Seabed Grand Hotel Phuket is in Phuket Town, the island's administrative centre, where the old town's Sino-Portuguese shophouses and busy market streets are close at hand. The area feels like a working town rather than a resort strip, with markets, temples and museums around it, and street food stalls operate in the streets nearby, giving it a local feel.

Chaloem Phrakiat Park, a large public park, lies 900 m away, and Wat Nakaram, a Buddhist temple, is also nearby. Aquaria Phuket, an aquarium, is 1.8 km away. Chaithararam Temple, better known as Wat Chalong, is 4.5 km away in the south of the island, and Patong Beach, the island's best-known beach resort area, is 8.3 km away. Phuket International Airport is 27.4 km away.

A day could start with a walk through the old town and its shophouses, followed by the museums nearby, such as Baan Chinpracha, a Sino-Portuguese house, and then a drive south to Wat Chalong, one of the island's best-known temples. Getting around the island is easiest by road, since the main beaches and temples are several kilometres apart. The Phuket Weekend Night Market is also nearby, so the evening can be spent in the town itself.
