A Boutique Hotel Built Around a 24/7 Art Studio

The Interlude is a boutique hotel with a 24/7 art studio at its heart, designed to help you get creative - without fixed classes, rigid schedules, or pressure to create.

Whether you stay just a few nights or a bit longer, you’ll have everything you need to draw, write, and explore at your own pace:
a fully equipped studio, quality materials, and the quiet beauty of Vietnam’s countryside.

Your time is completely your own - but we’re here if you need us. Want to try something new? Talk through an idea? Learn a new technique? Just let us know what you’re hoping for, and we’ll shape the experience around your goals.

24/7 Art Studio

Our art studio is accessible day & night and offers all essential tools, such as easels, paints, high-quality brushes, charcoal pencils, and aprons for you to use.

Wood Workshop
(Coming Soon)

A small wood workshop is underway – a space to try simple carving and craft handmade keepsakes. It’s not quite ready yet, but let us know if you’re curious.

Our Art Studio Hosts

Wherever you are in your creative journey, our studio hosts are here to help - whether you’re picking up a brush for the first time or returning to a long-lost practice. They’re available to help you settle in, explore something new, or go deeper through one-on-one sessions.

No fixed program. No pressure. Just the right support if and when you want it - and space when you don’t.

This is for you if you…

… crave space to create on your own terms
… need a fresh spark of inspiration
… haven’t picked up a brush in years and feel the pull to return
… value time, beauty, and creative freedom
… dream of a quiet, art-filled getaway
… are on sabbatical, travelling solo, or exploring slow travel in retirement and want to create something just for yourself
… are travelling with a creative partner or friend and crave a calm and relaxing space

No matter your background or skill level - you’re welcome here.

Not quite your vibe if you…

… need a packed daily schedule to stay motivated
… expect instructor-led workshops every day
… travel with children under 12
… want a resort-style vacation with constant entertainment

The Interlude is something else - quiet, spacious, and made for those who enjoy creating at their own pace. We welcome adults and young adults (12+) to help preserve the calm atmosphere our guests value.

Lovingly Crafted Rooms

Our rooms are thoughtfully upgraded from an original Vietnamese Homestay Villa by blending modern simplicity with Indochine charm, creating a cozy space perfect for both relaxation and productivity. Each room features a comfortable double bed or two twin beds and a bathroom with either a walk-in rain shower or a marble bathtub. Stay connected with free Wi-Fi and enjoy amenities such as a TV, mini fridge, desk for work, and a sofa chair for reading or relaxing. Each room rate includes a delicious breakfast, lovingly prepared with fresh, local ingredients.

Solitude & Nature

Prefer solitude and some "me time"? Or perhaps you want to enjoy the outdoors to create or relax? We hear you. There’s plenty of space for you to enjoy privacy. Take your sketchbook and pencils and retreat to one of the many beautiful corners in our garden, explore the city of Hoi An, or wander through the nearby rice paddies.

Nutritious Food &
Sustainable Lifestyle

We take pride in sourcing our food locally and organically whenever possible. Only the freshest ingredients make it to your plate, and we even grow some herbs and vegetables in our garden!

In the same spirit, we advocate for a sustainable lifestyle by using refillable dispensers and offering natural, locally made soap in your room.

Focus on your passion – we handle the details

You come for the creativity - we take care of the rest. From Wi-Fi and yoga mats, bikes and local tips, we’re here to support you so you can relax fully and leave feeling refreshed and inspired.

Looking to explore? We’ll point you to the hidden gems - the places we go ourselves: for food, a good massage, or a peaceful café overlooking the rice paddies. No scripted tours, no kickbacks - just thoughtful suggestions to help you experience Hoi An like a local.
