The Harbour Front Hotel is in the City Center area of Surat Thani, a provincial town in southern Thailand that serves as a gateway for travellers heading to the islands. The streets around Chonkasem Road are busy with markets, shops and small parks, and the Tapee River viewpoint is close to the hotel.

The nearest sight is the Surat Thani City Pillar Shrine, 650 m from the hotel, and the Surat Thani Night Market, 1.6 km away, is a lively place to eat and shop in the evening. Wat Phothawas, a Buddhist temple, and Koh Lamphu Public Park are also reached by road, and Central Plaza Surat Thani, a large shopping centre, lies further out.

Surat Thani Airport is 20 km away, and the railway station is 11.3 km away, so the hotel is a practical stop for onward travel by train. For a day out, Wat Phra Borommathat Chaiya Worawihan in the district of Chaiya is a well-known temple worth the trip, and the ferry terminal 350 m away is the departure point for boats to the islands. Start a day at the City Pillar Shrine, then visit the Tapee River viewpoint and the night market in the evening.
