Chapter 1:
Sapa

Our story begins in the winter of 2011, in the misty mountain town of Sapa. Back then, Sapa was still a quiet escape drawing in visitors by its amazing scenery and unique ethnic culture.

A century earlier it’s cool Summer climate was what attracted its first French visitors – a colonial hill station built to escape Hanoi’s intense Summer heat.

With respect to the town’s unique culture and inspired by its history, we opened the first The Hill Station - a cozy space where travelers and expats could find comfort: a warm fire, soft music, familiar food, and a place to feel at home. It quickly became a local favorite - a relaxed gathering spot for those passing through and those who stayed a little longer than planned.

As The Hill Station became part of the Sapa landscape, we began dreaming of where the journey could take us next.

Chapter 2:
Hoi An

At first, we looked to Hanoi and the Laotian outpost Luang Prabang, but then stumbled upon a listing for a weathered French villa in Hoi An’s heritage old town. 

 

Something about it felt right.

Within days we were on a flight. Within weeks, we were renovating. And by October 2015, our second The Hill Station opened its doors.

That villa has been our home ever since. 

 

It's more than just a location - it’s part of who we are. We’ve grown into the space, and we hope it offers you the same sense of comfort and connection that first inspired us.
