About
InterContinental Pattaya Resort is the grande dame of Pratumnak Hill — a large 5-star resort that tumbles down the hillside on Phra Tamnak Road toward a private cove above Cosy Beach. Formerly the Sheraton Pattaya Resort, it rebranded to InterContinental and still trades on the qualities that made it a Pattaya favourite: space, mature tropical gardens, three lagoon-style pools threading through the grounds, and a genuinely private stretch of white sand — a rare thing so close to the city.
The location is the sweet spot Pratumnak is loved for: leafy and quiet at night, yet only a 10–15 minute drive from Walking Street one way and Jomtien the other. It is a resort you can happily not leave for a couple of days.
Rooms and suites
Rooms are generous by Pattaya standards, with the classic category around 51 square metres and a private balcony, in Garden View, Ocean View and Pool Terrace styles finished in contemporary Asian décor. Above them sit larger suites and villas, and a Club InterContinental floor with lounge access — breakfast, all-day refreshments and evening canapés — that reviewers consistently rate as the sweet spot for the money.
Pools, spa and dining
Three named lagoon pools — Spirituality, Splash and Serenity — cascade through the gardens to the beach, with the shallow Splash Lagoon aimed at younger children. The Amburaya Spa delivers facial and body treatments in private suites, and there are several restaurants and bars across the resort, from all-day dining to seafront tables.

Strengths and trade-offs
Why stay: a private beach, three garden pools, a proper spa, dependable InterContinental service and a leafy Pratumnak setting minutes from the action.
Know before you book: it is an older property and it shows in places — reviewers mention worn fixtures and pool tiles — and the big hillside site means walking and steps. Come for the setting, gardens and service rather than cutting-edge design, and budget for taxis on nights out.
Recorded facts, FAQs & qualifications
Full overview
InterContinental Pattaya Resort is a long-established 5-star resort draped down the seaward side of Pratumnak Hill, on Phra Tamnak Road above Cosy Beach — the quiet, green pocket of Pattaya that sits between Walking Street and Jomtien. Formerly the Sheraton Pattaya Resort before rebranding to InterContinental, it trades on space, mature landscaping and a genuinely private slice of coast: the grounds cascade through tropical gardens and three lagoon-style pools (named Spirituality, Splash and Serenity) down to a small private white-sand beach, an unusual luxury this close to the city. Rooms are large — the classic category is around 51 square metres — and come in Garden View, Ocean View and Pool Terrace styles, decorated with contemporary Asian touches and a private balcony; above them sit suites and villas, plus a well-regarded Club InterContinental floor with its own lounge. Wellness is handled by the Amburaya Spa, with private treatment suites, and dining runs across several restaurants and bars including all-day and seafront options. Guest reviews are largely positive on setting, service and the Club lounge, though some flag that parts of the resort feel dated — worn pool tiles and tired fixtures crop up in feedback — so it trades a little on reputation. Rates are premium but often keener than the newest luxury builds, typically from around 4,500 baht and up depending on season and room.

Frequently asked questions
Where is InterContinental Pattaya Resort and how far is Walking Street?
It is at 437 Phra Tamnak Road on Pratumnak Hill, the quiet headland between central Pattaya and Jomtien. Walking Street and central Pattaya are about a 10–15 minute drive; Cosy Beach is roughly an 11-minute walk downhill. Baht buses run along Phra Tamnak Road, and Grab reaches the gate.
Was this hotel formerly the Sheraton Pattaya?
Yes. The resort operated as the Sheraton Pattaya Resort before being rebranded as the InterContinental Pattaya Resort. It is an established property rather than a new build, which is worth bearing in mind — the setting is lovely, but some areas show their age.
Does it have its own beach and pools?
Yes — one of its biggest selling points. Three lagoon-style pools (Spirituality, Splash and Serenity) cascade through the gardens down to a small private white-sand beach, calmer and cleaner than the public city beaches. The shallow Splash Lagoon suits younger children.
What are the rooms like?
Spacious. The classic room is around 51 square metres with a private balcony, in Garden View, Ocean View or Pool Terrace styles and contemporary Asian décor. Suites and villas step up the space and privacy, and the Club InterContinental rooms add lounge access with breakfast and evening canapés.
Is there a spa?
Yes — the Amburaya Spa offers facial and body treatments in private suites, using botanical products. It is a popular part of a resort day here, alongside the pools and beach; book treatments ahead at busy times.
How much does it cost, and is it family friendly?
Rates are premium but often below the newest luxury resorts — typically from around 4,500 baht and rising with season, view and room type. It works well for families thanks to the pools, private beach, kids' club and spacious rooms, though the hilly, spread-out site means some walking.
