Patong is Phuket's busiest beach town, on the island's west coast, with a long bay of sand and a dense mix of restaurants, bars and shops. Along the beach road, street-food stalls and massage shops sit alongside the bars. Centro One Patong stands on Thanon Ratuthit, and Patong Beach is 550 m away.

The best-known street here is Bangla Road, 350 m from the hotel, where bars, clubs and night stalls keep the area lively into the evening. Jungceylon Shopping Center is 50 m away for shops and everyday needs, and Banzaan Fresh Market, 250 m away, is a night market with food stalls. Patong also has a Chinese temple, a mosque and churches close by. Kalim Beach, 2.1 km away, offers a second stretch of sand north of the town.

A typical day could begin with an early walk along the sand, continue with a swim in the hotel's pools and end the evening at Banzaan Fresh Market or on Bangla Road. Phuket FantaSea, a theme park with an evening cultural show, is a drive inland, so it makes a separate outing. Patong's streets stay busy in the evening, and an ATM is close by for everyday needs, so the area works well for a short stay.
