This top-rated high-demand hotel is located just a few minutes walk from the My Khe Beach and is a fine choice for a stay in Vietnam's Da Nang.
A definite for the 'bougie' list, the rooftop pool, bar, and restaurant are worth coming for alone!
Not to mention 4-star dining with breakfast, lunch, and dinner buffet packages, full spa facilities, expansive lobby and working areas, a gym, and a children's playroom!
Da Nang is a popular tourist destination, known for its beautiful beaches, rich history, and stunning natural scenery.
The city is home to several other popular tourist attractions, such as the Marble Mountains, the Dragon Bridge, and the Han River Bridge.
The Sala Beach Hotel turned out to be a fantastic choice for us for our first stay in Vietnam.
In this post, we share our full review, including the awesome food we had, our room, how to find the Sala Beach Hotel, and our hotel experience ratings!

Our Sala Danang Beach Hotel Highlights
We had been living in Thailand for 6 fantastic weeks before landing at Da Nang International Airport.
We were super excited to get here and discover more of the wonderful culture South Asia has.
Again, it turned out better than expected; much of that was owing to our great stay at the Sala Danang Hotel.
Everything about our travel day had worked out smoothly; getting to the airport, going through security, the flight, getting through immigration; it was all a breeze (pardon the pun).
So far, so good... taxi from the airport, also no problem.
Needless to say, we were feeling great, and by the time we checked in, accepted an upgrade (thank you Expedia) and sat down to wait in the lobby, these welcome drinks went down a treat!
Not sure what it was, but it was a deep purple, sweet and fruity, and served with a cooling towel.
It was a moment where we both looked at each other, feeling welcomed, excited, slightly tired, but eager to see what was next in store.
And there was just so much more! Let's go explore...
Yes, that is what we made a beeline for!
The crown jewel of Sala Beach Hotel, its beautiful rooftop bar, pool, and restaurant, overlooking My Khe Beach and with a 360-degree view of much of the city of Da Nang itself.
The vibe was great, as was the efficient and attentive staff.
It is a great place to chill, swim, and enjoy the ocean and beach, without actually being on it.
The sun can be pretty strong up there, too, so a decent tan is a bonus.
This was our major highlight, but this is just one part of what is a 4-star hotel that works hard to maintain that standard.
We were very impressed with the room, spa, and breakfast buffet too. Our tour continues...
The Room at Sala Beach Hotel
The hotel features 162 well-appointed rooms and suites, each elegantly decorated with modern amenities and furnished with contemporary furnishings.
The rooms are well-designed to provide guests with a comfortable and relaxing stay, with features such as air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, mini-bars, and private balconies with beautiful sea or city views.
They are also nicely spaced out and have decent wi-fi too.
We found our room to be clean, comfortable, and very relaxing. The air-con worked well, which is always crucial in hot countries!
There were some nice touches here with a stocked mini-bar, complimentary snacks, and coffee, which was a common theme amongst the 3 hotels we stayed at in Vietnam (great job guys).
We particularly liked the cool perks of Sala branded robes and flips, which could be purchased if wanted (we took the flips too, they were great!).
The bathroom also came with a hairdryer, shower gel, shampoo, and a small pampering kit, which is nice and convenient if you like to travel light on the toiletry side (which by the way, is a great way to save weight).
This was certainly 4-star service, right down to the chocolate mints on our pillows.
All in all, we were very impressed with our room and would recommend it.
Our only slight critique (and a pet peeve of ours) was that there was no microwave.
They are so handy for warming up hot drinks and leftover food; we find it so odd that they are so rare in rooms, particularly in Asia. Not a big deal at all, but something to suggest!
Also, the windows were a little dirty, but given we were on the 17th floor and by the sea, this was understandable.
We tried to find a critique, and this was all that we could muster. The room... spot on!
The Food at Sala Beach Hotel
Sala Danang Beach Hotel offers several dining options, including two restaurants (one buffet and one on the rooftop), a rooftop bar, and a coffee shop/bar in the lobby.
Guests can enjoy a modest selection of Vietnamese and international cuisine at the rooftop restaurant, as well as refreshing cocktails and drinks, where you can also enjoy sweeping panoramic views of the ocean and the city.
