Hua Hin Hilton for sale

[theoldgit]

I see that the Hua Hin Hilton is on the market, any takers?

Can anybody remember what it was before being part of the Hilton chain?

The Melia was its name at the beginning. Are you sure its for sale? Or is it the same rumours circulating again.

There is a large, quarter page, advert on the back page of the classified section of todays Bangkok Post.

Does it say how much?

[theoldgit]

No, expressions of interest.

Is Hilton just a Franchise like Subway or 7/11.?.

Probably a management company in this case.

The Hua Hin Hilton, while nicely maintained, has become rather old and dated looking. It really needs a major overhaul, perhaps even being closed for a while when this is done. It does have the best location of any hotel in Hua Hin IMHO.

This, combined with the fact that that the Tourism Authority of Thailand has designated the Hua Hin area as a upscale destination and is encouraging the hotels here to do improvements to their properties and raise their rates. I think that the Hilton is going to need a major cash infusion in the near future for a mass overhaul, thus maybe the reason for the sale.

Well, Hilton has actually been under renovation for a couple of months and the ball room is currently being done.

Been staying in the Hilton since 2011...cannot beat its location and room views over the bay. Decent service and food. Hope the Hilton will stay managing the property whoever buys it. Coming back mid June for another golfing holiday and looking forward to a sundowner drink in the rooftop bar…cheers.
