"Hotel Royal Hoi An’s architecture and design take inspiration from the story of a Japanese merchant and a Vietnamese aristocrat who met and fell in love in Hoi An, a major trade hub, in the late 1600s. This riverside luxury hotel, fittingly, is divided into two wings: one is Japanese in style, with rich dark wood, glowing lanterns, and the city’s highest pool bar, and the other, with lavish drapery and an Art Nouveau-inspired swimming pool, is more traditionally Vietnamese." - Tablet Hotels
