Hat Yai is a busy commercial city in Songkhla province in southern Thailand, and the hotel stands in its Hat Yai Central area. The streets here mix shops, markets and older temples, and the local food culture draws on Thai, Chinese and Malay influences. It is a good base for travellers who want an urban stay in the south rather than a beach resort.

Santisuk Market, a traditional market, is 150 m away, and the Guanyin temple, a Buddhist shrine dedicated to the goddess of mercy, is 250 m away. Wat Hat Yai Nai, a Buddhist temple, is 1.9 km away, and the Magic Eye 3D Museum, with its 3D illusion art, is 2 km away. The railway station is a short walk from the hotel, and Hat Yai International Airport is 11.5 km away, so flights are the usual way to arrive from farther afield.

A day could start with a walk in Hat Yai Municipal Park and continue to the Asean Night Bazaar Hatyai in the evening. Back at the hotel, a massage or a session in the steam room is a simple way to end the day, and the railway station and the markets close by mean that most of the day's plans can start from the hotel.
