Where to Stay in Da Nang: Best Hotels and Areas (2026 Guide)
Where to stay in Da Nang depends primarily on whether you want to be on the beach or in the city centre — the two main accommodation zones are separated by about 2 kilometres. Da Nang’s beachfront along My Khe and Non Nuoc beaches has the highest concentration of resort hotels; the Han River city centre has more guesthouses, boutique hotels, and budget accommodation. Both areas are well-served by Grab ride-hailing and are within easy access of Ba Na Hills, the Marble Mountains, and Hoi An. This guide covers the best areas, top hotels at every price point, and practical booking tips for 2026.

Best Areas to Stay in Da Nang
| Area | Best For | Avg. Nightly Rate | Distance to Beach |
|---|---|---|---|
| My Khe Beachfront | Beach access; resort experience; couples | $40–$300 | On the beach |
| An Thuong Tourist Area | Bars and restaurants; mid-range; social | $25–$100 | 5 min walk |

My Khe Beachfront — Best for Beach Access
The strip of hotels directly fronting My Khe Beach on Vo Nguyen Giap Street is Da Nang’s most popular accommodation zone. Hotels here range from budget guesthouses (from $20) to five-star international resorts (from $200). Staying beachfront means walking to the sand in under a minute — ideal for those whose priority is beach time. The downside is that the beachfront can be noisy until late on weekends, and Grab is needed to reach city-centre restaurants and the Dragon Bridge.
Top Hotels on My Khe Beachfront
Furama Resort Da Nang — A well-established 5-star resort on My Khe Beach, one of the first international luxury hotels in Da Nang, opened in 1997. Four pools, multiple restaurants, a spa, and direct beach access. Strong reputation for service. Rates from $130 in low season; $250+ in peak season (July–August).
Hyatt Regency Da Nang — A large 5-star resort between My Khe and Non Nuoc beaches with multiple pools, a lazy river, and 198 rooms and suites plus private pool villas. Strong family credentials. Rates from $180.

An Thuong Tourist Area — Best for Nightlife and Restaurants
The An Thuong neighbourhood — a grid of streets directly behind My Khe Beach — is Da Nang’s most social tourist zone, with the highest concentration of international restaurants, beach bars, coffee shops, and budget to mid-range guesthouses. It has a backpacker-friendly atmosphere without being overwhelmingly party-focused. Staying here gives you easy beach access plus a walkable restaurant and bar strip.
La Siesta Premium Da Nang — A boutique hotel on Duong Dinh Nghe Street in An Thuong, with a pool and excellent breakfast. Good mid-range choice in this area from $55.
Brilliant Hotel — A popular 4-star option near the An Thuong area with a rooftop pool and consistent positive reviews. Rates from $50.
Han River / City Centre — Best for Budget and Local Character
The Han River city centre — spanning the Hai Chau district west of the beach — has Da Nang’s most affordable accommodation, including hostels from $6 per dorm bed, guesthouses from $15, and boutique hotels from $30. The city-centre location puts you near the Dragon Bridge, Da Nang Cathedral, Con Market, and local Vietnamese restaurants that serve the city’s working population rather than tourists.
Sala Da Nang Beach Hotel — A popular mid-range hotel near the Han River bridge with good service and comfortable rooms. Rates from $35.
Memory Hostel Da Nang — One of Da Nang’s best-run hostels, close to the Han River, with a social atmosphere and good facilities. Dorms from $7; private rooms from $18.
Gold Hotel Da Nang — A reliable budget hotel near the Dragon Bridge with clean rooms and a central location. Rates from $20.
Non Nuoc Beach and Marble Mountains — Best for Luxury Resorts
Non Nuoc Beach, south of My Khe and adjacent to the Marble Mountains, is Da Nang’s luxury resort corridor — a quieter stretch of beach with more space between properties and a string of international 5-star resorts.
Pullman Da Nang Beach Resort — A luxurious 5-star beachfront property with multiple pools, a spa, and extensive gardens. One of Da Nang’s most complete resort experiences. Rates from $160.
Naman Retreat — An architecturally striking eco-resort on Non Nuoc Beach, designed by Vietnamese architect Vo Trong Nghia using natural materials and integrated with coastal garden landscapes. Rates from $200. One of the most design-forward resorts in Vietnam.
Son Tra Peninsula — Best for Seclusion and Luxury
The Son Tra Peninsula north of Da Nang has two ultra-luxury resorts occupying private headland positions with their own beaches.
InterContinental Da Nang Sun Peninsula Resort — Designed by architect Bill Bensley and cascading down a forested hillside to a private beach, the InterContinental Da Nang is widely regarded as one of the finest resort hotels in Southeast Asia. Rates from $400. If budget allows, this is the most extraordinary hotel stay in Da Nang.
Sonata Resort and Spa — A more affordable Son Tra option with private beach access and mountain views. Rates from $80.
Da Nang Hotel Booking Tips
- Book 6–10 weeks ahead for July and August — peak Vietnamese domestic summer holiday season; beachfront hotels sell out and prices surge 40–80%
- Dragon Boat Festival and Tet (Lunar New Year) — Vietnamese public holidays create significant demand spikes; book months ahead if dates overlap
- Avoid October–January for beach hotels unless you’re comfortable with possible typhoon-related closures and rain. City-centre and inland hotels are less affected
- Negotiate directly — many smaller Da Nang guesthouses offer 10–15% discounts for direct booking via email or WhatsApp over their Booking.com listing
- Check flood risk — some city-centre areas near the Han River flood during extreme rainfall in October–November; check hotel reviews for flood mentions if visiting in this period
Frequently Asked Questions
Where should I stay in Da Nang for the first time?
First-time visitors should stay in the An Thuong tourist area behind My Khe Beach or directly on the beachfront. This gives you immediate beach access, easy restaurant and cafe options, and Grab access to all the major sights. The beachfront strip on Vo Nguyen Giap Street between A La Carte Hotel and Furama Resort is the sweet spot of convenience and quality.
Is it better to stay in Da Nang or Hoi An?
Base yourself in Da Nang and day-trip to Hoi An rather than the reverse. Da Nang has better accommodation value, direct beach access, easier airport connections, and better transport infrastructure for reaching Ba Na Hills and the Marble Mountains. Hoi An is more atmospheric for an evening stroll, but its accommodation prices are higher for equivalent quality and transport to Da Nang and Ba Na Hills is less convenient.
Is Da Nang expensive for accommodation?
Da Nang is very affordable by international standards. Good beachfront hotels with pools cost $40–$80 per night. Boutique guesthouses in the city centre with air conditioning cost $20–$40. Hostels cost $6–$12 for a dorm bed. Only the Son Tra Peninsula ultra-luxury resorts ($300–$600) are expensive in global terms — and even those are significantly cheaper than equivalent resorts in Bali or the Maldives.
