10 Best Hotels in Da Nang, Vietnam — My Khe Beach & River Stays

We're opening our Da Nang list with the most well-rounded beachfront resort of the bunch: Pullman Danang Beach Resort. Da Nang is central Vietnam's fastest-rising coastal city, and My Khe is the long white-sand beach everyone wants to sleep next to. Pullman is a 5-star Accor property planted directly on the southern stretch of that beach, with roughly 187 rooms and villas, many with balconies facing the sea or garden. The headline feature is the big outdoor seaside pool with a path leading straight down to a private beach, plus the Azura Beach Club, a pool bar and several restaurants. There's a spa, gym, kids' club and a full slate of water activities. Real guests on Trip.com rate it 9.3/10 across more than 290 reviews, with rooms starting around $140 a night. We'd point families and couples here who want a full beachfront resort at a price that's easier to swallow than the city's top-tier luxury names.

The number-two pick is the resort that suits a big family better than anywhere else on this list — Premier Village Danang Resort, managed by Accor. It sits on the southern stretch of My Khe Beach, right next door to the Pullman, but the difference is that this place is all private villas — roughly 106 of them, many with their own pool, a balcony and a small kitchen. Layouts run from 1 to 4 bedrooms, so it works for a large family or a group of friends who want to stay together but keep their own space. The shared areas add two outdoor pools with a path straight down to the sand, two restaurants including the Lemongrass coffee shop, 24-hour room service, a full spa, sauna, gym and a babysitting service. Real-guest scores on Trip.com sit at 9.2/10 across more than 140 reviews. Rates start near $180 a night — the highest here — but you are paying for villa space and privacy.

Coming in at #3 is the one stay on this list that doesn't play by the usual rules — Fusion Suites Danang Beach, a 4-star wellness apart-hotel that opened in 2015 on Vo Nguyen Giap street in Son Tra district, directly across from My Khe Beach. Cross the beach road and you're on the sand in seconds. What sets it apart is the Fusion group's whole concept baked into the room rate: 231 apartment-style suites with a real sitting area, a "breakfast anywhere, anytime" policy, a daily yoga class, and a free foot massage for every guest. Up top there's a Zen rooftop bar with sea views, and the building also holds a spa and wellness centre, a gym and a pool. Real guests on Trip.com rate it about 8.9/10, with rooms starting around $63 a night. We'd send couples and long-stay travelers here — anyone who wants a spacious suite plus wellness perks for less than a luxury resort charges.

Sitting at number four is the big-chain pick for travelers who want luxury without the crowds: Hyatt Regency Danang Resort and Spa. This 5-star Hyatt sits on the south side of the city on Non Nuoc Beach, which stays noticeably quieter and more private than the central stretch of My Khe. It's a large complex — 199 rooms, 145 serviced residences and 23 three-bedroom villas, every unit with a balcony. The headline feature is the 5 outdoor pools spread across the grounds, plus a private beach. VIE Spa sits in a tropical garden and blends traditional Vietnamese healing with modern wellness, and there are several restaurants including the Baguette Cafe French bakery. The biggest geographic win: it's only about 2 km from Marble Mountains and works as a gateway to the UNESCO sites at Hoi An, Hue and My Son. Real guests on Trip.com score it 9.1/10 from 520+ reviews, with rates from around $154 a night.

For #5 the scene shifts from the beach to the riverfront downtown — Avora Hotel. It's a small 3-star of roughly 33 rooms on Bach Dang Street, running along the Han River in Hai Chau, the heart of Da Nang's Old Town. Many rooms get a sitting nook and a river or city view, and the standout is a rooftop that takes in the Han River and Dragon Bridge — built for a slow evening beer. The location does a lot of work: it's an easy walk to Han Market, the pink Da Nang Cathedral and Dragon Bridge, with restaurants and cafes packed all around. Best of all, Da Nang Airport sits only about 3 km away, so it's handy for a transit night or a short stay. There's a restaurant and coffee shop for breakfast, free parking, luggage storage and concierge. Real guests rate it 9.2/10 on Trip.com across 120+ reviews, with rooms starting near $31 a night — our pick for value travelers who want to be downtown on the water.

