Tonino Lamborghini Partners Utopia Corporation to Bring the Legendary Italian Brand’s First Luxury Boutique Hotel to Phuket

Scheduled to welcome guests in 2023, Tonino Lamborghini Boutique Hotel Phuket will be a one-of-a-kind luxury resort nestled directly on the beachfront at Chalong Bay, on Phuket’s secluded southeast coast. Overlooking the azure Andaman Sea and exotic offshore islands, this spectacular low-rise retreat is the vision of Alexander Wong, founder of Alexander Wong Architects, whose original avant-garde style has won multiple global awards.

Guests will be welcomed into a world of international glitz, with a Glamour Lobby that features slatted rosewood LED screens to provide a dramatic first impression. Guests can stay in a striking collection of 39 suites and 7 villas, all of which are equipped with cutting-edge amenities and adorned with designer furnishings and abstract artworks. The Futura Suites and The Glamour Suites are conceived to be aesthetically exciting and provocative without sacrificing functionality.

Alexander Wong considers Phuket to be the “Miami of Asia”, due to its international allure and cultural appeal. Reflecting the spirit of South Beach, Tonino Lamborghini Boutique Hotel Phuket will feature its signature Red Pool, which will embrace the best elements of a chic Floridian beach club. The Miami restaurant is a multi-sensory feast for diners, with a contemporary menu and a colourful ceiling inspired by the French post-impressionist painter, Henri Rousseau. Guests can also stay in shape at the state-of-the-art Power Gym.

For travellers who want to experience the authentic heritage of Phuket, the Chalong Bay Rum Distillery is just moments from the hotel and offers tours and workshops, while Phuket’s Old Town, with its classic Sino-Portuguese architecture and lively markets, is a short drive away. Chalong Bay is also a popular spot for adrenaline-fueled water sports, such as kite-surfing.

After the opening of our branded hotels in Suzhou, Kunshan and Huangshi, the launch of a real estate project in China, and our latest residence project in Brazil, today I am proud to announce the partnership Utopia Corporation for the development of the Tonino Lamborghini Boutique Hotel Phuket, which represents another great milestone for the Tonino Lamborghini Company in the hospitality industry,” said Mr. Ferruccio Lamborghini, CEO & Vice President, Tonino Lamborghini Company.
