Metropole Hotel Phuket

The Metropole Hotel Phuket is one of the largest and most popular business hotels which is located in Phuket City. This well known 4 star Phuket business hotel offers 248 well appointed guest rooms and very spacious luxury suites to travelers and tourists. Most business travelers that visit this Thai island on business do end up staying at a hotel in Phuket Town as this is where most businesses and offices are situated. The two largest and best Phuket Town business hotels are the Metropole Hotel Phuket and the Royal Phuket City Hotel and business travelers visit Phuket Island generally stay at one of these two hotels in Phuket City.

The Metropole Hotel Phuket was built some time ago but the building, facilities and the accommodation is still very much up to date and in outstanding shape. The style in which the Phuket Metropole hotel is designed and they was it is furnished is very typical of what business travelers will encounter in 4 star business hotels throughout Thailand. The style is rather modern however you can still see strong Thai influences in some of the art work, color schemes and furnishings. The Metropole Hotel Phuket Town prides itself on offering the Thai hospitality as its finest so that business travelers and tourists alike can have wonderful and very stress free stay at this Phuket City business hotel.

Whenever one of my friends or relatives is in need for a hotel in the capital city of Phuket Island then I always recommend the Metropole Hotel Phuket highly. The location of this business hotel is ideal as it is situated only moments away from the Phuket central bus station and various major shopping venues. Secondly the Metropole Hotel Phuket offers a wide range of facilities to travelers and tourists and this is not the case with some of the other hotels in Phuket Town.

But the two main target markets for the Metropole Hotel Phuket are groups and business travelers. There are outstanding meeting and function rooms which is why this hotel is a popular venue for the MICE travel segment. Many groups on package holiday also often end up staying at one of the hotels in Phuket City and many such groups stay at the Phuket Metropole hotel.

If you would like to organize a large event or reception such as a wedding reception then I would highly recommend for you to contact the management of the Metropole Hotel Phuket. The location and facilities at this hotel are outstanding and considerably less expensive then what you would pay at one of the beach side resorts of Phuket.

Metropole Hotel Phuket Location

The Metropole Hotel Phuket is located right in the center of Phuket Town. Robinson Plaza is located right around the corner as is a large market where visitors can purchase a wide range of local products and goods. What is also important is that the main bus station of Phuket is located only a brief distance from the Metropole Hotel Phuket.

Although Phuket City, also known as Phuket Town, is the largest city on Phuket Island, this Phuket destination does not attract a great number of travelers and tourists that will actually spend the night there. Many travelers and tourists will end up staying at a resort in Kata or Patong for example and will perhaps spend one day during their vacation visiting the various Phuket Town attractions and shopping venues. This is really a shame as Phuket Town has so many interesting places to visit and some of the best restaurants on the island are in fact located in Phuket City. If you are planning to visit many different locations on the island then it could be a great idea to stay at the Metropole Hotel Phuket as you can easily reach all areas of Phuket from Phuket town.

Metropole Hotel Phuket Rooms and Suites

The Metropole Hotel Phuket is one of the largest hotels in this part of Phuket as it has 248 spacious guest rooms and well appointed suites. You can’t really compare the hotels in Phuket Town with hotels in the Phuket beach areas as the Phuket town hotels tend be some somewhat older and target business travelers. Don’t expect anything to modern or fancy and this even includes at the Metropole Hotel Phuket as even though the rooms and suites are in excellent shape, the design and feel of the accommodation feels somewhat dated. I would however like to point out that all the guest rooms and suites come equipped with the type of facilities and amenities which business travelers require and expect from a business hotel during their travels.

There are a variety of different room types available at the Metropole Hotel Phuket from which travelers and tourists can select and they include for example deluxe rooms, superior rooms, junior suites, executive suites and even a presidential suite for those of you that enjoy traveling in style. Please note that some of the rooms even offer a view of the sea so if you would like one then please request so at the time of reservation.

Metropole Hotel Phuket Facilities

The Metropole Hotel Phuket is one of only a handful of hotels in Phuket Town which offer the type of facilities which both tourists and business travelers are looking for during their trip. Not only is there an outstanding outdoor swimming pool but there is even a great outdoor kids swimming pool. So if you require a hotel in Phuket Town and you are traveling with your kids then I would definitely suggest for you to book accommodation at the Metropole Hotel Phuket City.

Business travelers and event organizers will also be more then pleased at the Metropole Hotel Phuket as this Phuket business hotel offers a very wide range of excellent business facilities. Not only are there several state of the art meeting and function rooms but there is also a superb business center.

If you enjoy getting a massage then be sure to visit the excellent traditional Thai massage parlor or stay in shape at the modern fitness center of the Phuket Metropole hotel.

However I am pretty certain that you will not get bored during your stay at the Metropole Phuket hotel as there are plenty of things to do in Phuket Town and the surrounding areas. There are for example several beautiful temples in town as well as numerous shopping venues and even the popular Phuket Zoo.

One of the great things about staying at a large hotel is that there generally are multiple restaurants and bars.
