Location

Phuket Town is the gateway to tropical islands like Koh Phi Phi, Koh Yao Yai & Koh Yao Noi, and Railay Beach in Krabi. Novotel Phuket City Phokeethra is only 10 minutes by taxi or ride share to Rassada Pier. It makes for an ideal base, pre- and post-island hopping. Right next door lies Phuket’s Old Town, a treasure trove of colorful Sino-Portuguese shophouses, vibrant street art, and bustling night markets. By day, you can sip coffee in chic cafés and browse quirky boutiques; by night, soak up the lively atmosphere at rooftop bars, food stalls, and waterfront restaurants. All just steps from our front door. Phuket International Airport is just over 30 km to the north of the hotel; be sure to allow an hour’s travel due to the road conditions in Phuket.

Style & Design

Novotel Phuket City Phokeethra has a masculine vibe in its decor. The design fuses modern international hotel, rich woods, sleek marble, and gold accents with subtle Thai influences. Think minimalist lines with polished stone finishes. The lobby is airy, with high ceilings and ambient lighting. The Thai-inspired motifs incorporate geometric patterns and muted gold tones. Throughout the hotel, the local artwork and sculptures are examples of Phuket’s Sino-Portuguese heritage.

Facilities

The third floor of the hotel houses the pool, gym, and spa. The pool is mid-sized with partial sea views and comfortable loungers. The terrace around the pool gets some sun, but the pool itself is under cover to keep things cooler. There’s a separate kids' pool nearby, allowing the adults to swim and lounge in peace. The InBalance Fitness Center is open 24/7 and has the latest cutting-edge gym equipment. For those of you who enjoy some pampering, the Leticia Spa offers massages, herb compresses, and manicures for singles and couples. The Estrela Rooftop Bar & Restaurant on the 18th floor is a major draw, often cited as one of the best places in town for sunset cocktails. The views over the Andaman Sea are breathtaking. It opens at 4.30 pm, so get there early to secure your best sunset viewing spot. Cocktail lovers, ask for a signature drink like the Love Story or Ong Lai Spicy. Estrela Rooftop Bar & Restaurant is also a dinner restaurant open until midnight. Special nights for gay include Gentleman’s Night every Thursday, where selected whiskies are buy one get one free. Staying on a Friday, it’s Pride Night with 199 baht drink specials. Amor Restaurant on the ground floor opens from 6.30 am until 10 pm and serves traditional Thai food based on recipes that have been passed down through generations. Guests missing food from back home will find a selection of soups, salads, steaks, and pasta. Choose from a la carte or buffet. Enjoy a sophisticated afternoon tea at Lua Lobby Bar. Imagine a mix of French pastries and local Thai specialties. You could have a macaron in one bite, a savory chicken satay next, followed by Thai mango mousse.
