Where to Stay in Da Nang: Area Guide
Da Nang hotels fall into a few clear zones: the Han River city centre, the My Khe beach strip, larger resorts toward Non Nuoc and the Marble Mountains, and secluded properties on the Son Tra peninsula. The airport is inside the city, so transfers to most zones are short.
