Anantara Hua Hin Resort
Hua Hin, Thailand · Anantara · High Luxury
The house that launched Anantara opened in 2001 in Hua Hin, the royal seaside town where King Rama VII built Klai Kangwon Palace in 1926. A Thai-village plan, worked with landscape architect Bill Bensley, became the template for a brand that now stretches across dozens of countries. Michelin has given the original a Key, and the gardens still read as a village of lanes between the houses.
- 171 rooms
- Opened 2001
- Neighborhood: Hua Hin District
- Rooms from 344 sq ft (32 m²)
