Hoi An’s ancient allure, a UNESCO World Heritage site, now faces a new chapter with the arrival of a global hospitality giant. The NHAAN Resort & Spa Hoi An, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, opened its doors at the start of August, promising a unique blend of luxury and local spirit.
Nestled along the Co Co river within Cam Thanh village, famed for its distinctive basket boat rides, the 174-key property aims for seamless integration. Vietnamese architect Vo Trong Nghia crafted a biophilic design, intending an open-air sanctuary that truly merges with its lush surroundings, offering a tranquil escape.
Alexander Shockley, from Hilton’s lifestyle and collection brands in Asia Pacific, confirmed the brand’s ethos. He said Tapestry Collection hotels are “woven with an original, vibrant story shaped by its locale.” NHAAN Resort, he noted, “brings the soul of Hoi An to life in a way that feels fresh, authentic, and distinctly its own,” marking the brand’s Vietnam debut.
Guests can expect a range of room categories, including some with direct pool access, designed for immediate refreshment. The much-anticipated eforea spa & health club, opening later this month, sits on the hotel rooftop, offering expansive views over the tranquil waterscape. This comprehensive wellness hub also includes a 24-hour gym, an outdoor infinity pool, and a dedicated yoga deck.
Culinary journeys also root themselves firmly in the local landscape and its rich flavours. Plait Restaurant offers locally caught seafood, expertly prepared over an open Korean grill, while Keng Restaurants serves Vietnamese specialities throughout the day. The Bong Lounge, with a design inspired by Kim Bong Carpentry Village’s 500-year craft legacy, crafts unique coconut cocktails.
For those preferring poolside indulgence, the Nipa Pool Bar provides light bites and refreshing drinks under the sun. Beyond the resort, Hoi An Ancient Town is a mere 10-minute drive, with the hotel arranging cultural workshops in pottery-throwing, woodcarving, and lantern-making for deeper local immersion. The resort positions itself as a gateway to authentic Vietnamese experiences, marrying comfort with heritage.
