To enhance your relaxing getaway after a rejuvenating closure, Intercontinental Hua Hin Resort returns with a fresh look, emphasizing a more vibrant atmosphere.

With various renovated areas, your stay is guaranteed to be replenished and fulfilled at Intercontinental Hua Hin Resort.
Let’s begin with the lobby, which maintains its luxurious and classic ambiance. However, for those who have booked the Club Intercontinental rooms, check-in is available at the Lounge. Here, you can enjoy a waiting area with complimentary snacks and beverages, including hot and cold tea and coffee. The atmosphere is more private, providing a comfortable seating area, and an afternoon tea service is available at your convenience. The pastries, freshly baked from the hotel’s kitchen, are delightful – fresh, fragrant, and presented in an inviting manner. As for the savory options, there are small club sandwiches, bite-sized burgers, assorted bread, and light spreads, offering a satisfying yet light indulgence.
It’s check-in time, and today our accommodation is in the Beach Wing zone, named the Premium Pool View Room. This Premium room has recently undergone a stylish renovation, evident in its visually pleasing and updated appearance. While the room layout remains unchanged, the new furnishings provide a sleek and luxurious feel. The addition of speakers allows guests to enjoy their favorite music for a delightful stay.

Walking just a short distance brings you to the beach. The beach area has been newly renovated, enhancing the experience for guests to get closer to the sea. This time, the hotel has arranged new sunbed areas, allowing guests to take in the sea view. This upgrade provides an even greater sense of being immersed in the ocean atmosphere.
Cocco Bar, the art-deco bar, has transformed into a Beach Bar that is even more enticing than before. With the hotel’s recent upgrades to the beachfront relaxation area, the overall atmosphere is now more relaxed, lively, and fun – embodying the style of a beach club. However, it still retains the original concept of Cocco Bar, blending local artist illustrations that reflect the authentic essence of Hua Hin. Especially during the evening, the ambiance is so inviting that you wouldn’t want to leave your seat and head back to your room.
During the afternoon Club Benefit, we serve canapés. Let’s take a look together to see what delicious options are available. It’s a light meal, so if you don’t restrain yourself, you might end up feeling quite full. Dinner portions are limited, and there is a variety of small drinks available, similar to before. In the evening, there is also a one-hour Happy Hour promotion.
And this is what made us choose to stay at Club Intercontinental because tonight we have a dinner reservation at Azure, the farm-to-table and sea-to-table inspired seafood restaurant. It’s renowned for its freshness, as if the ingredients are sourced directly from the farm and the sea, and it also supports the local community. The dining atmosphere at Azure, situated right by the sea, has been newly renovated to enhance the experience of enjoying seaside dining. The restaurant is open-air, allowing the sea breeze to flow in, and it is adorned with cream-colored wooden accents, creating an atmosphere of elegance and relaxation. The ambiance is further complemented by various paintings depicting a variety of fish.
The menu features dishes that utilize ingredients sourced from the local community, serving Mediterranean-style seafood dishes with a focus on high-quality ingredients from the Thai sea.
In the morning, don’t forget the almsgiving activity organized by the hotel. It creates a charming and romantic atmosphere. Moreover, you’ll have the opportunity to make a merit and feel fulfilled.
The morning atmosphere from the hotel’s beach and the beautiful pool area is worth waking up early to see. The golden sun rises above the sea, and people come out for a walk or simply relax by the pool. It’s a wonderful way to start the day with a breath of fresh air and a sense of tranquility.
Breakfast at Intercontinental Hua Hin Resort is one of the highlights of the stay. The setup is inspired by the Hua Hin night market, and this time they’ve added an ice cream press station with various toppings for you to choose from. They separate the Thai desserts and pancakes into distinctive zones, which works really well. It’s another thing to appreciate about the breakfast arrangement at Intercontinental Hua Hin Resort—they have a section for Asian cuisine and another for Western dishes. You can explore and enjoy various options like Thai sweets, pancakes, egg stations, and Hainanese chicken rice. It’s well-organized, and you can also order a la carte items like eggs or beverages, with attentive and friendly staff ready to assist you.
Let’s take a look at the must-try highlights that you shouldn’t miss—various types of high-quality cheese with ham and salami. Enjoy them with freshly baked bread and a selection of sauces, creating a complete and satisfying culinary experience that has it all.

Bakery, Pastry, and Thai Desserts
The accommodation, unparalleled by others, and the dining experience, also not to be surpassed with fine dining, are reasonably priced, delivering both in terms of taste and atmosphere. Jaras is recommended for those who want to celebrate special occasions or indulge in high-quality fine dining. The Thai cuisine served is meticulously prepared and served with great care. The beautiful presentation of each dish, along with the use of locally sourced ingredients creatively reinvented to enhance diversity and flavors, makes Jaras a worthwhile choice.

Recommendation: “Hor Mok Khun Ya” is a signature dish at Jaras restaurant, and the course begins with “Caviar Kratong Thong Hoi Shell”. It features succulent top-shell clams topped with caviar, creating an incredibly delicious experience. Following that, there’s the “Thod Man Pooh” Cake made from crabs sourced from Takiap, known for its tender and flavorful meat. The Tabletop “Tom Yum Gung KraDarn (ROCK LOBSTER)” comes next, where prawns are boiled with the shells on beforehand, enhancing the soup’s flavor.
