Hilton Hotel Pattaya5 stars

Modern luxury oceanfront hotel, located directly above Asia’s largest beach shopping mall, with the lobby on the 16th floor of the building. The advantage here is height and convenience.

Hilton’s ultra-modern rooms have a balcony with stunning ocean views, so does the infinity pool and sun deck. Guest rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows, LCD TV and fabulous bathrooms with rain showers.

There is 300+ shops and restaurants in the area; a 10-screen cinema and a bowling alley, just moments from the hotel’s lobby. The gay nightlife in BoyzTown is a 10-minute walk away.
