Where to Stay in Hoi An: Best Hotels, Areas & Tips | Vietnam Purple Travel Guide

Regardless if you are traveling to Hoi An for the monthly Lantern Festival, or at another time, you are likely coming to explore the ancient downtown area, and see the breathtaking spectacle of light and color. While the Lantern Festival is the monthly highlight, there are still lots of lanterns and river boat tours available on other days.
To fully immerse yourself in the enchantment, select accommodation adjacent to the Hoi An Ancient Town. Our preference is An Hoi Island, which is located directly south of Hoi An's Ancient Town, separated by the Thu Bon River and easily accessible via several bridges. An Hoi Island is also a preferred locations as it hosts the lively night market, and has lots of modern and higher-class accommodation.

Here you can find the accommodations that are available when you visit:

Our top pick: Bel Marina Hoi An Resort - Your Perfect Base for the Festival
