Da Nang hotels and guesthouses guide
Furama Resort in Da Nang is a top choice
Most of Da Nang’s hotels cater to business people rather than tourists, so many of them include spacious banqueting halls and conference rooms. There are plenty of top-end and mid-range options, but few budget hotels and nothing like a backpackers’ ghetto.
If you’ve no special reason to be based in the city centre, it’s worth considering places on nearby beaches such as My Khe. Apart from those resorts listed here, look out for new branches of international chains like Hyatt and Crowne Plaza that are planning to open beachfront properties soon.
