Best Hotels in Patong Beach
Patong Beach has more hotels than any other area in Phuket. Most are packed into a few busy streets behind a 3 km stretch of sand. I have visited or stayed in almost every hotel on this list over the past 30 years, and I update this page after each visit. These are the ones I recommend, ranked by guest feedback and my own experience.
If you want direct beach access, your best options are Amari Phuket (on its own cove) and La Flora Patong (right on the sand). For nightlife, The Kee Resort is 150 metres from Bangla Road. For luxury away from the crowds, Rosewood Phuket is in a different class. For families, Holiday Inn Resort has six pools and sits across the road from the beach. For budget, Holiday Inn Express is hard to beat for location and value.
Patong suits first-timers, party-goers, and travellers who want restaurants, shopping, and nightlife within walking distance. It is not the best choice for a quiet beach holiday. If you want peace and calm, look at Kata Beach hotels or Kamala Beach hotels instead. See my full Phuket hotel guide to compare all beaches before you book.

Insider Tips for Booking Hotels in Patong
The biggest mistake first-time visitors make is booking a hotel based on star rating alone. In Patong, location matters more than stars. A 4-star hotel across the road from the beach will give you a better experience than a 5-star hotel 2 km up a hillside with no shuttle.
If nightlife is important, stay within 500 metres of Bangla Road. You will want to walk back to your hotel after a night out. The Kee Resort, Hotel Indigo, DoubleTree by Hilton, and Hotel Clover are all in that zone. But if you are a light sleeper, avoid anything on or directly behind Bangla. The bass from the clubs carries far, especially on weekends.
The northern end of Patong Beach, near the Four Points by Sheraton and Novotel, is noticeably quieter than the centre. The sand is the same, the sea is often clearer, and there are fewer people. I always tell friends visiting for the first time to consider that end of the beach.
Booking a hotel that says “10-minute walk to the beach” can be misleading. Patong is hot and humid. A 10-minute walk in the midday sun with kids feels much longer than it sounds. If the beach is important to you, check the actual distance in metres, not walking time.
High season in Patong runs from November to April. Hotels fill up and rates go up significantly, especially around Christmas, New Year, and Chinese New Year. If you are flexible, late October and early November offer good weather with lower rates. The rain usually slows down by mid-October.
One more thing: tuk-tuks in Patong charge a flat rate, not by the metre. A ride from one end of Patong to the other will cost around 200 to 300 baht. Keep this in mind if your hotel is not within walking distance of where you want to be.
Patong Hotels Through the Years
The first time I drove into Patong in 1994, there were already a few big hotels, but most of the streets behind the beach were still low-rise guesthouses and small Thai restaurants. The Holiday Inn was already there, and so was Le Meridien down by Karon Noi. But the number of international brands you see today did not exist.
Through the late 1990s and early 2000s, Patong grew fast. The beach road filled up with mid-range hotels, and the streets behind it became a maze of guesthouses, tailors, and massage shops. The tsunami in December 2004 destroyed many beachfront buildings and changed the landscape overnight. I was 100 metres from the wave that day. The rebuilding that followed brought higher construction standards and a new wave of international hotel brands.
By 2010, most of the big names had arrived: Novotel, Hilton (as DoubleTree), Sheraton (as Four Points), and several Accor properties. The mid-2010s brought boutique hotels like Hotel Indigo and Burasari, and more recently, lifestyle brands like TRIBE and Movenpick Myth. Rosewood opened on Tri Trang Beach and raised the bar for luxury near Patong.
The COVID years (2020 to 2022) were devastating. Many smaller hotels closed permanently, and even some of the bigger ones went through ownership changes. Since reopening, the quality of hotels in Patong has actually improved. The ones that survived invested in renovations, and new openings like TRIBE are designed for a different kind of traveller than Patong used to attract.
Today, Patong has more than 300 hotels. The beach itself has not changed much. It is still 3 km of white sand with loungers, umbrellas, and massage ladies. What has changed is the range of hotels behind it. You can now find everything from a 500-baht hostel to a 50,000-baht villa, all within the same town.
