Old yellow-walled town houses light up at night with lanterns of every color. Hoi An, a port town whose old quarter is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the most romantic places in Vietnam. The town is small, and it's only about a 15-minute drive from the old quarter to the sea. That's exactly why the tone of your trip shifts depending on whether you go for the atmosphere of the old quarter, a beach resort, or a riverside or countryside hideaway in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this article, we sort Hoi An's hotels into three areas. For each, we first lay out the options in a quick-reference table, then cover the standout hotels one by one. Every place featured was chosen after checking its rating and operating status on Google Maps, one at a time (star counts are as of July 2026). We don't include booking-site links. Using only the map pins, find the one that fits your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The star of sightseeing in Hoi An is, above all, the UNESCO World Heritage old town. The Japanese Covered Bridge, old townhouses, tailors, and lantern shops line the river, and a nighttime lantern stroll is the town's top highlight. Stay in the old town or within walking distance and you can enjoy the quiet streets on foot in the early morning and evening, once the day-trippers have gone. It's the perfect area for people who want to get around mainly on foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A luxury resort right next to the Old Town, spreading along the banks of the Thu Bon River. Its calm colonial-style buildings and river-view gardens are the draw. Since the Old Town is within walking distance, you can enjoy Hoi An just as it's meant to be \u2014 walking the streets by day and strolling among the lanterns by night. You get both the town's atmosphere and the comfort of a resort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A long-established hotel with a pool in the heart of the Old Town. Steadily rated at \u26054.5 with over 2,600 reviews, its biggest draw is a location within walking distance of everything. It's chosen by those who want to squeeze the most out of their sightseeing time and those who want to stroll the quiet Old Town morning and night.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHotel<\/th> Type<\/th> Google Maps rating<\/th><\/tr><\/thead> Anantara Hoi An Resort<\/a><\/td> Luxury (riverside, within walking distance of the Old Town)<\/td> \u26054.7 \u00b7 1,263 reviews<\/td><\/tr> Hoi An Historic Hotel<\/a><\/td> Mid to upper range (old quarter, pool)<\/td> \u26054.5\u30fb2,605 reviews<\/td><\/tr> De An Hotel<\/a><\/td> Mid-range (about 1.6 km to the Old Town)<\/td> \u26054.9 \u00b7 1,195 reviews<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n Anantara Hoi An Resort \u2014 an upscale resort along the Thu Bon River, within walking distance of the old town<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
