Over two consecutive days, September 27 and 28, 2026, Hoi An Memories Resort & Spa made a strong mark on the global luxury tourism map by receiving two prestigious international accolades: “Asia’s Leading Cultural Resort 2026” at the World Travel Awards and “Most Unique Guest Experience” at the 2026 Haute Grandeur Global Excellence Awards.
This international awards double not only recognizes the resort’s outstanding five-star service quality but also celebrates its distinctive heritage and cultural identity — the core DNA behind the unique appeal of Hoi An Memories Resort & Spa.
September 27, 2026: Reaching New Heights in Cultural Hospitality with a Fifth Consecutive World Travel Awards Win
Competing against outstanding destinations across the region, Hoi An Memories Resort & Spa was named Asia’s Leading Cultural Resort 2026 by the World Travel Awards (WTA), widely known as the “Oscars of the global travel industry.”
This marks the fifth consecutive year that the resort has received prestigious recognition from WTA. Notably, after securing the title of Asia’s Leading Entertainment Resort for four consecutive years from 2022 to 2025, Hoi An Memories Resort & Spa has taken a significant step forward in 2026 by claiming the region’s leading title in Cultural Hospitality.
This year’s award highlights the resort’s distinctive cultural identity:
- A living heritage-inspired architecture: Bringing the beauty of Hoi An’s Old Town to life through moss-covered tiled roofs and nostalgic yellow walls, thoughtfully complemented by modern five-star amenities.
- A multisensory cultural space: A private “heritage island” along the Hoai River, where guests can discover a vibrant collection of heritage experiences and create their own unique Hoi An memories.
- A connection to live performance art: Directly connected to the performance space of the world-renowned Hoi An Memories Show, offering guests an immersive journey into the history and cultural depth of the former Faifo trading port.
September 28, 2026: Celebrating a Distinctive Guest Experience at the Haute Grandeur Global Excellence Awards
Just one day later, the resort received another accolade from the 2026 Haute Grandeur Global Excellence Awards, earning the title of Most Unique Guest Experience.
Based on guest feedback and satisfaction, Haute Grandeur recognized the resort’s seamless and comprehensive guest journey — from five-star accommodation and local cuisine to traditional craft workshops and exclusive access to the world-class Hoi An Memories Show.
Commenting on this remarkable achievement, a representative of Hoi An Memories Resort & Spa shared:
“Receiving this international awards double from the World Travel Awards and Haute Grandeur on two consecutive days, especially being recognized by the World Travel Awards for five consecutive years, is a tremendous source of pride for everyone at Hoi An Memories Resort & Spa. It is a testament to our commitment to placing heritage and culture at the heart of what we do, while making guest satisfaction the benchmark of our service quality.
