Area by area
Da Nang neighbourhoods compared
- 01
My Khe Beach strip
Best for: Families who want sea views and a resort feel
Good to know: Hotels and resorts along the beach range from mid-range to luxury; you are a short taxi ride from the centre, and many properties have pools, breakfast buffets and lifts. Check the walk to the sand and the quality of vegetarian breakfast options.
- 02
Han River and city centre
Best for: Travellers who want to walk to the market, museum and promenade
Good to know: Hotels close to the river put you near Han Market, the Cham museum and Dragon Bridge. They are convenient for sightseeing and evening walks, but the beach is a taxi ride away, and rooms in older buildings can be small.
- 03
An Thuong and My An
Best for: Longer stays and cafe-goers
Good to know: A grid of streets between the city and the beach with many cafes, apartments and plant-based restaurants. It is handy for vegan diners, though some lanes are narrow and the area is spread out.
- 04
Son Tra and the north end
Best for: Quiet resort stays
Good to know: Resorts on Son Tra Peninsula and the northern beaches are calmer and greener but far from the centre, and you will rely on a car or ride-hailing for meals and sights.

Before you book
What to check when booking for older travellers
- Ask for a lift, or a ground-floor room — many heritage hotels have steps and no lift.
- Check how far the hotel is from the sights you care about, in minutes by road, not kilometres.
- Prefer free cancellation until close to the date, in case plans or health change.
- Look for 24-hour reception, in-house dining and a doctor-on-call policy.
- Read recent reviews for noise — old-city streets and wedding venues can be loud late.
