Hua Hin, Thailand, December 23, 2022 / TRAVELINDEX / Best Western Hotels and Resorts has further expanded its portfolio in one of Thailand's most sought-after destinations with the opening of its first hotel in Hua Hin: Best Western Plus Carapace Hotel Hua Hin, a brand new, design-oriented beachfront hotel.

Nestled in the idyllic coastal enclave of Khao Tao, just 10 minutes south of Hua Hin and about a 2.5-hour drive from Bangkok, this brand-new resort offers a flowing, organic design, a wide range of accommodations, and fantastic facilities for leisure and business – the perfect place to relax and be inspired by the beauty of nature.

The selection of 380 modern rooms and suites (30 to 99 square meters) includes ground-floor rooms with pool access, spacious family rooms, and stylish suites, thus offering the perfect option for every traveler – whether couple or family. Each room is equipped with high-quality linens, a desk, LED TV, minibar, kettle, and free Wi-Fi, and features a balcony or terrace with views of the gardens, pools, mountains, or sea.

Guests can cool off in three refreshing pools, while children have fun in the water play area with its numerous slides. Light snacks and unforgettable meals are served in the elegant, all-day dining restaurant Biscay, and the Carapace Beach Club is a dreamy spot for sunset drinks.

The Best Western Plus Carapace Hotel Hua Hin is also an exceptional destination for out-of-town events and beach weddings. Its 354-square-meter ballroom, with ceilings over 4.5 meters high and a spacious foyer, is ideal for lavish celebrations. Alternatively, it can be flexibly divided into two smaller rooms for more intimate meetings. Thanks to state-of-the-art audiovisual technology, this impressive venue provides the perfect setting for life's most cherished moments.

“We are delighted to open the Best Western Plus Carapace Hotel Hua Hin, our first hotel in Hua Hin. Its tranquil location in Khao Tao and proximity to world-class activities and experiences – from golf courses and water parks to shopping malls, cultural attractions, and much more – will allow us to bring the wonders of the Gulf Coast closer to our guests. Thailand is one of our key strategic markets, and we look forward to expanding our presence to many more parts of the Kingdom in 2023 and beyond,” said Olivier Berrivin, Vice President of Operations – APAC, BWH Hotel Group®.

Best Western currently operates 14 hotels and resorts in Thailand, and this group will grow to 17 properties next month following the highly anticipated opening of two new hotels in Bangkok.
