Where to Stay in Pattaya Beach
Editor's Guide to Hotel Locations in Pattaya Beach
Pattaya Beach has hordes of hotels catering for every budget and taste, so here's a guide to help you decide where to stay. Featuring short informative descriptions of each of its four main areas Beach Road, Pattaya Second Road, Pattaya South and Pattaya Hill and its best hotels, it's been put together to help you find exactly the right hotel, in exactly the right location… |
|
Pattaya Beach is a scenic 4km long crescent of sand backed by a promenade and palm trees, a busy one-way road, and a dense layer of luxury hotels, shops, bars, restaurants and market stalls. The southern end is home to the nightlife that gives Pattaya its notoriety, while the northern end is calmer and less densely built up. Many of Pattaya’s most exclusive resorts are found here, with prices reflecting their premium location opposite the beach and near the city’s best shopping and nightlife. (Note: Unless otherwise stated, all rooms include air-conditioning, TV and hot water.) |

4-Star Resort | Quiet Location | Large Swimming Pool | Ideal for Families | Several Restaurants
Forget beached whale, the quieter northern end of Pattaya Bay (next to Soi 3) has its own beached cruise liner. Inside is a luxurious hotel featuring 500 cabins and suites (3 different types) all with a nautical flavour. Lots of facilities too: three restaurants (international, local cuisine or seafood), a fitness centre, conference and meeting rooms, and a gorgeous pool area out front just across from the beach. A Children's Corner provides entertainment for your kids while 'on-board'. A short minute 'songthaew'(taxi costing 10 baht) ride and you're at the busier southern end with its nightlife and Walking Street.(A-one Royal Cruise Hotel has rooms available at special price on Latestays, starting at 2,250 THB)

On the northern tip of Pattaya Bay (top of Beach Road), the Dusit Resort is one of Pattaya's most exclusive. Serene coastal privacy and proximity to Pattaya's action are just two of its many upmarket attributes. With posh restaurants (including renowned dim sum cuisine at The Peak), tennis courts, a fitness centre, two large swimming pools (one lagoon, one lap), there's a spot for every guest to feel special or secluded. All 462 rooms are contemporary in design, and the snazzy Executive Club Floors (with Club/Grand/Suite rooms) include a private lounge with day-long snacks and sweeping bay views. Those without sea views from their room, can enjoy them in public areas.

This central and very bustling main road lies parallel to Beach Road, only a couple of hundred metres inland. In terms of nightlife and shopping, those staying here are as well placed as those on Beach Road. Beer bars, restaurants, shops, malls and hotels fill its sides, and Walking Street is just as accessible. However, within this densely built up area, sea views and spacious facilities are harder to come by than on Beach Road. Much of the accommodation is therefore of the budget or mid-range variety.
Connecting Pattaya Second Road with Beach Road are many long thin streets or ‘sois’, which heading from north to south are numbered 1 to 16. Filled with mid-range hotels and budget guesthouses, those in the north are relatively quiet (Sois 1-6) while those south of Central Pattaya Road (7-16) get progressively more lively as you get closer to nightlife centre Walking Street. (Note: Unless otherwise stated, all rooms include air-conditioning, TV and hot water.)
On Second Road
These hotels are on Second Road itself. The upper part of Second Road (north of Central Road) is by no means quiet, but a little calmer than those in the lower part (south of Central Road), closer to the nightlife centre Walking Street. Convenience stores, beer bars, restaurants, markets and malls can be found all the way along it. |

This is the area immediately south of South Pattaya Road, and flanked by Pattaya Hill to its left and Jomtien Beach to the South. It includes pedestrianised nightlife hotspot Walking Street, so hotels here are very well placed for those wanting to explore the notorious neon-lit stretch. Pattaya's best shopping and restaurants are also close by. Most of these hotels are inland though, and so usually lack sea views. However, there are exceptions, like the stunning beachfront sanctuary that is Siam Bayshore Hotel. The longer and quieter Jomtien Beach is no more than ten minutes in a 'songthaew'(hop-on public
taxi). |

A raised headland at the southern end of Pattaya Bay, Pattaya Hill is accessible by winding roads that lead to the top. Popular with families, it’s full of upmarket resorts with luxury facilities, large gardens, gourmet restaurants, panoramic sea views and a quiet, serene atmosphere suited to relaxation.
