Where to Stay in Da Nang: Best Areas and Hotels for Different Budgets

Located halfway between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh city, Da Nang offers a much-needed breath of fresh air and a slower pace of life. Nature is Da Nang’s best friend, with mountains, beaches, the sea, and a river all thrown into the mix. Take a deep breath, and just relax in this picturesque city — here’s your chance to unwind, you deserve it.

If you’re wondering where to stay in Da Nang, here are our top picks!

Stay right in the pulsating heart of the city at Downtown Da Nang, also known as the city centre. Comprising the parts between Da Nang International Airport and Han River, the area revolves around the Han River and Han Market. 

With a location that can’t be beat, Seahorse Han Market Da Nang is located within walking distance of the Han River, Dragon Bridge, Han Market, and Museum of Cham Sculpture. The boutique hotel wows with its views: be spoiled for choice with either river or city views from your room, or soak in the splendid views from the outdoor terrace! 

There’s something for everyone: choose to stay in a private room, studio apartment (with a kitchenette), or a mixed dormitory. Easily settle your meals at Han Market; otherwise, dig into a daily breakfast at the onsite restaurant. Craving for some retail therapy? The hotel is only a five-minute walk from the Indochina Riverside Mall, which has a wide line-up of shops on top of a river-view food court.

#KlookTip: For a fun activity with your travel companions, why not tackle a Vietnamese cooking class? Grab all the necessary ingredients from Han Market, sample Vietnamese coffee, and visit a herb garden, before whipping up a feast all whilst guided by a professional chef.

A stay at Novotel Da Nang Premier Han River spells nothing but luxury — indulge in a splendid sunset view from your immaculately designed room, go for a languid swim at the outdoor swimming pool, and feast your eyes on panoramic views from the lounge. Unwind at the sunset bar (which is the highest panoramic bar in the city!), before indulging your tastebuds with a signature themed buffet. 

Stay in one of the hotel’s rooms, suites, or serviced one- to three-bedroom apartments. Even better, take it up a notch by booking an executive room or suite that comes with complimentary executive club lounge access. Think: afternoon tea, as well as evening cocktails and canapés to sweeten the deal!

Nestled along the Han River, the hotel is just a stone’s throw away from the Dragon Bridge and Da Nang Museum. It’s also just a few minutes on foot away from the pier, where you can take a twinkling night cruise along the river. 

Take one look at its surroundings, and Fivitel Boutique Da Nang immediately stands out with its cheery yellow exterior. It might be a boutique hotel, but it impresses with modern central European architectural furnishings, sparkling marble floors, a chandelier, and a spiral staircase leading up from the lobby.

Perfect for families, the hotel boasts a spacious family suite or family triple-room. Let the little ones have fun at the kids club, whilst the adults can indulge in some me-time at the spa — before reuniting for a dip at the indoor pool.

Enjoy either a city or river view from your room; or from the outdoor terrace. Despite its central location, the hotel is only a ten-minute drive from the airport! For added convenience, there’s also a paid airport shuttle available.

Da Nang is known for its beaches, and what better way to relax than by staying near any of them? My Khe beach is the crowd favourite by far — where you can get a sun-kissed tan, people-watch at a café, or take a surfing lesson from November to March. 

Chicland Da Nang Beach Hotel is truly a sight to behold: keep a lookout for a towering vertical garden, where plants adorn all the building’s balconies. Less than five minutes walk from My Khe beach, the hotel entices with dazzling sea views from many rooms. Staying true to the theme of nature, the rooms are decked out in soothing wood tones. 

Did you know that with its laidback vibe, Da Nang is perfect for exploring on a bicycle? Rent one for free from the hotel, and go for a leisurely ride along the shore. Cool off with a few laps in the outdoor swimming pool, before either of the two onsite restaurants. We’ve got our eye on Tra House and Bistro, where the Vietnamese tea culture is the star of the show. End the night with a tipple at the Chicland lounge, all whilst listening to the lilting tunes of a live band.

Situated just 50 metres from Pham Van Dong beach (and a mere four-minute walk to My Khe beach), the A La Carte Da Nang Beach Hotel pulls out all the stops when it comes to ocean views. Marvel at unobstructed views from the rooftop bar, which is the prime place to catch the sunset. Stay in studios; or one-, two-, or three-bedroom apartments, all of which come with living and dining areas. And yes, many rooms have a brilliant sea view too!

A definite highlight is the infinity pool on the rooftop. If you’ve got little kids in tow, they’ll be delighted by the playground, games room, and kids club. Refuel with the restaurant’s ala carte menu or buffet; alternatively, get your favourite snacks delivered to your doorstep with room service.

