White Lotus Restaurant
Located within the Hilton Hua Hin hotel on Soi Naresdamri, White Lotus is an elevated dining destination offering Chinese and Thai cuisine with panoramic views from the 17th floor. The restaurant draws both hotel guests and locals seeking a more refined meal out, with standout dishes including Peking duck served three ways, hot and sour soup, and a well-regarded dim sum lunch service. The atmosphere is polished but welcoming, with attentive staff noted for their care and attention to detail. Cocktails are available, portions are generous enough to share, and the iced chrysanthemum tea comes recommended by visitors. The dim sum lunch in particular has proven popular for special occasions, making it a practical choice for travellers looking to mark a celebration without venturing far from central Hua Hin. A practical note for visitors: the kitchen closes at 2:30pm for lunch service, so arriving before 2:00pm is advisable if planning a midday meal. The restaurant is accessible to non-hotel guests, making it a worthwhile dining option even for those staying elsewhere in Hua Hin. Booking ahead is sensible during peak season between November and February, or for group visits and special occasions.

Visitor Reviews
WHITE LOTUS @ HILTON HUA HIN 4.7 stars We had a late lunch there on Monday, April 14, 2025, arriving at 1:50. Please be aware that the kitchen closes at 2:30pm. We were the only guests at that time. Location - Hilton Hua Hin, 17th floor (approx 4.3km, 15 minute ride from Bangkok Hospital HH Phet Kasem; across from Prime). Restaurant - clean, nicely appointed, indoor and outdoor seating available. View - stunning!! This is why we went. Food - plated nicely, tasty, served at appropriate temperatures. Staff - attentive, professional, helpful. Price - We paid 1187 baht (which included a discount for being a Hilton reward member) for 2 meals, 1 dessert, and 3 non-alcoholic drinks. . VAT and a 10% service fee were charged on the bill. Dress - during the day, casual (but not sloppy casual) to casual chic; at night, probably a bit dressier. Recommend - if this place is within your budget, definitely recommend for the view especially.
Visiting friends in hilton hotel so we came up to try this restaurant. Nice cocktails. Portion is good amount to share. Awesome service. Staff pay attention to every details and help us their best. And they speak good English. Nice view from balcony, good place to have proper appointment with people.
Came here on a Sunday. Staff greeted us and gave us the real price instead of the gross price. That was a pleasant surprise when the bill came Environment was superb Loved the iced Chrysanthemum tea (it was slightly sweetened) Good food selection Recommend this place 👍
Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
Learn the Spice Scale
Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.
Follow the Crowds
The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.
Ice Is Safe
Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
