Hi all, does anyone know how you figure out new hotels in pattaya? Is there a website? I really want to stay in a new hotel while visit pattaya. Thank you.

What is your definition of new? 

 

Do you want to go to the blessing ceremony and be the first customer to ever stay in a hotel room, or is a 1 year old hotel still new for you?

"Holiday Inn Express" on Soi Buakhao.

Booking.com says open since April 23, 2019.

I doubt it, but it was open in late July when I passed by.

Kind of upscale for this neighborhood 

 

Don't mix up with the regular Holiday Inn.

 

Just seen that it is on the list in post above.

Grande Centre Point at T21 is less than 12 months old. It is a dry hotel, if that matters.

Holiday Inn Express is opened as far as I can tell.  Looks decent from the outside.  It's right on Buakao so might be a little noisy if facing the street.

 

I have walked around Navana nature resort.  Really nice place surrounded by gardens and greenery.  I'm sure it's not cheap.  Out of the way if you're not driving but lots of baht busses going by to Pattaya. The beach and view of Laem Chabang port is not so great but everything else about that place looks nice.

Do you mean no booze or no pool?

No booze. There is a water park on the roof.

Do they prohibit drinking of booze in the hotel ( restaurants included ?? ) or just don't have a mini bar in the rooms ?

There are several newer hotels on Soi 10.

Get one closer to Beach Road.

Page 10 is nice but there is a bar band till 2am close and noisy.

The ones closer to Beach road quieter.

As far as I know they don't sell alcohol, which would include minibars. I don't know if it is OK to take your own into your room. There are plenty of nearby boozing options, Drinking Street for one.

There was a short lived thread on here about it being dry, about 10 or 11 months ago.

Update: Just checked the hotel website and it states that the hotel does not sell alcohol but patrons can bring their own and there is no corkage charge.

The Stay midway down Soi 10.

 

The Whisper between Buakhao and Buakhao 15.

 

Access Inn on Sai Sahm near Lengkee.

 

All reasonably new and clean. I have found that the better quality of the finishing, the hotel's "newness" lasts longer. If they have good housekeeping and maintenance, even better. The worst must be the LK chain with their chintzy, faux French chateau embellishments that are worn out and grubby within a few months of opening. Their slack housekeeping and poor maintenance doesn't help much either.

Definition is within a year.
