Best Business Hotels in Phuket

The Renaissance Phuket Resort & Spa is a solid luxury option for couples and families wanting direct access to Mai Khao Beach and a fast drive from Phuket International Airport. This is a smaller property, though it has over 200 guest rooms, so service is personalized and a golf cart isn't required to get around. Still, that can make for crowds in the restaurants and, though the pools are glamorous, they're on the cozier side. Restaurants get rave reviews, especially the evening barbecue near the beach. Deluxe Rooms are bright and spacious, with peek-a-boo marble bathrooms and fun extras like ramen in the mini-bar and furnished balconies. The hotel also has expansive event space for weddings and conferences.

The Westin Siray Bay Resort & Spa Phuket is a solid, five-pearl option for those who want to be away from the noise and crowds of Phuket. The 257-room luxury chain resort conveniently offers a relaxing spa, three outdoors pools, a gym with New Balance shoe rentals, upscale restaurants and bars, and a shuttle to Phuket Town. Rooms, suites, and villas are clean and beautifully decorated; some have panoramic views of Siray Bay. Downsides include long drives to tourist areas and Patong Beach, shallow pools, and a charge for Wi-Fi in the rooms. This property is popular with business travelers for a reason. It has a business center with four Mac computers, a printer, and amplespace for conferences and meetings. Five meeting rooms with audiovisual equipment are available to rent. Wi-Fi is free in the public areas. 

The 418-room upscale Millennium Resort Patong Phuket is a city hotel that is part of the 200-shop Jungceylon shopping mall. The hotel, located in the heart of busy Patong, is super contemporary but has a chain feel, like a Marriott or Hilton, without much of a Thai vibe. The location makes the Millennium great for business travelers and nightlife-loving tourists. There are two lovely pools with poolside bars. Rooms are spacious and clean, with modern bathrooms and private balconies. The Millennium has meeting and banquet facilities, with wedding services available.

This Moevenpick Resort location, part of a global chain, is a huge upscale property set in extensive tropical gardens overlooking Phuket's beautiful Karon Beach. Facilities are plentiful and include four pools, four restaurants, a spa, and plenty of activities to keep the kids amused. A breakfast buffet is included in the room rate. Most rooms and villas have balconies with sea views, though, while generally well-maintained, some units are starting to show signs of wear. The resort also has a large ballroom space that can hold between 800 and 1,260 guests depending on its configuration, with individual meeting facilities available as well.

The 180-room Swissotel Resort Phuket provides low rates for a three-and-a-half pearl family-friendly vacation that’s a quick walk to Kamala Beach. The hotel has a large pool with a slide, a fully-equipped kids’ club, bike rentals, buffet dining, and a swim-up pool bar. One-, two-, and three-bedroom suites feature kitchenettes, living rooms, and balconies or terraces. However, inconsistent cleanliness in some rooms and lack of an elevator are deal breakers for some guests. Eight meeting rooms are available, fitting 10 to 150 people. The Kamala I, II, and III can be combined to create a ballroom. Audiovisual equipment is available. The business center offers a PC computer. Wi-Fi is free throughout the property.
