2 weeks ago | thehoteljournal.com | Michael Cullen

Hoi An is one of Vietnam’s most enchanting towns. A place where history, culture, and charm converge in a way few destinations can match. Once a thriving 16th-century trading port, its UNESCO-listed Old Town is a beautifully preserved maze of lantern-lit streets, ochre-hued shophouses, and ornate assembly halls shaped by Vietnamese, Chinese, and Japanese influences. We recently stayed at Anantara Hoi An Resort, a property that mirrors the city’s Asian and French colonial architecture.

Across the Perfume River, remnants of another era endure—the tree-lined boulevards and stately villas of Hue’s French Quarter.
