Nearby Attractions

Three of Hua Hin’s top highlights are within easy reach of the hotel:

• Hua Hin Railway Station: Just 1.5 kilometers from the hotel, this 100-year-old station is one of Thailand’s most photographed landmarks, famous for its gabled wooden pavilions and distinctive Victorian-style architecture, built to serve Thai royal visits to Hua Hin in the 1920s. The well-preserved historic station is free to visit and still operates daily local and intercity trains.
• Hua Hin Beach: A 10-minute walk from Hattara Hotel, this soft golden-sand beach is ideal for early-morning walks, sunset swims, or casual seafood dinners at open-air beach shacks. Unlike busier Thai beach destinations, it remains largely uncrowded even during peak season.
• Cicada Market: Located 3 kilometers south of the hotel, this open-air weekend night market is Hua Hin’s go-to spot for handmade crafts, local art, live music, and street food. Open every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evening, it’s a favorite with both travelers and local expats.

Travel Tips

Book your room in advance during peak season (November to February) to secure your preferred view or room type. Take advantage of the hotel’s on-site car rental to day trip to nearby Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park, an hour’s drive from Hua Hin, if you have extra time. For meals, leave the hotel and walk 5 minutes to Cholpratan Road’s local street food stalls for authentic Thai dishes at a fraction of restaurant prices. If you’re arriving via train from Bangkok, the 24-hour front desk can arrange an inexpensive 5-minute taxi pick-up from Hua Hin Station to avoid haggling for fares.
