Book Anantara Hoi An Resort with VIP Benefits

The Deluxe Balcony Room is the starting category, with a published size of 36 square meters and queen or twin beds. Garden-facing balconies run along the building's facade, with daybeds for sitting outside. Indoors, the split-level living area separates the lounge from the sleeping space without dividing the room into enclosed compartments. It is a practical layout for guests who want a sitting area as well as a bed.

Deluxe Garden Suites are listed at 42 square meters, with king or twin beds and views into the courtyard garden. A balcony or terrace holds two daybeds, and interconnecting accommodation is available in this category. The extra space is useful for spending part of the day in the room. These remain open-plan suites; the category name does not imply a separate bedroom and living room.

Original photography by Rehahn appears in the accommodation, adding a recognizable connection to Vietnam alongside the timber details and natural tones. Espresso machines and indoor seating make the rooms usable between excursions, while the outdoor spaces keep the garden or river within view.

Premium River Suites retain the 42-square-meter published size but turn the outlook toward the Thu Bon. They have king or twin beds, indoor living space and private outdoor seating overlooking the river. The main difference from a garden suite is the relationship to the water, rather than a larger footprint. Boats and the opposite bank become part of the view from the accommodation.

The Thu Bon River Suite moves up to a published 58 square meters, with king or twin beds and indoor and outdoor living areas beside the river. Its marble bathroom has a separate rain shower and freestanding bathtub. This category adds bathroom space and a more generous living arrangement as well as the riverside setting. It is distinct from the smaller Premium River Suite.

The Anantara Garden Suite has a separate living room, a king bed and a private corner balcony overlooking the grounds. Listed at 84 square meters, it offers a more divided layout than the open-plan garden categories. A swing chair gives the balcony another place to sit, while the bathroom includes dual vanities, a separate rain shower and a soaking tub.

At the same published size of 84 square meters, the Anantara Two Bedroom River Suite changes the arrangement again. Two en-suite bedrooms have king beds, with shared living space and a corner balcony facing the Thu Bon. The hotel lists a maximum of four adults for this category. The two bedrooms give friends or families separate sleeping space alongside a shared living area.

Hoi An Riverside is the resort's signature Vietnamese restaurant. Its waterfront terrace faces the Thu Bon, and an air-conditioned dining room provides an indoor alternative. The menu includes Vietnamese specialties and Hoi An dishes, with preparations such as beef marinated in local five spices. The choice between terrace and dining room matters as much as the menu on a warm evening.

Lanterns gives breakfast its own river-facing setting. The open, airy restaurant serves a buffet with French-style pastries, tropical fruit, and hot and cold dishes drawn from Asian and Western cooking. Vietnamese coffee is part of the offering, including the iced version with condensed milk.

Art Space takes a more informal approach, combining a restaurant and bar with original work by local and international artists based in Vietnam. Wood-fired pizzas sit alongside creative international dishes. There is air-conditioned seating and an outdoor terrace, with cocktails, wine, locally crafted beer and coffee. It provides a different meal from the Vietnamese cooking at Hoi An Riverside without requiring a trip into town.

Reflections Pool Bar serves light bites by the water, while in-room dining allows a meal on a quieter evening indoors. Designer Dining by Anantara is a separate private experience in a riverside pavilion.

Anantara Spa has four individual treatment rooms and a double treatment room with a sunken bath, plus a separate relaxation room. The menu includes scrubs, facials and massage, with a Traditional Vietnamese Herbal Experience using a warm herbal compress. The double room allows two guests to have treatments together.

The temperature-controlled swimming pool sits in a planted courtyard, with a children's pool also available. That garden setting gives swimming a different outlook from the riverside terraces. The glass-walled gym looks onto greenery and includes treadmills and bikes. Technogym workout videos are available through the Minor Hotels app, a separate option from using the equipment in the fitness room.

Spice Spoons by Anantara connects the resort's cooking classes with market visits and Vietnamese recipes. Guests prepare dishes step by step and eat what they have made for lunch. Lantern-making classes offer another way to engage with a craft associated with the town, focusing on the construction of the lantern itself. Both activities bring local subjects into time spent at the hotel.

The resort also offers river cruises and bicycles for exploring Hoi An and the surrounding countryside. Cycling routes can pass rice paddies on the way to An Bang Beach, extending an outing beyond the historic streets. For a walk into the Ancient Town, the riverside promenade leads past cafes toward its galleries, shrines and teahouses.
