Xinlor House Phuket Old Town

Xinlor House is an outstanding independently operated boutique hotel in Phuket Old Town, housed in a meticulously restored Sino-Portuguese heritage building on Dibuk Road at the heart of Phuket’s most culturally and architecturally significant neighborhood. The building’s restored façade, with its arched colonnades, painted plasterwork, and Peranakan decorative details, is a showcase of the distinctive architectural tradition that defines the historic Phuket Baba Chinese community. The 17 rooms spread across four floors vary in size from compact 15-square-metre standard queens to spacious 48-square-metre suites, each featuring air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and private bathrooms. Selected rooms include private balconies or terraces with city views. The hotel’s position on Dibuk Road places guests within walking distance of the Sunday Walking Street Market — one of Thailand’s most vibrant night markets — the Thai Hua Museum, the Shrine of the Serene Light, and the streets of Phuket Town where the best local restaurants serve authentic southern Thai cuisine at very low prices. A coffee shop and roaster on the ground floor gives guests immediate access to excellent single-origin coffee. The hotel is 13 kilometres from Patong Beach and 12 kilometres from Phuket International Airport.
