Phuket, Thailand, August 28, 2023 / TRAVELINDEX / Accor has partnered with Amchase Phuket HP (Thailand) Ltd to launch the Handwritten Collection in Thailand. The Andaman Beach Hotel Phuket – Handwritten Collection is scheduled to open in the fourth quarter of 2023 and will redefine the guest experience at this iconic address.

The Andaman Beach Hotel Phuket – Handwritten Collection is located in close proximity to Patong Beach and offers 161 carefully designed guest rooms, each with a private balcony from which you can enjoy the natural beauty of the island.

With the hotel's rebranding, the first Handwritten Collection celebrates its premiere in Thailand, following the recent signing of the brand's first contract in Singapore. Dedicated to authentic hospitality and stylish design, the Andaman Beach Hotel Phuket – Handwritten Collection reflects the personality of its hosts and strives to create sincere and heartfelt encounters.

Guests are invited to experience an authentic journey where encounters reflect the warmth of the local community. At the heart of this mid-range hotel is an innovative culinary experience: the hotel's all-day dining restaurant has become a hub for gastronomic discovery. Separate restaurants offer pizza and Indian cuisine, while the bar provides a stylish yet relaxed setting for stimulating conversation.

For holistic relaxation, the spa offers treatments that reflect the character of the region and pamper both body and soul. This oasis of tranquility invites you to unwind and allows guests to recharge in a peaceful setting.

Nestled amidst lush vegetation, the swimming pool offers a tranquil setting for relaxation and sunbathing. The modern fitness center, equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, helps guests prioritize their well-being during their stay.

With growing anticipation for its opening in October 2023, the Andaman Beach Hotel Phuket – Handwritten Collection promises a refreshingly human experience – a genuine embrace, a warm welcome and the opportunity to make real connections.
