5-star hotels in Pattaya
It is for travellers who want a top-class stay in the city, whether on the beachfront, in the north of Pattaya or along the Jomtien coast.
Staying in Pattaya
Pattaya sits in Chon Buri Province and has 268 places to stay on this site, 45 of them rated 5-star. The average guest score across the city is 4.1 out of 5, so the hotels below sit well above that. The most reviewed in Pattaya are Hilton Pattaya, Centara Grand Phratamnak Pattaya and Centara Grand Mirage Beach Resort Pattaya, and all three appear here.
These hotels are spread along the coast rather than in one quarter. Addresses name Pattaya Nuea and Naklua in the north, Pattaya Beach Road and Pattaya Sai 1 Road at the centre, and Phra Tamnak, Na Kluea and Na Jomtien to the south. That suits couples who want the beach and the evening scene, families who need pools, kids' pools and games rooms, and business travellers who want a fitness centre and a central address. Distances to the centre range from 1.6 km for Avani Pattaya Resort to 15.3 km for Sea Sand Sun Resort and Villas SHA Plus.
