Only an hour out of Bankok by car (it will take you an hour just to get out of Bangkok!) The hotel was previously the old train station in Hua Hin - not just any old train station but the king's own private station! This gives you an idea of how special this hotel is - old fashioned Thai / colonial buildings in rich wood - sumptuously decorated - old fashioned, yet with all modern amenities. The gardens are exquisite, with exotic topiary carved in elephant shapes and train shapes. The pool and beach are excellent. Service is impeccable. Try High Tea in one of the 2-3 tea rooms before relaxing with a gin & tonic for sundown - then you'll know how the king of Siam felt when his train arrived here...
