MELIA PATTAYA, A FUSION OF CULTURE, LUXURY AND LOCAL CHARM
Meliá Pattaya Hotel, a stunning 234-room sanctuary blending rich cultural heritage with modern luxury, opened its doors on February 14, 2025.
Located along Pattaya’s iconic Second Road, just a short drive from Bangkok, Meliá Pattaya is poised to become a key landmark in the area. Rising 12 stories high, the hotel features not only spacious rooms but also a wealth of premium amenities that cater to every type of guest. From the sun-drenched Lay Beach Club on Pattaya Beach to the chic rooftop restaurant and sky bar, there’s no shortage of spaces to relax and indulge.
Guests can unwind in style at the hotel’s rooftop dining venue, Yitong Chinese Restaurant & Sky Bar, where a menu inspired by Pattaya’s diverse cultures celebrates Cantonese cuisine, with a hint of Sichuan flair. The warm red and gold tones of the restaurant echo the vibrant energy of the city, while the panoramic views of the Gulf of Thailand offer an unforgettable backdrop to a delicious meal.
For a taste of local flavors, Sanehh Sarae, the hotel’s all-day dining restaurant, delves into Pattaya’s fishing village culture, focusing on fresh, locally sourced seafood. Nearby, the Den restaurant offers a delightful fusion of Japanese and Peruvian cuisine, nodding to the region’s long history with Japanese expats, particularly from the “Thailand 3.0” era.
The hotel’s cultural story continues as soon as you enter the lobby. Inspired by Nong Mon Market, the lobby’s design celebrates Pattaya’s bustling markets and the beloved Khao Lam dish—sticky rice roasted in bamboo. The pool bar, in turn, is a tribute to Jomtien Beach’s vibrant history, especially the influx of American visitors in the 1960s and 70s.
With 218 rooms and 16 suites, Meliá Pattaya offers a variety of accommodation options ranging from the comfortable 27 sqm Deluxe Rooms to the expansive 125 sqm Presidential Suite. The rooms are designed with both business and leisure guests in mind, featuring elegant decor and thoughtful amenities. For those seeking an elevated experience, The Leveloffers an exclusive area with access to a private lounge, where guests can enjoy premium services such as upgraded breakfasts and afternoon snacks.
Families will appreciate the hotel’s array of child-friendly offerings, including the thrilling pool slide and the Kidsdomkids’ club. Designed with an “under the sea” theme inspired by Koh Pai Island, Kidsdom provides an educational yet entertaining space for young guests to enjoy.
Meliá Pattaya is also equipped with state-of-the-art meeting spaces, including two grand ballrooms that bathe in natural light, making it the perfect venue for both business events and special celebrations. The three additional meeting rooms and a coworking space cater to the needs of business travelers seeking a dynamic environment to work and collaborate.
Situated in the heart of Central Pattaya, the hotel is perfectly positioned to explore the best of the city. Nearby attractions include Pattaya Beach, Walking Street, Central Festival Pattaya, and the Sanctuary of Truth, while the nearby Koh Larn Island offers tranquil beaches and excellent snorkeling opportunities.
Meliá Pattaya Hotel is a part of The Aquatique Destinations Pattaya project, a mixed-use development by Asset World Corporation (AWC), and marks the brand’s fifth property in Thailand. This is a significant milestone for Meliá Hotels International, a renowned Spanish hospitality group that brings its signature passion for service and dedication to wellness to every guest experience.
“Meliá Pattaya Hotel will redefine luxury hospitality in one of Thailand’s most iconic beachside destinations,” said Mrs. Wallapa Traisorat, CEO of AWC. “We are proud to collaborate with Meliá to bring a truly unique experience to Pattaya, underscoring our commitment to sustainability and creating exceptional value for guests.”
With its focus on sustainable tourism and world-class service, Meliá Pattaya promises to be more than just a hotel; it’s a cultural journey where every detail, from the dining to the decor, reflects Pattaya’s diverse heritage.
