Destination Patong stands in Patong, the lively beach town on Phuket where the sand, the bars and the night markets sit close together. The beach is a broad bay with restaurants and beach bars along its edge, and the streets behind it fill up in the evening with street-food stalls and massage shops. The hotel appeals to travellers who want the sea nearby and a busy evening scene.

Bangla Road, Patong's best-known nightlife street, is 1.1 km from the hotel, and the Jungceylon Shopping Center, a large mall, is 1.2 km away. Freedom Beach is a smaller, quieter beach nearby, and Karon Beach is a longer stretch of sand further along the coast. Wat Chalong, one of the island's most revered temples, is a good deal further away, while Phuket International Airport is 25.1 km away and the hotel offers an airport transfer, car hire and a shuttle service.

A good day can start with a swim at Patong Beach and a walk through Jungceylon Shopping Center, then an evening on Bangla Road. For a change of scene, Freedom Beach and Karon Beach offer different stretches of sand, and the Big Buddha Phuket, a large hilltop statue, makes a good half-day trip from the town.
