Sino Imperial Phuket Hotel is on Phuket Road in Phuket Town, the island's main town and its administrative centre. The old town here has historic shophouses, museums and temples, and a different pace from the beach areas on the west coast. It is a base for travellers who want town streets rather than a beach setting, with the beaches further away.

The Museum Phuket is 100 m from the hotel, and the Thavorn Phuket Museum is close by. The Lard Yai Sunday Night Market, a night market held on Sundays in the old town, is 300 m away. Wat Khao Rang Samakkhitham stands on a hill above the town, and the Phuket Trickeye Museum, a trick-art museum with 3D paintings, is 150 m from the hotel. The town centre is small enough to explore on foot between museums, temples and the market. Chaithararam Temple (Wat Chalong) is one of the island's most revered temples and lies further out from the centre.

Phuket International Airport is 27.1 km from the hotel, and an airport transfer is offered. A day can begin with the museums and temples of the old town, then continue to Patong Beach on the west coast, 10.6 km away, where the nightlife and water sports are concentrated. Many of the island's attractions are a drive away, so the choice of a town base depends on how you plan to spend your days.
