History
On the Thu Bon River, a 5-minute walk from Hoi An Ancient Town's UNESCO-listed lantern-lit lanes.
The resort opened in spring 2004 as Life Resort Hoi An, a newly built 94-room, US$5 million riverfront property from the Dutch- and Austrian-backed Life Resorts group, and was later renamed Life Heritage Resort Hoi An. A six-month renovation stripped it back to its concrete shell before it reopened on 1 August 2008. Minor Hotels bought Life Resorts in 2013, and the hotel became Anantara Hoi An Resort that April.
The setting
6-minute walk to Hoi An Cathedral. 7 km from An Bang Beach.
