Ideally located along the tranquil Hoai river, in the heart of the UNESCO-listed Hoi An Ancient Town, Hotel Royal Hoi An Danang is often described as a hidden gem amid a heritage destination. The hotel harmoniously blends Asian influences with classic French elegance, expressed throughout its architecture, interior design, and thoughtful spatial details.
The hotel features 187 elegantly appointed rooms and suites, housed within two distinct wings named after the legendary Vietnamese–Japanese love story of Sotaro, a Japanese merchant, and Princess Ngoc Hoa – Wakaku.
