What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
This riverside luxury hotel, fittingly, is divided into two wings: one is Japanese in style, with rich dark wood, glowing lanterns...
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Hop on a complimentary bicycle or stroll ten minutes along the riverbank to reach Hoi An's historic Japanese Covered Bridge.
The rooms
Four-poster beds, silk brocade cushions, and freestanding tubs outfit the quarters, which look out toward the river or town.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
An ornate mosaic pool sits in the courtyard, and a second pool looks out over the Thu Bon River from the roof.

Woosah Spa offers traditional Vietnamese massages and holistic therapies, with on-site steam rooms and saunas.
The Deck Bar
Hoi An's highest rooftop bar pours craft cocktails from a circular counter overlooking the Thu Bon River.
