HOI AN, Vietnam, Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hotel Royal Hoi An – The Legacy By The River has been named Vietnam’s Leading Riverfront Hotel 2026 at the World Travel Awards 2026, recognising its distinctive sense of place, riverside setting and commitment to creating meaningful experiences for guests in one of Vietnam’s most cherished cultural destinations.
Set along the tranquil Thu Bon River in the heart of Hoi An, the hotel offers a refined retreat where the spirit of the destination naturally becomes part of the guest experience. Art-inspired interiors, thoughtful design and a deep connection to Hoi An’s cultural heritage create an atmosphere that feels both timeless and contemporary.
The hotel’s story is closely connected to the historic relationship between Vietnam and Japan, brought to life through the enduring love story of Vietnamese Princess Ngoc Hoa and Japanese merchant Sotaro Araki. This heritage-inspired narrative is reflected throughout the hotel, inviting guests to discover Hoi An through its history, art, architecture and distinctive sense of place.

The World Travel Awards celebrate excellence across the global travel and tourism industry. This recognition marks a meaningful milestone for Hotel Royal Hoi An as it continues its journey to offer thoughtful, memorable hospitality in Central Vietnam.
A Legacy By The River
Rather than simply reflecting its surroundings, the hotel invites guests to experience Hoi An in a more personal way — through its architecture, cuisine, riverside setting and warm, attentive service.
The hotel’s dining and lifestyle experiences offer different ways to connect with the destination. Royal Café provides a relaxed setting for coffee and light dining, while The Deck, the highest rooftop bar in Hoi An, offers sweeping views across the Thu Bon River and the historic town. At Wakaku Restaurant, Japanese cuisine and design echo the cultural connection at the heart of the hotel’s story.
