15 Best Hotels in Patong Beach – Where to Stay in Patong?

Where to Stay in Patong Beach?

Patong Beach hotels come at many prices, sizes and locations so finding the hotel that will please both your budget and your need for the best place can be tricky. Many readers ask for our suggestions, but there is no such thing as ‘One Patong hotel fits all’. Everyone on average is looking for the same things.

Please recommend a hotel in Patong Beach:

• right on the beach
• close to nightlife
• and it must be a quiet
• and romantic hotel
• Oh, and it must be cheap!

Sorry to be the one to bring the bad news but that hotel doesn’t exist. However some hotels can come quite close, but these won’t come cheap unless you come during the low season. To help you pick the right hotel in Patong beach, remember that the price of the hotel decreases with the distance from the beach and the centre. Patong consists of 4 roads parallel to the beach. The further back from the beach you stay, the cheaper the accommodation gets.

Once again, we stayed or personally visited all the hotels listed here, and we would recommend them to our friends

Hotels close to the beach, but not as close to Bangla:

2. Amari Phuket

Amari Phuket is one of those rare resorts in Phuket having a unique location on Patong Beach. Blessed with its small sandy cove and a unique view on the entire bay, all the rooms at Amari Phuket are facing the sea! This four-star resort is at the southern end on Patong, just past the large bridge. It is quite a large hotel and despite a slightly dated architecture, the renovated design, two large pools and one of the most romantic restaurants in Patong, makes Amari Coral Beach a long time winner.

3. Holiday Inn Phuket

Holiday Inn Phuket is a success story since a very long time, and their team makes sure it stays this way. Many might not associate the brand ‘Holiday Inn’ with ‘Luxury Island Resort‘, so you might be in for a surprise. The location is excellent if you want to get the best of both faces of Patong: the beach and the city with its shopping and famous nightlife. And yet once in the resort, it is surprisingly quiet. But it takes more than an excellent location to get it right: many resorts along the beach road don’t get that popular. Read more…

Novotel Phuket Resort at the northern end of Patong Beach offers sea views not many hotels in Patong can afford. Designed with typical Thai roofs over a grand lobby with palm trees and greenery everywhere around three huge cascading pools, the resort is a small Thai oasis in a frantic town. You can choose to laze around the swimming-pools or walk down to the beach just across the road. This part of the beach is less crowded and often more beautiful than in other regions, and you can enjoy beach activities or beach massage. Read more…

Not well known from most tourists, it happens to have the most beautiful sand and most amazing blue sea on the island, and it is not far Patong Beach.

With no less than 470 rooms, Le Meridien might be one of the first and largest resorts open in Phuket, but it has not lost its charm and never feels overwhelmingly big. The hotel features some excellent restaurants such as Ariake (Japanese), Portofino (Italian), Wang Warin (Thai) and several great beachfront dining; we even come here to treat visiting guests. The spa deserves a special mention, and the fitness room is one of the largest we’ve seen in Phuket. Read more

 Centrally located and still close to the Beach

Burasari features a Thai restaurant called Kantok, a bar (Misty Bar) and most important a pool bar. The hotel also has a spa with a lot of fancy treatments (which resort doesn’t have a spa in Phuket nowadays). The hotel rooms are of the right size, well designed and with balconies. The swimming pool area is very popular with a lot of greenery but what made the success of the Burasari is the staff kindness and efficiency. Read more

Then there are tons of other hotels worth checking, but we didn’t personally stay in these hotels, but we inspected them and reviews are very positive.

13. Sleep with Me

Sleep with me is a well-priced hotel in an excellent strategic location if you want to be close to the nightlife, the shopping, not too far from the beach AND you don’t want to pay a fortune for it. Simple but with a young modern design Sleep With Me is a name that you won’t forget. We always wonder how much it contributed to the success of the hotel. One of the nice features is the rooftop bar and swimming pool. They are not large, but it’s a nice place to hang at the end of the day. Read more…
