AccorHotels manages first five-star hotel in Hoi An

Hotel Royal Hoi An, MGallery by Sofitel, invested by Hoi An Royal Group and managed by AccorHotels was unveiled last week in the ancient town of Hoi An in the central coast province of Quang Nam.
This is the first five-star hotel to be managed and operated by AccorHotels in Hoi An and also the first and only MGallery property in the locality. The hotel is located next to the UNESCO World Heritage town of Hoi An and bordered by the tranquil Thu Bon River.
It has 120 rooms classified into five categories: deluxe, grand deluxe, royal deluxe, deluxe suite and presidential suite. Other facilities and services include an Art-Nouveau poolside restaurant, Japanese restaurant Wakaku, Woosah spa, meeting rooms and a limousine service.
With a combination of Indochinese and Japanese architecture, the hotel’s design was inspired from the rich heritage of Hoi An and the love story between Sotaro Araki, a merchant from Nagasaki and Princess Ngoc Hoa, a member of Nguyen royal family in Hue whose Japanese name was Wakaku, living in the late 16th and early 17th century.
On the occasion, the investor announced a design for the second phase of the hotel to have further development for guests’ accommodations and F&B services. It is expected that the groundbreaking ceremony for the second phase will take place by the year-end.
MGallery by Sofitel is a collection of historic luxury hotels, many of which have hosted historic figures or iconic poets and authors. Others are modern design hotels, utterly unique in the cities they inhabit. In Viet Nam, there are five MGallery by Sofitel hotels, including Hotel Royal Hoi An, La Residence Hue, Hotel de L’opera Hanoi, La Veranda Phu Quoc and Hotel des Arts Saigon.
