Patong is one of Phuket's best-known resort towns, with a long sandy beach lined with hotels, restaurants and beach bars. Once evening comes, the streets fill with bars, shops and street-food stalls, and the whole area keeps a lively, busy character centred on the sea and the night-time scene.

Patong Beach is 350 m from the hotel, and Bangla Road, the nightlife street with its bars and clubs, is 1 km away. Jungceylon Shopping Center, a large mall, is 1.1 km away, and Kalim Beach is a smaller stretch of sand nearby. The streets around the hotel also have spas and tailors, including Orientala Spa and Mister Singh Fashion Gallery Tailor. Karon Beach, another long sandy beach, lies further along the island. Patong is on Phuket island, so the airport and the other beaches are reached by road.

A good day could start with a swim at Patong Beach, continue with shopping at Jungceylon and end on Bangla Road in the evening. Banzaan Fresh Market, which opens at night, is another place to eat and shop. For a change of scene, Freedom Beach is a secluded cove 4 km away, and the Big Buddha Phuket, a large statue on a hilltop, is 8.4 km away.
