Standard King
The Standard, Hua Hin is a design-led five-star beachfront resort in the heart of town, in lush gardens steps from Hua Hin Beach and the Gulf of Thailand. Its 196 colourful rooms and villas pair a lively pool scene and beach club with an inventive spa and dining at Praça and Lido. It’s walkable to the night markets and historic railway station, with Black Mountain and Hua Hin’s golf 15–30 minutes away.
The 35m² Standard King sits on floors 1–3 with a six-foot king bed, a sitting area with sofa and pouf, a minibar, a Bluetooth speaker, a rain shower and garden views — all just steps from the beach. It sleeps two adults and a child, and is pet-friendly (charges apply).
- Breakfast and Airport transfer to and from the hotel are included
This hotel is perfect for golfers who…
- want a stylish beachfront base in the heart of Hua Hin, steps from the night markets
- like to pair championship golf at Black Mountain with a lively pool scene and great dining
- are travelling with a partner, family — or even their dog, since it's pet-friendly
The setting and heritage
The Standard, Hua Hin sits on Naresdamri Road in the centre of Hua Hin, the genteel seaside town on the Gulf of Thailand that Thai royalty made their summer retreat a century ago. The resort opens straight onto the beach through lush, design-led gardens, and that central position is a big part of its appeal: the historic Hua Hin Railway Station with its Victorian-era royal pavilion, the bustling Hua Hin Night Market, and the weekend art stalls of Cicada Market are all a short walk or drive away. Khao Takiab (Monkey Mountain) and the Monsoon Valley vineyards make easy day trips.
Design, pool, dining and pets
Inside, the mood is playful and colourful — a Standard signature — across 196 rooms, suites and villas, some with private pools, wrapped around a vibrant pool scene and a beach club with loungers and yoga on the sand. Dining is a highlight: Praça serves Thai izakaya plates and craft cocktails in one of Hua Hin’s most stylish beachfront settings, while Lido handles all-day indoor and al fresco meals and The Juice Café adds light bites and high tea. The Standard Spa works in a garden setting, and the resort is genuinely pet-friendly — it even donates a share of pet revenue to local Hua Hin animal rescues.
Golf access and getting around
For golf, Hua Hin is one of Thailand’s most relaxed and rewarding bases, with most courses 15–35 minutes from the centre. Black Mountain Golf Club — a regular tournament host and one of Asia’s most acclaimed layouts — sits in the hills west of town, while Pineapple Valley (formerly Banyan) offers a scenic, premium round nearby. For something different, Royal Hua Hin Golf Course, Thailand’s oldest, lies right beside the railway station in town, and Seapine Beach Golf is one of the country’s only true seaside courses. Hua Hin is also an easy 2.5–3 hour drive from Bangkok, making it simple to combine with a wider trip. The cooler, drier golf season runs November to April.
