A First-Hand Review of Grand Sunrise Palace Hoi An

A stylish boutique hotel where your stay becomes the highlight of the trip.

Why This Stay Feels Different

Hoi An is known for its lantern-lit streets, riverside walks, and historic old town.
Most travelers come here with a full sightseeing list — and end up exhausted by nightfall.

But Grand Sunrise Palace Hoi An offers a different kind of experience.

Rather than serving only as a place to sleep, this hotel turns the stay itself into part of the journey.
Colorful, playful, and thoughtfully designed, it’s a place where you slow down, recharge, and — without trying — feel like the main character of your trip.

For travelers who want comfort, style, and wellness without sacrificing location, this hotel strikes a rare balance.

Location｜Perfectly Positioned Between Old Town and the Beach

📍 Approximately 800m from Hoi An Ancient Town
📍 About 2 km from An Bang Beach

Grand Sunrise Palace Hoi An sits between Hoi An Old Town and the beach, making it easy to enjoy both — without being stuck in the busiest tourist zone.

The hotel offers complimentary bicycles, and this location is ideal for exploring Hoi An at a relaxed pace.

From here:

• Hoi An Ancient Town is just a short, easy bike ride away
• An Bang Beach is reachable within minutes
• Evenings remain quiet and residential

You can spend the day riding through town, stopping at cafés, markets, or the river — then return to a calm, comfortable base at night.

It’s a location that works especially well for travelers who prefer slow exploration over packed schedules.

First Impressions｜Elegant, Approachable, and Thoughtfully Designed

Arriving by Grab from Da Nang (around 50 minutes), the hotel immediately feels polished but not intimidating.

The white façade, gold accents, and modest scale create a sense of elegance — without the stiffness often found in large luxury resorts.

Inside, the atmosphere softens:

• Warm lighting
• Clean marble floors
• Subtle tropical details

The check-in process is relaxed, with welcome drinks served while staff handle everything seamlessly.

Guest Rooms｜Designed for Slowing Down

Opening the door to the room, the first reaction is simple: “This is charming.”

Key features:

• Spacious layout (approx. 35㎡)
• Large bathtub positioned near the entrance
• Soft colors and playful decorative details
• Comfortable bed and seating area

The open layout between the bathtub and bedroom may feel unexpected at first, especially for travelers used to more traditional hotel room designs.

In practice, however, it enhances the sense of escape — a subtle reminder that this stay is meant to feel different from everyday life.

It’s a room designed not just for sleeping, but for lingering.

Design & Atmosphere｜A Blend of Cultures That Feels Surprisingly Natural

One of the most memorable aspects of this hotel is its design language.

You’ll notice:

• Vietnamese elements
• French colonial influences
• Subtle Asian motifs

Individually, these elements might clash.
Here, they don’t.

Instead, they reflect Hoi An itself — a town shaped by centuries of cultural exchange.
The result feels layered, intentional, and quietly expressive.

Wellness & Facilities｜Where the Hotel Truly Shines

Spa, Pool, Gym & Sauna — All in One Stay

The lower floors of the hotel house what we ended up calling the “wellness floor.”

The spa itself is beautifully lit with lanterns and offers couple-friendly packages — making it especially appealing for honeymooners or relaxed couples.

Facilities include:

• Full-service spa
• Nail salon
• Gym
• Steam sauna, aroma steam & jacuzzi (free for guests)

This setup makes it easy to build a slow, restorative routine.

Pools｜Two Distinct Moods, One Hotel

The ground-floor pool is shaded and calm — ideal for reading or quiet relaxation.

The rooftop pool, by contrast, is sunlit and lively, with a bar and happy hour events running during the day.

Depending on your mood, you can choose serenity or social energy — without leaving the hotel.

Breakfast｜Wellness Starts in the Morning

Breakfast is served in a bright, airy space overlooking greenery and the pool.

Highlights include:

• Fresh tropical fruit (with chocolate fountain)
• Made-to-order eggs
• Vietnamese noodle dishes
• Large salad selection
• Detox drinks & herbal infusions
• Coffee made by on-site baristas

The emphasis on fresh, nourishing options makes breakfast feel like part of the wellness experience, not just a routine meal.

Pricing｜Excellent Value for a 5-Star Experience

We stayed in a Deluxe Double Room during the rainy season (November).

💰 Approx. USD $45–50 per night (with breakfast)

Prices vary significantly by season:

• Rainy season: excellent value
• Dry season / holidays: prices can double

Final Thoughts｜A Hotel That Lets You Feel Like Yourself Again

Grand Sunrise Palace Hoi An isn’t just a base for sightseeing.

It’s a place where:

• You slow down
• You feel taken care of
• You reconnect with yourself during travel

For travelers who want a stylish, wellness-focused stay without sacrificing access to Hoi An’s highlights, this hotel is an easy recommendation.

Sometimes, the best part of a trip isn’t what you see —
but how well you feel while you’re there.
