Hat Yai is a busy commercial city in Songkhla province, close to the Malaysian border, and The Lantern Hatyai Hotel is in the Hat Yai Central area. The area is a working city rather than a beach town, and shops, markets and temples are the main sights close to the hotel.

Hat Yai Railway Station is 400 m from the hotel and Kim Yong Market is 700 m away, a market for everyday shopping. The Asean Night Bazaar Hatyai, 1.7 km away, is a night market with food and shopping in the evening. Wat Hat Yai Nai, a Buddhist temple, is 1.8 km away, and the Magic Eye 3D Museum, with its 3D artworks, is a short distance further on. The hotel's taxi service can help with trips to Hat Yai International Airport, which is 11.2 km away.

A good first stop is Hat Yai Municipal Park, a green space for a walk, and the evening can end at the Asean Night Bazaar Hatyai. Wat Hat Yai Nai can be paired with a visit to the Magic Eye 3D Museum, both within a few kilometres of the hotel, and the night bazaar makes a natural end to a day of sightseeing around the city.
