Holiday Inn Vana Nava Hua Hin unveils a dual-concept transformation with the debut of Stella, an intimate Italian dining destination, and The Sky, a vibrant rooftop bar—crowned with a glittering grand opening celebration
On Saturday the 27th of September, Holiday Inn Vana Nava Hua Hin unveiled its newest rooftop concepts with an exclusive private Grand Opening celebration that set the tone for what promises to be Hua Hin’s most exciting dining destination. Guests for the evening included His Excellency Khun Suwat Liptapanlop, VIPs from Bangkok and Hua Hin, as well as members of both local and national media
Against a backdrop of sweeping Gulf views, a ribbon-cutting ceremony and opening remarks marked the official debut of the hotel’s reimagined rooftop. Guests were then introduced to Stella, a new Italian dining concept, before settling into a starlit dinner that perfectly showcased the restaurant’s authentic cuisine. It was a night of sophistication and intimacy, blending fine dining with festive energy, and a fitting launch for Hua Hin’s newest rooftop jewel.
A Dual-Concept Rooftop Experience
The private party celebrated the arrival of two distinct venues atop the 27th floor: Stella, a refined Italian restaurant, and THE SKY, a vibrant rooftop bar. Together, they represent Holiday Inn Vana Nava Hua Hin’s bold transformation of its iconic rooftop space, once home to the beloved Vana Nava Sky. By pairing a lively social bar with an elegant dining destination, the hotel has created a multifaceted experience that speaks to the diverse tastes of its guests.
Stella: An Italian Dining Experience with Soul
The heart of the transformation is Stella, a restaurant that brings Neapolitan-inspired cuisine to the rooftops of Hua Hin. Inside, sleek Italian-inspired interiors create an atmosphere that feels contemporary yet warm, while the open-air terrace overlooks the dramatic curve of Khao Takiab. It is an ideal setting for romantic escapes, family dinners, or even intimate wedding celebrations under the stars.
A highlight of Stella’s approach is the Tableside Trolley service, where chefs prepare dishes right at the table, turning dinner into a performance that is both engaging and memorable. Seating up to 60 guests, Stella strikes a perfect balance between exclusivity and approachability, ensuring every visit feels like a special occasion.
THE SKY: Cocktails, Energy, and Unmatched Views
On the same rooftop level, THE SKY continues to shine as Hua Hin’s ultimate perch above the city. Modern and cosmopolitan, it exudes an upbeat atmosphere perfect for cocktails at sunset or late-night gatherings. Its signature feature, the Sky Deck, dares guests to step onto a glass-floor platform suspended above the skyline, offering breathtaking 360-degree views of Hua Hin and the Gulf of Thailand.
Behind the bar, seasoned mixologists craft signature cocktails that rival the views for attention. Paired with a versatile menu of snacks and main dishes, THE SKY is more than a bar—it is a full experience, where modern luxury meets casual vibrancy.
Elevating Hua Hin’s Rooftop Scene
With Stella and THE SKY, Holiday Inn Vana Nava Hua Hin has set a new benchmark for dining and nightlife in the city. The Grand Opening celebration underscored not only the glamour of the new venues but also the hotel’s commitment to elevating Hua Hin’s hospitality landscape. Guests now have the option to begin their evening with cocktails high above the city, savor an authentic Italian dinner under the stars, and return to the lively atmosphere of THE SKY—all within one unforgettable night.
Both venues are open daily from 5:00 PM to midnight, welcoming locals, travelers, couples, and families alike. With this rooftop transformation, Holiday Inn Vana Nava Hua Hin hasn’t just raised the bar – they’ve put it on the 27th floor and dared us all to reach it. Challenge accepted.
