Blending business and heritage in Renaissance Hoi An

Positioned strategically along the tranquil coastline of Cua Dai Beach and within close proximity to the UNESCO-recognised Hoi An, Renaissance Hoi An Resort & Spa is entering this competitive space with a differentiated model - one that blends upscale hospitality standards with a strong emphasis on place-based identity and long-term value.

The resort is the first in Hoi An under Marriott International’s Renaissance brand and aims to differentiate itself through a lifestyle-driven hospitality concept. Rather than focusing solely on leisure travellers, the property targets corporate groups looking for high-standard meeting facilities embedded in local experiences.

Offering 193 guestrooms and suites as well as 25 private villas with 3-5 bedrooms and individual swimming pools, the resort is equipped to host a wide range of group configurations, from intimate executive gatherings to multi-day corporate retreats and celebratory incentive trips.

These accommodations are complemented by extensive on-site amenities including the region’s largest infinity pool, a spa and wellness area, a fully equipped fitness centre, a vibrant children’s zone, and two full-sized tennis courts. Such facilities add value not only to leisure guests, but also to delegates and organisers looking for a comprehensive destination where work-life balance can be seamlessly integrated.

Central to Renaissance Hoi An’s offering is its event infrastructure, which meets the technical and spatial needs of modern event planners. The 476-square-metre Grand Ballroom, with its high ceiling and flexible layout, can accommodate up to 400 guests in theatre-style seating and be divided into two smaller ballrooms as required.

Additionally, three fully equipped meeting rooms, with sizes ranging 60-153sq.m, provide further options for workshops, breakout sessions, private discussions, or thematic training sessions. Outdoor venues, including a spacious lawn with direct sea views, offer further possibilities for receptions, cultural showcases, or wellness-based networking activities.

Sustainability is also embedded across the resort’s operations, particularly within its event services. In line with Marriott International’s global environmental goals, Renaissance Hoi An adopts a low-impact approach to event planning. Menus feature locally sourced produce to reduce carbon footprint and support regional livelihoods, while plastic use is minimised across all departments.

The resort also maintains active partnerships with local artisans and small-scale producers, integrating their products and services into the guest experience, whether through event décor, corporate gifts, or experiential learning sessions. This emphasis on responsible tourism and inclusive value chains is increasingly viewed as a competitive advantage in the event tourism sector, especially among global clients with internal environmental, social, and governance targets.

To support early-stage group bookings and reinforce its position in the market, Renaissance Hoi An is currently rolling out an event-focused promotion valid until the end of September. The offer applies to groups of 30 or more and includes a range of incentives such as a 50 per cent discount on Vietnamese cooking classes, 15 per cent off food and beverage charges throughout the stay, complimentary room upgrades subject to availability, and shuttle services to and from Hoi An. Event organisers also receive custom-designed welcome signage and personalised group name tags.

The launch of Renaissance Hoi An comes at a time when Vietnam is stepping up efforts to diversify its tourism offerings and decentralise investment flows away from major hubs like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. As international air connectivity to Danang continues to improve and infrastructure in Quang Nam undergoes steady upgrades, the central region is gaining attention as a viable alternative for corporate retreats and mid-scale conventions.

Hoi An, in particular, offers a unique blend of heritage, hospitality, and natural beauty, making it an increasingly attractive option for businesses seeking both efficiency and enrichment in their event planning.

With its blend of upscale accommodation, versatile event spaces, thoughtfully curated cultural experiences, and a strong commitment to sustainable operations, Renaissance Hoi An is poised to play a meaningful role in reshaping the way corporate events are conceived, delivered, and remembered.
