What is Lantana Riverside Hoi An Boutique Hotel & Spa?

Overview and Key Features

While the current official name is Lantana Boutique Hoi An Hotel, the property was formerly branded as Lantana Hoi An Boutique Hotel & Spa. It is a 4-star boutique property set directly on the bank of the Hoai River, at 9 Thoai Ngoc Hau Street. The hotel’s official site describes its location as peaceful but “just outside the hustle and bustle” yet “very close to all amenities of Hoi An Ancient Town.”

The hotel opened in 2014 and underwent a full renovation in 2023. It has 34 rooms, with standard check-in after 14:00 and check-out before 12:00.

Amenities and Services

According to the hotel’s official website and multiple booking platforms, amenities include a fitness center, free WiFi throughout, free parking, a heated pool, and a restaurant serving local and international cuisine. The hotel also offers an airport shuttle service to Da Nang International Airport, which is approximately 23.9 km away (Agoda).

What is the address of the Lantana Boutique Hoi An Hotel?

Exact Location

The address is consistently listed as 9 Thoai Ngoc Hau Street, Cam Pho Ward, Hoi An, Quang Nam Province, Vietnam, postal code 560000. The hotel sits on the bank of the Hoai River, the same river that winds through the Ancient Town.

Proximity to Hoi An Ancient Town

The official website states a 1-minute walk (approximately 0.1 km) to the Ancient Town. Kayak lists the distance to the city center as 0.7 km (Kayak provides city-center distance for comparison). TripAdvisor reviewers describe reaching the UNESCO-listed Old Town via a pleasant riverside walk of about 5 minutes. What this means: the hotel is effectively on the edge of the Ancient Town — close enough to be convenient, but set back enough to avoid the noise.

What are the best boutique hotels in Hội An, Vietnam?

This section compares Lantana Boutique Hoi An Hotel with three other well-rated boutique properties. All four are located within Hoi An and appeal to travelers seeking a central, culturally immersed stay.

Little Hoi An . A Boutique Hotel & Spa

Located at 02 Thoai Ngoc Hau, directly on the Hoai River waterfront at Song Hoai Square, this property is arguably Lantana’s closest neighbor (Lonely Travelog review; TripAdvisor). It opened in 2012 and was renovated in 2022, with 30 rooms. Trip.com guest reviews rate it 9.6/10 overall, with location and service both scoring 9.8. The hotel provides shuttle buses for trips to the beach. The trade-off: Little Hoi An is slightly pricier (US$55–99 vs. US$42–78) but offers a spa and a higher Trip.com guest rating.

Amina Lantana Hoi An Hotel & Spa

Amina Lantana lists its main address as 97 Nguyen Duy Hieu, roughly a 5-minute drive from central points like the Japanese Covered Bridge and Hoi An Central Market (Amina Lantana official site; Trip.com). It has 87 rooms — significantly larger than Lantana (34 rooms) and Little Hoi An (30 rooms). TripAdvisor shows a rating of approximately 4.0/5. Guest reviews describe the location as slightly outside the Old Town, with guests noting that taxis are cheap or that bicycles can be hired. What to watch: Amina Lantana is the better choice if you want larger rooms and easier beach access (2.9 km to An Bang Beach), but it does not offer the same walk-to-Old-Town convenience as Lantana or Little Hoi An.

Hoi An Historic Hotel

This hotel is located within the Ancient Town itself. Research notes do not provide detailed pricing, room count, or ratings. It is listed here as a reference point for travelers specifically seeking accommodation inside the historic district.

“The location is superb — right on the riverfront and just a few steps from the Ancient Town.”

The bottom line: “The location is superb — right on the riverfront and just a few steps from the Ancient Town.”

How many days do I need in Hoi An?

Suggested Stay Duration

Hoi An’s Ancient Town is compact. Most travelers find that 2 to 3 days is sufficient to explore the Old Town’s key sites — the Japanese Covered Bridge, assembly halls, and the night market — plus take a cooking class or a boat ride on the Hoai River. Because Lantana Boutique Hoi An Hotel is a 1-minute walk from the Ancient Town, a shorter stay of even a single overnight can be productive for those limited on time. The bottom line: if you are staying at a riverside hotel like Lantana or Little Hoi An, you can comfortably see the Old Town’s highlights in 2 full days.

Itinerary Considerations

If you plan to visit nearby attractions such as the My Son Sanctuary (about 1 hour by car) or An Bang Beach (20 minutes by taxi), add at least one extra day. The central location of Lantana makes it a convenient base for both Ancient Town exploration and day trips.

Where in Vietnam is Hoi An?

Geographic Context

Hoi An is located in Quang Nam Province, on the central coast of Vietnam. It sits on the banks of the Thu Bon River near the South China Sea, approximately 30 km south of Da Nang. The city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, known for its exceptionally well-preserved Ancient Town.

Nearest Airport and Transport

The nearest airport is Da Nang International Airport (DAD), about 30 km north of Hoi An. Travel time by taxi or private car is roughly 45 minutes to 1 hour. Agoda reports the distance from Lantana Boutique Hoi An Hotel to Da Nang International Airport as 23.9 km. What this means: you can fly into Da Nang and be at Lantana’s check-in desk within an hour of landing.

Pros and Cons of Lantana Boutique Hoi An Hotel

What works well

• Walkability: Verified as a 1-minute walk (0.1 km) from the Ancient Town, per the hotel’s official site.
• Guest satisfaction: Consistently high ratings across platforms: 4.9/5 on TripAdvisor (~3,119 reviews), 8.9 on Booking.com, 9.4/10 “Exceptional” on Expedia.
• Value: Starting rates around US$42–78 per night are competitive for a property with a heated pool, free parking, and free WiFi in this location.
• Recent renovation: The 2023 renovation means the property’s infrastructure — bathrooms, furniture, HVAC — is relatively modern.

Where it falls short

• Room count: With only 34 rooms, availability can be limited during peak season (primarily October–April).
• On-site dining: While the hotel has a restaurant, the immediate area around Thoai Ngoc Hau Street has fewer dining options than the Ancient Town itself. You will likely walk into town for most meals.
• Price range: At US$42–78, it sits in a middle tier — slightly more than bare-budget options but notably less than the US$55–99 of Little Hoi An. For some travelers, this may not feel like a significant price advantage if they prefer a spa.

“A truly exceptional hotel. The staff went above and beyond, and the location cannot be beaten.”

Best for which travelers?

Alternatives in the same set

Beyond the three properties already compared, Hoi An has numerous other boutique hotels. However, the three hotels on or near Thoai Ngoc Hau Street — Lantana, Little Hoi An, and Amina Lantana — form the tightest cluster of similarly rated, riverfront boutique properties in the city. If none of these suit your needs, consider looking at properties within the Ancient Town itself (such as Hoi An Historic Hotel) or beachfront options in An Bang.
