The Slate is every bit a design-led hotel whose sheets you’ll want to get between. It’s glam, with a seriously smooth range of facilities, and tucked away well down Phuket’s road less travelled. Renowned American architect Bill Bensley worked the decor relentlessly to bring in the industrial overtones of the island’s tin mining past, which has created a sultry and sensual boutique bolthole.
We really rate The Slate. It achieves the seemingly impossible: something for everyone. It has a super set-up for families and is ideal for couples looking for a hip resort retreat, whilst delicately juggling excellent value with quality service.
The spacious D-Buk and Pearl Bed Suites, surrounding the family pool and close to the Underground Cafe and Tin Mine restaurants, are ideal for those travelling with children.
The hotel is separated from the beach by a narrow road. It’s a two-minute walk from the gates to the arc of sand and the plethora of restaurants.
