Penthouse Pattaya | Top Floor Sea View | Pratumnak Hill

‹ ›

1 / 29

Room 7 at Grosvenor House is the penthouse apartment on Pratumnak Hill, Pattaya. This is a holiday rental, not the adult hotel that dominates the search results for this keyword. It is on the top floor of a boutique residential building at 338/6 Pratumnak Road, 150 metres from Big Buddha, with a full sea view of the Gulf of Thailand. 110 sqm, two bedrooms, maximum four guests. Rates from ฿5,000 per night, ฿30,000 per week, or ฿65,000 per month.

If you searched “penthouse Pattaya” and found this page, you are in the right place for a proper self-contained holiday apartment. The penthouse on Pratumnak Hill is a different category from the hotels and OTA listings that fill the first page of results.

Why Pratumnak Hill is Pattaya’s Most Desirable Address

Pratumnak Hill sits between central Pattaya and Jomtien, rising above both. It is consistently called the Beverly Hills of Pattaya, and the comparison holds. The Thai Royal family maintains a summer palace here. The Royal Thai Navy base occupies the southern slope. The roads are quieter, the buildings lower, and the residents mostly expats and long-stay visitors who know the city well enough to avoid the noisier parts of it.

Expats choosing a base in Pattaya tend to land on Pratumnak. The hill has supermarkets, restaurants, massage shops, and easy access to the beach without being on it. Walking Street and Bali Hai Pier are five minutes south by car. Jomtien Beach is five minutes north. Pratumnak itself is residential and quiet after dark.

If the question is which area of Pattaya is best to stay, Pratumnak is the answer for anyone who wants the city within reach but does not want to be inside it every night.

The View from Room 7: What You Actually See

Room 7 is the top floor of Grosvenor House. The view faces west over the Gulf of Thailand: open water, the outline of Koh Larn island in the distance, and the Pattaya coastline curving north. At night the bay lights up across the water. Room 6 directly below has a partial view over rooftops. Room 7 has the full picture, clear above the surrounding buildings.

This is the best view in the building by a meaningful margin. The elevation above the treeline on the hill opens the sight line in a way the lower rooms cannot match.

What’s in the Penthouse

• Two queen bedrooms (110 sqm)
• Fully equipped kitchen: hob, oven, fridge, microwave, full cookware
• Living room and dining area
• Smart TV
• Fast Wi-Fi
• Air conditioning
• En-suite bathroom with hot shower
• Complimentary cleaning every three days
• Fresh towels and bedding included
• Maximum four guests

The kitchen is a full kitchen, not a kitchenette. Tesco Lotus is directly across the road if you are cooking in. The 7-Eleven is also across the road for everything else.

The Pool

An Olympic-size pool on the second floor of the building is available to all Grosvenor House guests at no extra charge. No booking required. The pool is shared with other guests in the building, not private to the penthouse, but it is consistently quiet. Long-stay guests have described having it to themselves. The setting is the forested hillside behind the building with Big Buddha rising above.

Most days you will have it to yourself, or close to it. It is one of the better pool situations on Pratumnak for what you actually pay.

Penthouse Pattaya: How Room 7 Compares to the Alternatives

The penthouse Pattaya search results are dominated by the Penthouse Pattaya adult entertainment hotel on Pattaya Beach Road. If that is what you are looking for, this is not that place. Room 7 at Grosvenor House is a self-contained holiday apartment on a quiet residential hill.

For hotel-style penthouses, the Amari Residences and La Miniera both offer premium rooms in Pattaya. Amari is a larger resort-style property at the northern end of Pattaya Beach. La Miniera is serviced apartments closer to Jomtien. Both are larger operations with more guests and more noise. Grosvenor House has seven rooms total. The difference is a boutique building with a small team, a cafe at the door, and a location that expats and repeat visitors choose deliberately.

For the combination of a quiet hill address, a full sea view, Olympic pool access, and a fully equipped kitchen, Room 7 sits in a clear category of its own at Pratumnak rates.

What is the Safest Part of Pattaya?

Pratumnak Hill is consistently considered the safest area of Pattaya. The Royal family’s summer residence on the hill brings with it the kind of maintenance and security that comes with proximity to royalty. The Royal Thai Navy base on the southern slope does the same. The residential character of the streets means less foot traffic at night and fewer of the situations that create problems in the busier tourist zones.

Pratumnak is not far from the city centre, but it is far enough. The roads are well lit, the neighbourhood is settled, and there is no entertainment strip to attract the kind of crowd that creates security concerns elsewhere in Pattaya. For families, couples, and solo travellers who want to be in Pattaya without being in the thick of it, Pratumnak is the answer.

Jomtien vs Pattaya Beach: Which is Closer?

From Pratumnak Hill, Jomtien Beach is closer and cleaner than Pattaya Beach. Dongtan Beach, at the northern end of Jomtien, is a 15-minute walk down the hill. It is a calm beach with a mix of local Thai visitors and foreign tourists, cleaner water than Pattaya Beach, and significantly less noise.

Pattaya Beach is five to ten minutes north by car or songthaew. It is the main beach, longer and more developed, but busier and louder. Jomtien is the choice for anyone who actually wants to swim. Pratumnak sits between the two and can access either on a given day.

Getting Around

Songthaews run along Pratumnak Road in both directions. The fare for short hops is ฿10. Grab (the local Uber equivalent) covers all of Pattaya from the building’s front door. Motorbike taxis wait at the junction and at Tesco Lotus. Motorbike hire is available nearby if you want to explore at your own pace.

Walking Street is five minutes by Grab. Bali Hai Pier for the Koh Larn ferry is the same. Dongtan Beach is a 15-minute walk downhill. Big Buddha is 150 metres up the road and worth the walk even if you are not going for the temple.

There is no car parking at the building itself. Cars park at Tesco Lotus across the road or on the local soi. Motorbikes park at the entrance.

The Lunch Box Cafe

The Lunch Box Cafe is on the ground floor of the building, open daily from 8am to 5pm. It is the first and last thing you pass on the way in and out.

The kitchen serves a proper English breakfast: eggs, back bacon, pork sausages, Branston beans, toast, and a hot drink. Cold-pressed juices made fresh every day, fourteen varieties from ฿115. Espresso coffee from ฿63. Paninis, wraps, fresh salads, and daily specials through to 5pm.

For penthouse guests, breakfast is solved before you leave the building. Full menu at thelunchboxpattaya.com/menu.

See the breakfast guide for Pratumnak Hill for other morning options on the hill.
