It’s not a destination to become a better-self,
it’s a journey.

Courage, enthusiasm, and tremendous love to build An's – Vanny always shows that energy on her journey to form the business and this big family.
Vanny majored in Business Event Management in Sydney, Australia, and then had the opportunity to work in two big hotels in this lovely city. In 2018, Vanny set her passion aside and returned to Vietnam to support the family business. After a few years, she decided to come back to her dream of having An’s, so at the beginning of 2022, she started her journey to make it a reality.
She believes that An’s not only a home for every guest but also a serene home where each staff member feels connected and trusted. Vanny shares her bigger ambition that is “An's together with everyone, create a disciplined, well-organized and the most honest workplace for everyone to develop their profession. Let everyone strive every day to become better professionally as well as improve in their personal life. Finally, for whoever joins the team to understand that only when you do the right thing and be responsible, then you can discover the true love for your job and worth of living".

Born and raised in Hanoi, Cuong spent most of his childhood living with his grandparents, who inspired him a passion for cooking. He enjoyed cooking for family and friends at first; thus, it gradually became a passion that Cuong decided to attend Culinary Arts along with his major in Business Management at the University.
During his career, Cuong is beyond humbled to have many opportunities to work with both local and international chefs. However, he still nourishes a dream to have a place where he can call “home” and treat the guests with his foods.
At An’s, Cuong and the team create dishes inspired by Vietnamese home-food, embracing local ingredients and seasonal features. “Good food is not only about how great the taste is, or how beautiful the way we present, but also about the feelings and memories that we can create for our customer. All of that is made by being disciplined, staying focused, and the most important thing: heart”. With that, Cuong aims to deliver a progressive approach to authentic Vietnamese food to not only domestic guests but also international diners.

Annie majored in Human Resources Management in Australia and used to spend time working part-time for a few Vietnamese restaurants, much like many other international students, to get experience and extra earnings for personal expenses. However, she didn’t anticipate that it would turn into a passion for the customer service industry. Upon her return to Vietnam and after a year of working for a human resources company, she made the decision to pursue her earlier passion by joining An’s, a story-telling house that she calls it her second home.
Annie has been working closely with the team attending to details throughout the entire house from the very beginning. She participated in idea creation, construction supervision and operation procedure formation. She especially dedicates her effort to An’s Spa, a private spa that offers complete relaxation for the body and mind, spreading a well-being-centered lifestyle.
With a clear vision of service quality using organic and sustainable products, Annie shares, “Every visitor to An's, regardless of the service they choose to utilize, will be able to experience the warmth and sincere hospitality that we strive to provide”.
