Hotel Features

The Azumi is quite small, but it has a large number of features not commonly found in the small hotels of Hoi An. The centerpiece of the hotel is the beautiful infinity pool that overlooks the neighbouring rice fields, it’s long enough to do a few laps and has a pool bar and wooden deck fake area set-up with sunloungers and umbrellas for shade. The hotels lobby is cleverly designed to take in the best views and is large enough to double up as a business center and the hotels restaurant. From here they serve excellent buffet breakfasts and Vietnamese and international cuisine for lunch and dinner. Perhaps even better is the hotels appreciation for guests looking for a more private dining experience - the full restaurant menu is available to order via the in-room smart TV’s and guests are given the option to to take breakfast, lunch or dinner in a location of their choice, be it on their terrace balcony.

Finally, the resort makes up for its slightly out of the old town location by providing free bicycles for guests to use throughout the day.
