The Imperial  Boat House
..........................................................................................................................

The Imperial Boat House Hotel, Samui, offers a unique blend of delightful illusion and funfilled reality. Thirty-four authentic teak rice barges, imaginatively converted into one and two-storey luxury boat suites, and 'moored' on land just metres from picturesque Choeng Mon.
Imagine being lulled to sleep by the lapping of waves and the murmur of sea breezes in the luxurious stateroom of the boat... and then awaking to find you're still on terra firma. The second part of the hotel comprises of eight southern style low-rise buildings, forming three sides of the square around landscaped gardens full of fragrant tropical flowers. All 182 spacious, airy rooms have private balconies overlooking the gardens and sea.
