A Vision Born from Love for Hoi An
The journey began in 2012 with the opening of the Little Hoi An Hotel, a 30-room boutique property nestled on Thoai Ngoc Hau Street. The hotel quickly became known for its intimate atmosphere, locally inspired design, and commitment to offering guests an authentic Hoi An experience. It was more than just a hotel—it was a place where the town’s rich cultural heritage was celebrated and shared with the world.
Tien’s vision was clear from the start: to build a collection of culturally connected hotels that embraced the warmth, hospitality, and tradition of Hoi An. What began as a single hotel soon evolved into a network of luxury properties scattered across Hoi An and Central Vietnam, each with its unique charm and character, yet all tied together by the overarching theme of local culture and heritage.
Expanding the Legacy: Boutique Hotels with Heart
The Little Hoi An Group has grown steadily, becoming one of the most respected names in Vietnam’s hospitality scene. Among its most celebrated properties are:
- La Residencia: A 49-room luxury property designed to offer guests a taste of traditional elegance with modern amenities.
- Little Beach: A spacious 106-room hotel that combines beachside tranquility with sophisticated comfort.
- Allegro Hoi An: A five-star, 93-room hotel known for its modern design, luxurious facilities, and exceptional service.
- Little Riverside: A 42-room boutique property offering views of the town's iconic riverside and a peaceful retreat for travelers.
- Little Oasis: A 132-room hotel that encapsulates the essence of laid-back luxury, ideal for those looking to unwind in style.
The group’s motto, "The Heart of Hoi An," resonates deeply in each of these properties, which are not just hotels but cultural ambassadors. From the design and architecture to the food and guest experiences, the Little Hoi An Group reflects the spirit of the town—its history, its people, and its warmth.
Giving Back to the Community
As the group’s success has grown, so has its commitment to Hoi An and its local community. One of Tien's core beliefs is that hospitality should serve not just the visitor but also the place where it thrives. By providing employment opportunities to local people and promoting the town’s rich history and cuisine, the Little Hoi An Group has become an integral part of the local economy.
The hotels employ locals not just in operational roles but also as guides, chefs, and cultural ambassadors, ensuring that visitors leave with a deeper understanding of Hoi An’s history, traditions, and culinary delights. For Thomas Tien, success isn't simply measured in financial terms—it’s about building a heartfelt brand that contributes to the preservation of the town’s cultural identity and leaves a lasting legacy.
A Bright Future: Continuing the Legacy
As 2024 draws to a close, the Little Hoi An Group is preparing to expand further with the launch of Little Dune, a premium restaurant and bar located at the scenic Tan Thanh Beach. This new venture will be another step in Tien’s ongoing mission to elevate Hoi An’s beauty while offering world-class hospitality. But for Tien, the true reward lies in the lasting impact his group has made on the town’s tourism industry and the positive influence it continues to have on the local community.
With a strong focus on preserving Hoi An’s cultural heritage, creating sustainable tourism, and promoting the region on the world stage, the Little Hoi An Group is poised to continue its journey of success—while remaining firmly rooted in the heart of Hoi An.
For Thomas Tien, it’s not just about building a hotel chain; it’s about creating a brand that represents the essence of Hoi An—its charm, its people, and its timeless spirit.
