The Akara Hotel is one of North Pattaya’s newest luxury additions — a sleek 24-storey glass tower that has quickly established itself as a serious competitor in the city’s high-end hotel market. Opened recently, the hotel combines modern design with a prime location near Terminal 21 and the northern end of Beach Road.
Location
The Akara sits on Pattaya-Na Kluea Road in North Pattaya, within a 10-minute walk of Terminal 21 shopping mall and Pattaya Beach Road. The Tiffany Show and Alcazar Cabaret are nearby, and Wongamat Beach is a short ride north. Central Pattaya’s nightlife and restaurant zones are easily accessible by baht bus or Grab.
North Pattaya is quieter than the central tourist strip but close enough to reach everything within minutes. For visitors who want a modern, upscale base without the constant noise of Beach Road, the location works well.
Rooms
The 24-storey tower offers rooms with city and partial sea views. All rooms come with air conditioning, private bathrooms, mini-bars, and free toiletries. Higher floors deliver increasingly impressive views of the Pattaya skyline and coastline.
The design is contemporary and polished — glass, clean lines, and neutral tones. Rooms are well-equipped for the price point and consistently praised by guests for cleanliness.
Rooftop & Facilities
The standout feature is the Barracuda Sky Gala on the rooftop — a ring-shaped infinity sky pool with panoramic views across Pattaya Bay. It is one of the more impressive hotel pools in the city, rivaling the Hilton Pattaya’s rooftop setup.
Other facilities include:
- Thale Restaurant — the hotel’s signature dining venue
- Full-service spa with treatment rooms
- Fitness center — modern equipment
- Bar with rooftop views
- 24-hour front desk and room service
Who Is It For?
The Akara appeals to visitors who want five-star facilities in a newer building without the premium of legacy brands. The North Pattaya location suits couples, solo travelers, and business visitors who prefer a slightly more residential neighborhood while staying connected to the city.
Rates
Rooms start from around 2,500 to 4,000 THB per night depending on season and room type. For a new 5-star property with a rooftop infinity pool, that represents solid value compared to the international chain hotels along Beach Road.
