Best Luxury Hotels In Hoi An

Meaning “peaceful meeting place” in Sino-Vietnamese, this coastal city was once a prolific port with a strong textile industry, as evidenced by the series of canals weaving inland. It’s still a mainstay of tailoring services, with many coming here to have bespoke suits and clothing made to measure. There’s much visual contrast to be enjoyed as you wander the streets and lanes of Hoi An; Chinese wooden shophouses and temples mingle with French colonial buildings, Vietnamese tube houses and a famed Japanese Covered Bridge with its pagoda. Be sure to catch a water puppet show and taste some authentic local dishes while you’re in town too.
