IHG Hotels & Resorts has signed a management agreement with Phuket HA 2 Co. for voco Phuket Patong, further expanding the premium brand’s presence in Thailand.
Scheduled to open in 2028, the 307-room property will form part of the mixed-use Abov Patong development in Phuket, which will include hotels, branded residences and lifestyle facilities such as a clubhouse, theatre, swimming pools and Kids Club.
Located on the hillside of Patong and approximately 150m from the beach, voco Phuket Patong will offer ocean views and access to nearby entertainment, shopping and dining areas. Facilities at the hotel are expected to include a restaurant, two bars, spa, swimming pool and fitness centre.
The signing adds to the rapid growth of the voco brand in Thailand following its debut in Bangkok last year. Additional voco properties are also in development across Bangkok and Phuket.
IHG said the agreement also strengthens its broader presence in Phuket, where the group currently operates or has signed seven hotels across brands including InterContinental, Vignette Collection, Hotel Indigo, Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express.
“Phuket experienced its most successful high season in five years in 2025, surpassing pre-Covid benchmarks,” said Pathana Jitsaereetham, director, development, Thailand, IHG. “This resurgence highlights Phuket’s enduring charm as an island destination.”
Wuthikrai Kulsirisawad, CEO, Phuket HA 2 Co., said: “With its distinctive brand identity, I am confident that (voco Phuket Patong) will stand out from the crowd and be a valuable addition to the mixed-used development… I look forward to building a strong long-term partnership with the team as we introduce local and international travellers to experience the very best that Patong has to offer.”
