Patong is one of Phuket's best-known beach towns, and Alexander Hotel Patong is about 850 m from Patong Beach, in streets that stay busy well into the evening. The town's main beach is a long sweep of sand, and the streets behind it are lined with hotels, restaurants and shops. Shopping, markets and nightlife sit close together here, so an evening out is never far away.

Bangla Road, the town's nightlife street, is 600 m away, and Jungceylon Shopping Center is 300 m from the hotel. The Banzaan Fresh Market (Night) is a night market close by, and its stalls are busy after dark. Big Buddha Phuket, a large seated white Buddha on a hilltop, is 7.3 km away, and Phuket International Airport is 24.4 km from the hotel.

A day could begin on Patong Beach and continue to Chaithararam Temple (Wat Chalong), one of the most important Buddhist temples on the island, or to the Big Buddha. Kata Beach and Karon Beach are both a drive away, and they offer a calmer stretch of sand than Patong. Phuket FantaSea, a large cultural show park, is also a drive away, and the day can end back on Bangla Road after dark.
