Hotel Indigo Phuket Patong is a contemporary hotel in the heart of Patong, the island's busiest resort town. It belongs to the IHG family of boutique-style hotels, which means a design that draws on the neighbourhood, with colour, local art and a social lobby. For many travellers, Patong is the practical base: it has the island's widest choice of restaurants, bars, massage shops, tour desks and shopping, and the beach is a short walk away. This hotel offers a quieter, more stylish option within that lively setting, with a pool for relaxing between outings and rooms that provide a calm retreat from the street. Because most tours and boat trips collect guests in Patong, the location makes early starts easy. It suits couples, solo travellers and groups of friends who want to be near the action without sleeping in the middle of it.
Location and getting around
Patong sits on the west coast, about an hour from the airport by road. The beach, Bangla Road and the Jungceylon shopping centre are all nearby, and metered taxis and ride-hailing cars are easy to find. Muay Thai shows, Simon Cabaret and the Phuket FantaSea area are all within a short ride. Most boat tours to Phang Nga Bay and Phi Phi collect from hotels in Patong, so no extra transport is needed.
The rooms and facilities
Expect modern rooms with air conditioning, a comfortable bed and a design that brings in local themes. The hotel has a swimming pool and restaurant, and the neighbourhood offers many more dining options on the doorstep. Check the room category for city or garden views and for the distance from nightlife noise, as Patong can be loud late at night.
Who it suits
Travellers who like to be in the middle of things and want a stylish alternative to the older resort hotels in Patong. It is practical for short stays, for people who plan to be out most of the day on tours and for visitors who like eating out. Families with young children may prefer a quieter beach such as Kata or Kamala.
Good to know
Patong is busy and noisy in the evenings, so ask for a higher floor or a room away from the street if you are a light sleeper. Beach conditions change with the season, with stronger waves between May and October. Tuk-tuk fares in Patong are fixed and often higher than metered taxis, so agree a price before you travel.
Practical tip
Patong rewards some planning. Eat early at the beachfront restaurants for the best tables, visit Bangla Road when you are ready for noise and crowds, and save quiet mornings for the beach before the sun gets strong. If you want a quieter evening, the nearby streets offer small Thai restaurants away from the main strip.
