Hotel Royal Hoi An
Riverside luxury
On the banks of the Thu Bon River, the Hotel Royal Hoi An blends modernity and touches of Hoi An’s history to create a unique charm.
119 rooms and four suites take stylistic inspiration from Art Nouveau, Japanese and Vietnamese cultures. All are at least 40 square metres (431 square feet), with full size bathtubs, rain showers and views out across the river or Hoi An skyline. Many have a private balcony.
There are two dining options – the Faifo Cafe which serves creative Asian and European flavours made from fresh Vietnamese produce, and Wa Ka Ku, a sushi restaurant inspired by the marriage between a Japanese merchant and a Vietnamese princess.

Places to combine Hotel Royal Hoi An with
Phuket
Tucked away on the fringes of Khao Sok National Park, one of Thailand’s most ancient and biodiverse rainforests, Thanyamundra Organic Resort offers an intimate sanctuary with nine guestrooms. The setting is mesmerising: a patchwork of cultivated organic farmland gently gives way to dense jungle, while mist drifts across rolling emerald hills in the early morning.
Two teakwood residences, built in traditional Thai style, house the guest rooms. Within, antique furnishings add a sense of heritage and handwoven textiles bring warmth and colour.
Begin with yoga at dawn or a leisurely walk among rice paddies and vegetable gardens, before setting out to discover the wonders of the rainforest. Back at the resort, the infinity pool seemingly spills into the surrounding hills. From here, the horizon becomes a living panorama of forest, farmland and sky, shifting in colour as the day passes from morning to the glow of sunset. The spa provides another form of retreat, where traditional Thai treatments restore balance after a day outdoors.
Food is at the heart of the Thanyamundra experience. The resort’s organic farm supplies the kitchen with fragrant herbs, just-picked vegetables, tropical fruit and locally produced cheese. Meals, whether enjoyed in the open-sided pavilion or al fresco under the stars, are thoughtfully prepared to highlight the freshest seasonal ingredients.
