SINGAPORE – The Boathouse Phuket gets a new makeover as the hotel reopened its door on 1 November after a 5-month refurbishments. This latest addition to The Boutique Collection, The Boathouse is a secluded beach front hideaway on Kata Beach Phuket.
All 39 guestrooms and suites have been refurbished and instilled with modern, elegant-puristic atmosphere. The new look has integrated with the beachfront location and maritime theme, which is consistent with the brand.
Designed by the Singapore based interior architecture firm, LAANK, the fresh and breezy nautical theme decor makes the guests feel like relaxing on a yacht while traversing the ocean. The coastal chic and refreshing interior details such as ropes, a combination of wood, ocean blue and white hues are incorporated into the design to capture the freshness of the ocean and enhance its Baan Reua (meaning “boathouse” in Thai) character.
In the common areas, along the reception, blue corrugated wall features create an imagery of water reflection; the grey colour shades thorough the interiors provide a contemporary look.
