I Pavilion Hotel Phuket stands on Satoon Road in Phuket Town, the provincial capital of Phuket, where the old town's Sino-Portuguese shophouses sit close to ordinary neighbourhood streets. The old town's architecture reflects the island's tin-mining and trading past. The area feels more like a working town than a resort, a different pace from the beaches on the west coast.

Phuket Old Town is about 600 m away, with Thalang Road as its main street of heritage buildings, and the Phuket Thai Hua Museum is close by. Further out, Chaithararam Temple (Wat Chalong) is 7.1 km away and is one of the island's most important Buddhist temples, while Patong Beach, the best-known beach on the west coast, is 9.8 km away.

Phuket International Airport (HKT) is 26.2 km away, and the Phuket Town Local Bus Station is close to the hotel too. A taxi service and car hire are available at the hotel, so a taxi or car makes trips to Patong and the Big Buddha on its hilltop simpler. Walking around the old town is one of the easiest ways to see the island's history. For a day out, begin in the old town's streets and museums, then drive to Wat Chalong in the afternoon.
