Meliá Pattaya Hotel is set to launch in Pattaya on February 15.
In a press statement, Meliá Hotel says that the 234-key hotel pays homage to Pattaya’s ethnic diversity and commands expansive views of the Gulf of Thailand.
Situated in vibrant Pattaya, a short drive from Bangkok on the Gulf of Thailand’s east coast, the hotel stands 12 stories high on Second Road, known as Pattaya Sai Song, near an array of attractions.
The statement adds that in addition to its sun-soaked Lay Beach Club on Beach Road fronting Pattaya Beach, Meliá Pattaya Hotel will feature a rooftop restaurant with a sky bar, an executive lounge, a swimming pool with an adjacent bar and function lawn, Meliá’s signature YHI Spa, kids club Kidsdom, gym, a coworking space, a collection of versatile meeting spaces, and more.
Launched by Spanish hotel group Meliá Hotels International and owned by Thailand’s leading integrated lifestyle real estate group Asset World Corporation (AWC), the five-star hotel is part of the Meliá brand’s rollout in key destinations across Thailand.
The statement adds that Meliá Pattaya Hotel, Thailand’s debut follows the openings of Meliá Koh Samui in 2020, Meliá Phuket Mai Khao in 2021, Meliá Chiang Mai in 2022 and INNSiDE By Meliá Bangkok Sukhumvit in 2023.
The statement goes on to say that the hotel’s food and beverage outlets collectively reference Pattaya’s diversity of people, their shrines, and markets, especially the longstanding Chinese communities of Chonburi.
The hotel’s rooftop restaurant and bar, Yitong Chinese Restaurant & Sky Bar, will serve Cantonese cuisine with some Sichuan choices in a setting characterised by pops of red, complemented by black and gold trimmings.

Ranging from a convenient 27 sqm to a generous 125 sqm, the hotel’s 218 rooms and 16 suites fall into seven accommodation categories for leisure and business travellers alike. The 27 sqm deluxe rooms and deluxe sea view rooms feature king or twin beds and window-side sofa.
The premium room and the level premium sea view room are each 31 sqm with the latter offering views of the Gulf’s azure waters. There are also one- and two-bedroom level suites that span 61 to 125 sqm respectively, including the level presidential suite.
