Lee Hotel sits on Sriwichai Road in Makhamtia, in the Muang district of Surat Thani, a provincial town that is the usual gateway to Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Koh Tao. The area is a working town of shophouses, temples and markets rather than a resort strip, and the pace is that of a Thai provincial town. Daily life here runs along the town's main roads and around its markets, and the hotel is a straightforward base for seeing the town on foot or by local transport.

Wat Phothawat, a Buddhist temple 1.3 km away, is one of the sights in the area, and the Surat Thani Night Market, 1.4 km away, is the place for evening food stalls and local goods. Central Plaza Surat Thani, a shopping mall, is also nearby, and Suratthani Hospital is 300 m away. Surat Thani Railway Station is 9 km from the hotel and the airport 18.5 km.

A day could start at Wat Phothawat, continue to the Central Plaza mall and end at the night market. Surat Thani is also the usual starting point for ferries to Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Koh Tao, and a ferry terminal for Koh Tao is in the area. Koh Lamphu Public Park and the City Pillar Shrine are also in the area, a short way from the hotel.
