The effortless cool glamour of Miami has come to Thailand in the form of the Wave Hotel in Pattaya.
This brand new boutique hotel purposely stands out with pastel colors and a hot pink Cadillac parked out front during the daytime and neon lights come nightfall. However, when it comes to Thai hospitality and service the Wave Hotel should fit right in with other whimsical and flirty hotels in the Pattaya Bay area.
Located next to the Central Festival entertainment complex, the Wave Hotel has 21 rooms decorated in a Tiffany-blue palate with black and white upholstered furniture. Balconies come with comfy chairs and rooms are equipped with 42-inch LED televisions and free WIFI. Top-end Twilight Rooms are furnished with four-poster canopy king-size bed and have expansive views of the bay. Bathrooms are extra big with black and white mosaic tile and marble as well as deep soaking tubs, rainshowers, his and her sinks, thick robes and delicious-smelling bath amenities.
