Hoi An, Vietnam, 7 August 2026 – Anantara Hoi An Resort has completed its most ambitious renovation project since opening in 2013, introducing a significant transformation of its accommodation, leisure facilities and dining experiences while strengthening its connection to Hoi An’s distinctive riverside setting.

The extensive enhancement programme focuses on three key areas: newly redesigned riverside suites, an upgraded tropical pool sanctuary and a refreshed culinary and entertainment concept at Art Space Restaurant & Bar. Together, the improvements are designed to provide guests with a more personalised, comfortable and immersive resort experience while celebrating the cultural character of Hoi An.

New Riverside Suites Blend Heritage and Contemporary Luxury

A key highlight of the renovation is the introduction of eight new Thu Bon River Suites, alongside the complete refurbishment of ten Premium River Suites. The resort has also transformed its signature accommodation category into the new Anantara Two-Bedroom River Suite.

The redesigned suite collection caters to a range of travellers, from couples seeking intimate riverside escapes to families and groups looking for more spacious accommodation and privacy.

All 19 suites feature a design inspired by Hoi An’s cultural identity, combining French colonial influences with traditional Asian design elements. Spacious split-level layouts, private balconies or terraces and views overlooking the Thu Bon River create a stronger connection between the accommodation and the destination.

The enhanced suites also introduce a range of personalised benefits. Guests receive dedicated room host support, as well as in-suite check-in and check-out services designed to provide a more seamless arrival and departure.

Wellness has also been incorporated into the upgraded suite experience. Each guest staying in the renovated suites receives one complimentary 60-minute spa treatment per stay, together with access to the private steam room at Anantara Spa.

Additional benefits include dedicated host support, luxury beach bags, bath salts, premium tea selections and a welcome bottle of wine. Guests staying in the Two-Bedroom River Suite and Garden Suite categories can also opt for private wine fridge rental.

Riverside Pool Transformed Into Tropical Sanctuary

The renovation extends beyond the accommodation with a complete redesign of the resort’s pool area.

The new pool sanctuary combines elegant cabanas, oversized loungers and landscaped gardens with views of the Thu Bon River. The redesigned space provides guests with a tranquil setting for swimming, relaxation and socialising throughout the day.

Art Space Restaurant & Bar Introduces New Concept

Art Space Restaurant & Bar has also received a significant transformation, introducing a new concept inspired by tropical surroundings and creative expression.

The refreshed venue features a redesigned terrace, a sit-up bar and a dedicated performance stage for live music and entertainment. The culinary offering has been expanded with signature cocktails, tapas-style dishes and freshly prepared pizzas cooked in a wood-fired oven.

The restaurant continues to showcase original artwork by local and international artists based in Vietnam, combining dining, culture and creativity in one setting.

Guests can choose between the air-conditioned indoor space and the open-air terrace while enjoying the resort’s riverside surroundings.

Ross Sanders, Area General Manager for Vietnam, said: “This is the most exciting evolution of the resort since opening more than a decade ago. From the introduction of our new Thu Bon River Suites and the transformation of our pool area to the complete reimagining of Art Space Restaurant & Bar, every enhancement has been designed to celebrate Hoi An’s rich heritage and deep connection to the Thu Bon River. We are creating even more opportunities for guests to relax, connect and experience the destination in a truly meaningful way.”

Anantara Hoi An Resort continues to offer its Deluxe Balcony Rooms and Deluxe Garden Suites, alongside additional dining venues, Anantara Spa and four dedicated meeting spaces for business events and private gatherings.

With its newly enhanced suites, redesigned pool sanctuary and refreshed dining concept, Anantara Hoi An Resort enters a new chapter of luxury hospitality, bringing together heritage-inspired design, contemporary comfort and its distinctive riverside setting in Hoi An.