Sitting one door down from Avora on the same riverfront road, Brilliant Hotel steps things up to a proper 4-star — an international-standard property of about 99 rooms plus 3 luxury apartment units on Bach Dang Road, right in the old quarter of Danang. Many rooms look straight onto the Han River. Compared with Avora next door, Brilliant gives you far more on site: a hotel pool, a full-service spa, a sauna, a jacuzzi and a gym. The crowd favorite is the Top Bar, a rooftop with a panoramic sweep of the river and the Dragon Bridge, open for lunch and dinner, and the breakfast scores high with proper Asian options. Rooms come with a bathtub or shower, a safe and a work desk. You can walk to Han Market and the Pink Cathedral, and the airport is about 3 km away. Real guests rate it 9.2/10 on Trip.com from 130+ reviews, with rates starting around $46 a night.

Ranked #7, the Vanda Hotel is the best walk-everywhere base in our budget tier for Danang — a modern 19-storey tower of roughly 114 rooms and suites on Nguyen Van Linh Street in the Hai Chau downtown core. The headline is location: it's a 5- to 8-minute walk to Dragon Bridge, the city's landmark, and about 5 minutes to Han Market. Many rooms look out over the city or the river. Inside there's an indoor pool, a massage spa, a gym, free bikes for getting around, a rooftop bar and Trico Restaurant doing buffet breakfast plus lunch and dinner. Every room has air-con, a flat-screen TV, a minibar and a safe, and the front desk runs 24 hours with luggage storage, parking, laundry and airport pickup. Best of all, Danang Airport sits about 2 km away. Real-guest scores on Trip.com run 9.2/10 from 400+ reviews, with rooms from around $44 a night.

Number 8 is the budget pick for travelers who want to wake up near the sand — Mai Boutique Villa, a small 3-star boutique of roughly 22 rooms on Pham Van Dong street in the Son Tra district, by the north end of My Khe Beach. The draw is the warm, owner-run feel a big chain can't fake. There's a small rooftop and a ground-floor garden to sit out in, and every room comes with air-con, a minibar and a flat-screen TV. On site you get a restaurant, coffee shop, bar and lounge, a games room and a small banquet hall. The beach is only about 0.9 km away — 10 to 12 minutes on foot, or a 3-minute drive — with the Han River roughly 1.5 km off and the Dragon Bridge about 3 km. A round-trip airport shuttle runs 24 hours for an extra fee, plus there's a concierge and free Wi-Fi. Real guests rate it around 8.1/10 on Trip.com, and rooms start near $30 a night — the lowest on this list.

Coming in at #9 is the boutique that's generous with its guests in a way most aren't — Sanouva Da Nang Hotel, a 4-star spot of about 83 rooms on Phan Chau Trinh street, right in the heart of Danang's Old Town. Each room is styled a little differently, with a minibar and an LED TV. What makes Sanouva stand out is how much it folds into the rate: a free 30-minute in-hotel massage, and a free afternoon tea buffet every day from 3:00 to 4:30pm. The breakfast buffet runs daily from 6:00 to 10:00am and rotates about 40% of its menu each morning. On site there's an outdoor pool, a full-service spa, a sauna and a gym. Han Market is a 0.6 km walk, with the Dragon Bridge and the night market about 10–15 minutes on foot, and the airport sits roughly 2.5 km away. Real guests on Trip.com rate it 9.0/10 from over 270 reviews, with rooms from around $43 a night.

We close out the Da Nang list with a beach hotel that still keeps the price down — Jazz Hotel, sitting on the beachfront Vo Nguyen Giap road in the Son Tra district near the north end of My Khe Beach. It's a small place of roughly 48-50 rooms, many with a balcony and an open sea view. One thing to flag before you book: the hotel now trades under the name Hotel Chavana — same building, same address (68 Vo Nguyen Giap), not a closure. Some booking sites still show both names. The draw is a location that puts you about 5 minutes' walk from My Khe, plus an outdoor pool, rooftop solarium and terrace, a restaurant and a coffee bar — it was originally known for live jazz, which is where the name came from. Free breakfast runs daily 6:30-9:30, parking is free, and every room has AC, a flat-screen TV, minibar, safe and kettle. There's 24-hour reception, luggage storage and laundry. The airport is about 7 km away, and rooms start at roughly $57 a night.
