Patong is one of the best-known beach towns in Phuket, built around a long bay with restaurants, bars and a lively nightlife. The hotel is on Nanai Road in this area, so the sand, the evening markets and the shops are close at hand. The streets around it are full of markets, cafes and street-food stalls, and the activity continues well into the night. Patong has a wide choice of places to eat, drink and shop, and many visitors come for the beach and the evening atmosphere.

Bangla Road, the street of bars and clubs, is 900 m away, and Patong Beach is 1.1 km from the hotel. Jungceylon Shopping Center and Banzaan Fresh Market, an evening market, are both close by.
