Hilton Pattaya sits centrally on Beach Road above the Central Festival mall and stands for an upscale stay with views across the bay. A fixed-price transfer from Bangkok is ideal here, as access through the busy centre can otherwise cost time.
The route from the airport to Pattaya
Most travellers land at Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK). From there it is around two hours by motorway into the heart of the city on Beach Road. 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 Hilton Pattaya with no stops.
Location and surroundings of Hilton Pattaya
It is hard to be more central in Pattaya: Beach Road, the beach and Central Festival are right at the door, with restaurants and nightlife within walking distance. The Hilton is known for its rooftop pool and panoramic views over the bay.
Who Hilton Pattaya suits
Travellers who want comfort and a central location within walking distance of everything are well placed here. Because Beach Road is busy, a private transfer ensures a predictable arrival.
Vehicle and price for the transfer
For the trip to the Hilton Pattaya, vehicles for 1 to 19 people are available, from an economy car through comfort and minivan to a minibus for groups. The luggage capacity is shown per vehicle class during booking, and child seats can be requested. The price is a fixed price with no meter, and cancellation is free depending on the vehicle class. 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. For the trip to the Hilton Pattaya, enter the hotel name and full address in Pattaya when booking so the driver knows the destination. 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 Hilton Pattaya to hand, and the arrival in Pattaya will go smoothly.
