A beachfront resort of 100 private villas on Ha My Beach, inspired by traditional Vietnamese architecture, with a cooking academy and an award-winning spa.

Good to know
Hoi An Historic Hotel is one of the longest-running hotels in town. It has welcomed guests since 1991 and stands on the former site of a French colonial administrative building at 10 Tran Hung Dao Street, just steps from the lantern-lit streets of the Ancient Town. It is a 4-star hotel and a member of Hoi An Tourist JSC.
With 150 rooms and suites, it is larger than most hotels in the old town area, and it has the facilities of a resort hotel. There is a spacious outdoor swimming pool and a children's play area, which makes it a practical choice for families who want to walk into the old town but also need somewhere to cool off in the afternoon.
Dining options include The Oaks Terrace, Indochine Corner and the Western Bar. The garden has long been a meeting place: a 2018 food guide in Olive magazine highlighted the shaded garden café, where local people stop for iced coffee and tea on their way to work. The White Lotus Spa and Beauty Salon covers massages and beauty treatments.
The location is the main strength. From Tran Hung Dao Street the heritage sites, the market and the riverside are all within walking distance, and Allegro Hoi An and other hotels on the same street show how popular this edge of the old town is as a base. Cua Dai Beach is a short drive away for a day by the sea.
The hotel's long history and central position make it a reliable mid-range to upper-mid-range option. It suits families, groups and travellers who want a full-service hotel with a pool without travelling out of town each day. The Hoi An Center for the Conservation of World Cultural Heritage is at 10B Tran Hung Dao on the same street, a reminder of how close the hotel is to the heart of the heritage area.
Book directly through the hotel's website or by phone, and ask for a room facing the pool or garden if you want a quieter outlook. If you plan to spend most of your time in the old town, the hotel's position means you can go back for a swim or a rest in the middle of the day and head out again in the evening.
