Hua Hin Sofitel Hotel

The Sofitel admirably manages to preserve one of Hua Hin's popular classic landmarks - the 70 years old topiary elephant Astriding the hotel's driveway now shaped like a cute baby elephant. The Spanish Melia chain has also come to town. The investors had purchased Hua Hin's first villa and built a highrise five-star deluxe hotel towering over the beach, giving the old beach view a totally new look.
