Patong is the busiest beach town on Phuket, with a wide bay of sand and a lively mix of hotels, restaurants and nightlife. Streets around the beach are busy with shops, bars and night markets, and the sea and the evening entertainment are close at hand for anyone staying here.

Patong Beach is the main beach here, and Bangla Road, the street of bars and clubs, is 1.3 km from the hotel. Karon Beach is the neighbouring bay, a quieter stretch of sand at 2.6 km, and Big Buddha Phuket, a large white Buddha statue on a hilltop, is 6.5 km away. Wat Chalong, one of the most revered Buddhist temples on the island, is 6.1 km from the hotel. The airport is 25.5 km away, and the hotel offers an airport transfer.

A good day can start on Patong Beach and continue on foot to the shops and the bars around Bangla Road. Later, the night markets close to the hotel are an easy walk back, and a trip to Big Buddha and Wat Chalong fits into a day out, with the rest of the afternoon left free for the beach or the pool at the hotel. The strip of shops and street food stalls along the beach road is busy well into the evening, so there is always something to see after dark.
