InterContinental Pattaya Resort by IHG  

Perched on a coastal bluff in South Pattaya with sweeping views of the Gulf of Thailand and Koh Larn, this five-star resort sits less than two hours from Bangkok and just minutes from Walking Street and Pattaya Beach Road.

Expect spacious guestrooms, suites and private villas with furnished balconies that frame sea and island views. Rooms feature minibars and refrigerators, large flat-screen TVs, rainfall showers plus separate tubs, and creature comforts like bathrobes and slippers. The on-site full-service spa and multiple pools make it easy to clock out and sink into island mode.

Three outdoor pools plus an indoor pool and a private beach keep the water calling. Recharge in the spa, sauna and steam room, or keep fit in the gym. There’s a poolside bar, BBQ area, kids’ playrooms and babysitting services, plus concierge and tour desk for island excursions—wake up to sea-breeze mornings and plan your day from here.

Versatile meeting and conference facilities and a business center handle events of all sizes. Complimentary wired and wireless high-speed internet keeps work moving.

Two on-site restaurants include a flagship outlet serving authentic Thai cuisine, alongside a coffee shop/cafe and poolside bar. 24-hour room service and daily buffet breakfasts (early morning service) add easy options for every appetite.
