The Memory at On On Hotel in Phuket Town
The Memory at On On Hotel is a historic hotel in the heart of Phuket Town. The original On On Hotel dates back to the 1920s and was one of the oldest guesthouses on the island. It appeared in the film “The Beach” in 1999, which brought it brief international fame.
The hotel was renovated and reopened as The Memory at On On, keeping much of the original facade and architecture while updating the rooms to modern standards. The building sits on Phang Nga Road, one of the most photogenic streets in the old town, surrounded by restored Sino-Portuguese shophouses, cafes, and galleries.
Rooms are simple and clean, with a boutique feel that fits the character of the building. It is not a luxury hotel, but the location and the history make it a memorable place to stay. The old town’s best restaurants, street art, and the Sunday Walking Street Market are all within walking distance.
The Memory at On On is a good pick for travellers who want to experience Phuket beyond the beaches. For the full guide, see The Memory at On On Hotel.
