NH Hotels & Resorts Expands to Hua Hin
Global hospitality group Minor Hotels has announced the upcoming launch of NH Hua Hin, marking the NH Hotels & Resorts brand’s entry into Thailand’s historic royal seaside town. The group will officially take over management of the property on 16 January 2026, further reinforcing its multi-brand strategy across key Thai destinations.
The opening will bring the NH brand to its fourth property in Thailand, joining existing NH hotels in Bangkok and Phuket, while expanding Minor Hotels’ footprint in Hua Hin to three properties alongside Anantara Hua Hin Resort and Avani+ Hua Hin.
A Select-Service Hotel Designed for Leisure and Business
NH Hua Hin will feature 152 modern rooms and suites, with sizes starting from 30 square metres, offering city and mountain views. The accommodation mix is designed to appeal to both leisure travellers and business guests, with layouts focused on comfort, practicality, and flexibility.
Room categories will include:
- Deluxe rooms for short and extended stays
- Family rooms with bunk beds, catering to multi-generational travel
- One-bedroom suites offering additional space and privacy
The hotel positions itself firmly within the select-service segment, aiming to deliver quality, efficiency, and value without compromising on comfort.
Dining, Rooftop Views and Family-Friendly Facilities
Food and beverage will play a central role at NH Hua Hin, with three dining outlets planned to serve both in-house guests and visitors.
Dining and leisure highlights include:
- An all-day dining restaurant serving international favourites alongside local Thai specialities
- A lobby café offering light bites and drinks throughout the day
- A rooftop bar set beside an infinity pool, designed for sunset views and evening gatherings
Recreational facilities will include a rooftop swimming pool, a fully equipped fitness centre, and a Kids’ Club featuring both indoor and outdoor play areas, reinforcing the hotel’s appeal to families.
Meetings and Events Offering
For corporate travellers and group bookings, NH Hua Hin will provide a 110-square-metre function room capable of hosting up to 90 guests. The space is designed for:
- Business meetings
- Off-site retreats
- Private events and social gatherings
The offering supports Hua Hin’s growing profile as a destination for small-scale meetings and incentive travel.
Prime Location in Thailand’s Royal Beach Resort
Located approximately 200 kilometres south of Bangkok, Hua Hin has long been known as Thailand’s royal seaside retreat. NH Hua Hin will occupy a prime location at the southern end of the town, offering convenient access to many of the destination’s key attractions.
Nearby attractions include:
- Hua Hin Beach, approximately 400 metres from the hotel
- Cicada Night Market and Hua Hin Night Market
- Major shopping centres such as BLÚPORT Hua Hin and Market Village Hua Hin
Beyond the town itself, Hua Hin also serves as a gateway to Prachuap Khiri Khan province, home to natural attractions including Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park, Phraya Nakhon Cave, and Pa-La-U Waterfall in Kaeng Krachan National Park.

“We are proud to introduce the NH Hotels & Resorts brand to a third city in Thailand. NH Hua Hin will set a new benchmark for accessible hospitality in Hua Hin, complementing our luxury and premium offerings in the region.”
