Hoi An lies roughly halfway along Vietnam’s 3,300-kilometer coastline, close to Da Nang. In recent years it has become a popular destination for several reasons. Not only is the old town a UNESCO World Heritage Site, but there are charming beaches and untouched countryside close by. The influx of tourists has led to the creation of some amazing hotels in Hoi An. All of which can make it rather hard to decide where to stay. So, if you’re struggling to know Where to Stay in Hoi An, check out our recommendations below.
Old Town
The Old Town is where many visitors like to base themselves. Achingly beautiful, many of its streets date back to the 1400s. Recognized as one of the best-preserved trading ports from the period, it mixes local and foreign influences. What’s more, it means you’re within striking distance of various tours, such as our Insider Hoi An City Tour. Alternatively, you might want to take to the city’s waterways with our Boat Tour and Cooking Class.
Almanity Hoi An Wellness Resort
A modern take on classic colonial design, Almanity Hoi An Wellness Resort has neutral rooms finished in rich hardwoods. As relaxing inside as it is out, facilities include a full-service spa. A good-sized gym provides space for exercise, while a large outdoor pool edged with stout palms just begs to be used. Tranquil gardens provide an alternative place to relax alongside a restaurant specializing in fusion cuisine. To get out and about, the hotel provides rental bicycles too. However, if all this sounds too much like hard work, there’s also a complimentary beach shuttle.

Zest Villas & Spa
The four-star Zest Villas & Spa is eclectically finished. Bare brickwork, polished woods, stone floors, decorative tiles, and the brushed aluminum all vie for attention.

Laluna Hoi An Riverside Hotel
The structures lining the riverside which form Laluna Hoi An Riverside Hotel may look a little northern European to some. However, the welcome guests receive is clearly Vietnamese. You might plan to explore far and wide with tours of Hoi An, or enjoy a more relaxed escape. Either way, it’s difficult to argue against the shared spaces and outdoor pool that can be found at Laluna.

Coastal Beaches
Just ten minutes by road from the Old Town, the city’s coastal beaches make for a great alternative stay. You’re still within easy reach of all the sights and delicious food offerings of the city. But you also have the relaxing ambiance of tropical beaches to wake to each morning.
Four Seasons Resort, The Nam Hai
As you might expect from this stalwart of a hotel brand, Four Seasons Resort, The Nam Hai is luxury defined. Located on Ha My Beach, it has one of the finest positions of any Hoi An hotel. But in addition to this, it also has private patios all the better for enjoying this coastal site. Not only is there a private beach, but three outdoor pools to choose between.

Da Nang and Further Afield
It’s more than likely you’ll find your way to the neighboring city of Da Nang. Not only does it have sights aplenty, but also the nearest airport to Hoi An. This makes it really easy to get from Hanoi to Hoi An, for instance. This, of course, is not the only reason to stay in Da Nang or further afield from Hoi An. The hotel options here give their own tempting reasons as we’ll see.
Fusion Maia Da Nang
Stylishly contemporary, Fusion Maia Da Nang has a single-story bungalow-style that mirrors this hotel’s laid-back charms seamlessly. It lies just a stone’s throw from the beach on the outskirts of Da Nang. What’s more, Fusion is an all-villa resort. Each one has its own private plunge pool and garden. And rates are inclusive of spa treatments and breakfasts. So, if you don’t mind being slightly further from Hoi An, this could be the hotel for you.

Allamanda Estate Hoi An
At Allamanda Estate Hoi An the boundaries between inside and out are subtle. Guests are therefore able to enjoy a supreme feeling of space and airiness. But the rooms and facilities are by no means rustic. Its series of thatched cottages face in towards one of two small outdoor pools, and there’s plenty of lawn too. But be quick, Allamanda has only 11 rooms.