Just look at the gorgeous Pullman Da Nang Beach Resort! Occupying the widest part of My An Beach, the resort is a luxurious oasis located right by the ocean. Stretch out by the infinity pool, or take up a private beach cabana — with a refreshing cocktail in hand, of course.

Every room at the resort comes with a private balcony, where you can savour sea, pond, or garden views. Rent a bicycle, go all out with water sports equipment, or battle it out at the tennis court — there’s just so much, yet so little, to do all at the same time.

Feeling peckish? Head to Restaurant Epice, where you can watch your meal being prepared in the open kitchen. The Da Nang International Airport is just a fifteen-minute ride away; for added convenience, hop onto a two-way airport transfer at an additional cost.

Son Tra Peninsula (or Monkey Mountain) has earned itself a reputation for being impossibly scenic, and rightly so! Home to sprawling natural forests, lots of flora and fauna, plus magnificent views to boot, the peninsula is for those who want to escape from the world. Seclusion is key here, on top of close proximity to hiking trails and caves to explore.

Look at the map, and the Intercontinental Da Nang Sun Peninsula Resort juts out of the coastline in a secluded private bay. Indeed, be transported to another world at this luxurious resort, which even has a private beach. If space is what you’re after, the resort checks all the boxes. Stay in rooms with walk-in showers and sea-view balconies; complete with fully-equipped kitchens. If you’re feeling fancy, the beachfront villas also come with a private pool and sundeck. In fact, some even come with a private dining pavilion too! 

The young ones will adore the kids club (and teen centre); whilst adults can pamper themselves at the adults-only infinity pool or award-winning spa. Feel like you’re worlds away from everything else and disconnect. However, whenever you feel like reconnecting, the downtown Da Nang area isn’t too far away either, and can be reached in 30 minutes. 

#KlookTip: Even if you’re not staying at the resort, why not book a daycation (inclusive of lunch or afternoon tea) to experience the magic for a day?

Treat yourself to a comfortable stay without the exorbitant price tag at Nguyen Gia Hotel. You’ll have all your creature comforts, in spacious rooms that come with city or ocean views. Facing the beach directly, the hotel also has select rooms that come with a kitchen. Spend the day at the beach or outdoor pool, or take one of the free bikes to discover the surrounding area.

The best part? Parents, here’s looking at you: the hotel even offers a handy babysitting service for when you need a breather. Rest assured that your little ones will be in capable hands! Families will love the family room, which has more than enough space for your kids to run around. Breakfast is available daily; or, if you prefer to eat in the comfort of your own room, room service is just a call away.

#KlookTip: The 3D Museum Art in Paradise — Vietnam’s biggest 3D art museum — is also just 5 minutes away by car, or 20 minutes on foot. Strike your best poses!

Son Tra Sea Hotel is a no-frills accommodation that’s incredibly easy on the pocket. And with ocean views for some rooms, there’s no better deal than this! Get a basic room, superior room, panoramic room (that looks directly out onto the beach!), or family room. Just a short walk from the beach, the hotel is a 20-minute drive from Marble Mountains.

Need anything during your stay? The hotel has a 24-hour front desk, plus room service if you want to munch on something without getting out of bed. And believe it or not, the toilets in the room even come with a bidet! The central Downtown area is just a short 12-minute drive away; alternatively, grab a bicycle from the front reception to get around on two wheels.

Nestled between the Son Tra Peninsula and Hai Van Mountain, Da Nang Bay is located along the coast.

Just six minutes on foot from Xuan Thieu Beach, Mikazuki Japanese Resorts & Spa is nestled in the heart of Da Nang Bay. Offering the best of Vietnamese and Japanese hospitality, the property is split into the contemporary Mikazuki hotel and the picturesque Hinode villa. Marvel at the views from your room (every room comes with a bathtub on the balcony!) or infinity pool — this is what a vacation should look and feel like. Be transported to Japan at various photo spots; think: a Mt. Fuji replica, and corridors lined with cherry blossoms.

Address: Nguyễn Tất Thành, Hoà Hiệp Nam, Liên Chiểu, Đà Nẵng 55000, Vietnam

That’s not all: the Mikazuki Water Park is a Japanese-style water park, where the waters are kept warm throughout the year. Kick back and relax as you float along the lazy river, or go down the thrilling Rainbow Dragon Slider. End the day by soaking in the onsen, which has both public and private bathing areas.
