The Galla Hotel  

In the heart of Ranong's city center, this ship-shaped lifestyle hotel sits steps from Ranong Walking Street and the Governor's Residence. You're a short drive from Rattanarangsarn Palace, local hot springs and Raksawarin Arboretum.

Think nautical-chic: handmade furniture and a bold ship concept give the place a fresh vibe. The 48 air-conditioned rooms feature private balconies, flat-screen TVs, refrigerators and deep soaking bathtubs.

Swim in indoor and outdoor pools or work out in the fitness center. Free Wi-Fi, a bar/lounge, cafe, room service, tour/ticket assistance, free self-parking and an airport shuttle (surcharge, on request) make stays easy and lively.

A business center and banquet hall are available, along with luggage storage and safe-deposit boxes. Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected for work or meetings.

Stop by the on-site restaurant or the charming cafe for coffee and city views. The hotel highlights authentic Korean cuisine in its cafe/restaurant; continental breakfast is served daily (6:30–10:00) for a fee, and evening drinks are available at the bar.
