Hard Rock Hotel Pattaya sits right on Beach Road and, with its large sand-beach pool, is popular with families and younger travellers alike. A fixed-price transfer from Bangkok brings you relaxed to the lively lobby.
The route from the airport to Pattaya
Most travellers land at Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK). From there it is around two hours by motorway to Beach Road in the heart of Pattaya. If you arrive via Don Mueang (DMK), allow about two and a half hours, as the drive goes around the north of Bangkok. From U-Tapao (UTP) in the east, Pattaya is quickest to reach at roughly 45 minutes. The private transfer has a fixed price from $53, set before booking, and includes up to 90 minutes of waiting time at the airport. Instead of haggling at the taxi rank, you step straight into a waiting vehicle and travel to the Hard Rock Hotel with no stops.
Location and surroundings of Hard Rock Hotel Pattaya
The Beach Road location is central and lively. The hotel is known for its large pool with a sand-beach area and its music theme. Central Festival, restaurants and nightlife are quickly reached.
Who Hard Rock Hotel Pattaya suits

That way you know what the transfer to Pattaya costs before you even travel.
Meeting point and pick-up at the airport
At Suvarnabhumi (BKK) you meet your driver in the arrivals hall on Level 2, near Arrival Gate 3. After baggage claim and customs, keep to the right; the driver waits with a sign showing your name.

The driver's direct phone number is in your booking confirmation.
Good to know for your arrival
For flight delays under 30 minutes the driver adjusts the arrival automatically; beyond that, the 90 minutes of free waiting time at the airport help. Night arrivals are no problem either, as transfers run around the clock. Keep your flight number and the address of Hard Rock Hotel Pattaya to hand, and the arrival in Pattaya will go smoothly.
