In 2000, Mr. Nguyen Van Tien arrived in Hoi An to begin a new journey. At first, it was only meant to be a stop along the way, yet over time, this peaceful land quietly became the place that kept him here.
From those deep impressions, Little Hoi An was born as a heartfelt tribute to the land that had become his second home.
For Little Hoi An, local culture is not only a source of inspiration, but also the guiding spirit behind every step of its development. From architecture and space to cuisine and service, Little Hoi An seeks to preserve the local soul and the gentle, peaceful beauty of Hoi An in every guest experience.
For Little Hoi An, a hotel is not simply a place to stay, but a place to feel the soul of the land one passes through.
Hoi An is more than a place on the map, it is where people, waters and cultures converge; where human connection, flowing rivers and heritage meet, and where every sense of peace comes together.
Once one of Southeast Asia’s most vibrant trading ports, Faifo welcomed boats from Japan, China and the West, carrying goods, cultures and meaningful encounters across the river. Through the centuries, Faifo has preserved the quiet beauty of the ancient town its moss-covered rooftops, the gentle Hoai River and the enduring harmony between people, commerce and heritage.
Beginning in 2012 with Little Hoi An Hotel & Spa the first boutique hotel by the Hoai River the journey introduced a new concept to Hoi An tourism: a small hotel, yet one filled with a big spirit.
From that foundation, Little Hoian Group gradually evolved into a complete boutique hospitality ecosystem, defined by distinctive architecture, 5-star personalized service and experiences deeply imbued with Vietnamese culture.
Over more than a decade, the Group has grown into a collection of beloved and acclaimed brands: Little Riverside, Allegro Hoi An, Little Oasis, Little Residence and Little Faifo Restaurant.
Each destination is a “heritage home”, where guests can feel the harmony between tradition and modernity, between luxury and simplicity, between sophistication and sincerity.
