New Orient Hotel Danang
Ivy-draped sandstone tower
Ivy-draped sandstone tower
This urban hotel wraps its sandstone frame in hanging ivy, orienting stays around open courtyards rather than street noise.
What it’s good at
Notable
Sandstone walls and cascading ivy curtains frame the central open-air pool courtyard.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The central pool dominates the layout, almost like a courtyard, complete with a dedicated bar and curtains of ivy — not to mention, on the rooftop, a cocktail bar and infinity pool.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Han River promenade is a short walk away, where the river mouth empties into Da Nang Bay.
The rooms
Rooms use teal accents and recessed lighting. Upgraded options add deep soaking tubs and balconies facing the river.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Swimmers use a 40-metre outdoor lap pool in the courtyard, or take to the rooftop infinity pool for mountain views.
The spa
Treatment rooms look through wide windows beside deep soaking tubs. The spa also has a sauna and steam room.
The gym
Cardio machines and strength equipment line wide windows inside the dedicated fitness hub on the recreation floor.
Bistecca Restaurant
Terrace tables look out across the river skyline, where dinners focus on Tuscan grills and selections from the wine cellar.
At the table
The Gypsy mixes drinks on the rooftop as dusk falls over distant mountains. An indoor buffet serves breakfast beside skyline windows.
How it began
The owners of New Phuong Dong, Da Nang's landmark nightclub, opened the hotel in 2018 as a sister hospitality venture.
