“A realm of jade and hills,
Bamboo in the breeze, flowers in the rain.”

There are places that need not be told through grandeur. A gentle breeze sweeping through a bamboo grove, ripples stirring across the water, or an eave quietly nestled amidst drifting clouds and lush greenery—these alone are enough to make one slow down.

The First Đồng Hới – Curated Coastal Living was conceived from such an ethos.

Drawing inspiration from a dreamscape, The First Đồng Hới unfolds a journey away from the familiar rhythm of daily life, leading to a slow, refined, and deeply evocative sanctuary. Far beyond a conventional coastal retreat, the project aspires to shape a curated living space—where nature, architecture, and personal experiences harmonize in effortless balance.

With a scale of 171 keysThe First Đồng Hới is envisioned as an open-horizon realm, where spaces are thoughtfully sculpted to embrace the sea, welcome the breeze, and accommodate unhurried days of stay. Here, meaningful experiences need not rely on noise; at times, it is the quiet pauses between journeys that linger the longest.

A Meeting of Minds Bound by Curated Beauty

The lauch of The First Đồng Hới marks a strategic collaboration among me+ architect, DD Hospitality và TRUNG NGHĨA - three distinct entities joining forces to define a fresh approach to hospitality in Đồng Hới.

If architecture shapes how a land is seen, and hospitality operations define how it is lived, then the synergy of these diverse strengths fosters expectations for a project that is not only visually captivating, but also profound in its lived experience.

From the guest's very first step, the way natural light graces an open porch, and the sea breeze flows through open layouts, to the discoveries unveiled with each passing day - all embody the spirit of Curated Coastal Living: residing by the sea without merely looking at the ocean, and retreating into nature without disconnecting from the authentic soul of the land.

171 Keys, and Stories Yet to Unfold

While 171 keys represent a notable scale for a hospitality project, at The First Đồng Hới, this number marks only the beginning.

Behind each sea-facing opening lies a story still being written. Layers of curated spaces and unexpected wonders will gradually reveal themselves, staying true to the essence of any meaningful journey: there is no rush to know the final destination, for true beauty often lies in what unfolds along the way.

Đồng Hới possesses a character all its own—serene, expansive, and filled with breathing room. Rather than imposing an entirely new narrative upon this land, The First Đồng Hới chooses to listen, distill, and retell its intrinsic values through a more contemporary language.

A place to arrive.
A place to stay.
And above all, a place to slow down long enough to truly feel..
