Emm Hotel Hoi An  

In the heart of Hoi An's Ancient Town, minutes from the 15th-century UNESCO Old Quarter and the palm-fringed Cua Dai and An Bang beaches. This 4-star hotel sits within private gardens and offers complimentary bicycles plus beach privileges at a nearby sister resort.

French-colonial and Vietnamese-inspired architecture meets a funky twist of color. Rooms are air-conditioned and modern, with private balconies, minibars, flat-screen TVs, and private bathrooms with tubs or showers and complimentary toiletries.

Soak in the outdoor pool framed by gardens, relax on the terrace, or grab a drink at the poolside bar and bar/lounge. Complimentary wireless internet access and concierge services keep things easy, while comfortable public spaces invite slow afternoons after exploring the town.

A compact business center, 24-hour front desk, dry-cleaning/laundry services and free self-parking make short stays and work trips straightforward.

The on-site restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, with room service available during limited hours. Contemporary food-and-drink outlets provide approachable meals that suit both explorers and slow-weekend loungers.
