World Travel Awards 2026
TRIBE Phuket Patong named Thailand’s Leading Design Hotel
A celebration of bold design, social spaces and a stay that does things differently.
Bold interiors and social spaces are at the heart of the TRIBE Phuket Patong experience.
The big news
A big win for bold design
We’ve got something worth celebrating. TRIBE Phuket Patong has been named Thailand’s Leading Design Hotel at the World Travel Awards 2026.
For us, design is more than how a hotel looks. It’s how a space makes you feel. It’s the colours that wake you up, the artwork that makes you stop and look, the details that spark a conversation and the social spaces that make it easy to meet, eat, relax and play.
Located in the heart of Patong, TRIBE Phuket Patong brings a fresh, design-led take on the hotel experience. From the moment you arrive, the property is built around bold visual moments, playful details and spaces designed for modern travellers who want more from their stay.
Dining, drinks and social energy come together in true TRIBE style.
Our style
Design with a little attitude
TRIBE is all about breaking away from the expected. Our interiors mix strong colours, graphic patterns, statement artwork and unexpected details to create a hotel that feels energetic, social and unmistakably TRIBE.
Every corner is designed to be experienced, not simply passed through. Whether you’re settling into a social space, grabbing a drink, enjoying a meal or finding your favourite photo spot, the design is part of the experience.
The lifestyle
Where design meets the TRIBE lifestyle
The award is a reflection of the experience we aim to create every day: vibrant, contemporary and a little unexpected. Our spaces are made for travellers who want to connect with the destination while still having a place that feels distinctly their own.
From our guestrooms and playful public areas to the food and drink experiences at Maska Indian Eatery, 3 Uncles & A Barman and Shades Pool Bar, the TRIBE identity runs through the entire stay.
