Phuket in particular is one of South-East Asia’s premier leisure destinations, and Hyatt’s expanding resort portfolio is key to creating preference among our guests.
"Hyatt Place Phuket, Patong will be the company’s first Hyatt Place resort hotel in South-East Asia, and it is a privilege to work with such an experienced and dynamic owner as the Boutique Group."
Hyatt Place Phuket, Patong will feature 161 guestrooms with balconies, a swimming pool, a fitness centre, a restaurant and bar, a business centre, and more than 2,400ft² of flexible, high-tech meeting/function space.
Upon opening, Hyatt Place Phuket, Patong will join three existing Hyatt-branded hotels already in operation in Thailand.