The buffet is more extensive, as you would expect, and offers a great variety of Asian cuisine and specialty dishes.
The standards were set high here, and we were impressed with the food on the whole.
We tried the beef steak and spaghetti carbonara at the rooftop restaurant, and both dishes were reasonably priced and tasty.
Our only slight critique was that they were not piping hot; the server told us that they come from the 3rd floor to the 22nd, and they lose heat.
Fair explanation, and the food was fine, but this is perhaps something that should be addressed, especially for a 4-star hotel. We liked the buffet, though, and tried most of the options!
Our favorite part was the barista-served coffee, which is a nice touch for a buffet (they are usually self-service). Check out our overall rating here.
Sala Beach Hotel Facilities
The hotel also offers a range of facilities for guests to enjoy, including a swimming pool, a fitness centre, a spa, and a sauna.
Additionally, Sala Danang Beach Hotel provides guests with a range of services, such as 24-hour front desk service, currency exchange, laundry, and room service.
⪢ Rooftop Restaurant
We took a spot here for sunset, dining into the night as we watched the sweeping change from sun-kissed buildings to neon signs and bright lights.
The atmosphere was beautiful up here, with no other diners (we arrived just on opening time, 6 pm).
The decor is excellent, with the restaurant also taking advantage of a 360 view as you walk around the perimeter.
There is also a fantastic wine selection and a fully stocked liquor bar. We would certainly suggest an evening meal here; the service is also excellent, with the staff being highly attentive throughout.
As mentioned earlier, the food temperature was a slight issue, hopefully, that is something that can be rectified, although it is not a major issue.
⪢ Buffet Restaurant
As part of our package, we had a complimentary breakfast buffet every morning, which, as you can see below, was nicely put together and organized.
The service was one of our highlights; every morning, someone came to us at our table to check in and make sure we were enjoying our food and the stay.
That was such a nice touch!
At one point, we were fanning ourselves as it was quite hot, and it was noticed, and the air-con went on moments later. Now that is what we are talking about!
It made us feel appreciated and valued, and we thank all of the staff for that.
There are also chefs and baristas working at the buffet, meaning you can get specialty dishes, cooked eggs, and a range of different coffee options too.
Sometimes buffets can be a bit hit and miss; this is a hit!
⪢ Rooftop Infinity Pool & Bar
The rooftop pool and bar are an excellent place to chill, swim, and unwind, as mentioned earlier in our hotel highlight.
The design and layout make excellent use of the space, and while it can get busy at times, it always seemed like everyone had a spot.
There is also a mini buffet here at times, with finger snacks, and the bar is tucked away around the corner from the pool to create a good separation between the two spaces.
The greenery and décor are just perfect up here, too. We think the pictures speak for themselves!
⪢ Zen Spa
We are both fans of a good spa treatment, and we always like to check them out when available, even if we do not end up using them!
Zen Spa at Sala Hotel offers a variety of different treatments, in keeping with most spas, alongside some great package deals that you can take advantage of.
The Zen Spa 'Buffet' was a nice offer here; for roughly USD 30 per person, you can select up to 3 treatments, lasting a total of 90 minutes.
We thought this was a fantastic deal, especially when considering that in some places, just one treatment can cost you almost double that.
We opted for the foot therapy, back, neck & shoulder massage (which was full-body), and sauna & steam. The massage was excellent and we would highly recommend it!
The foot therapy came first and was very relaxing, going into the massage.
We did the sauna and steam last; this was awesome too, however, the hot tub was not working at the time, which was a little disappointing.
Not to take anything away from the overall experience, though! The staff, the atmosphere, and ambience it was all lovely and great value for money.
⪢ The Gym
We aren't exactly gym users, so we couldn't tell you much about the standard of equipment here, but it looked modern, clean, and in good condition.
Oh, and that view! If we were to work out in a gym, this would be a great place to do it!
⪢ Children's Play Area
This play area is located on the same floor as the spa, which we found a little odd at first, as the access is via the same lobby/reception area.
It was a little noisy on one occasion when we came to enquire about spa services, but when we came for our treatments, it was fine and there was no interruption.
The room is fully air-conditioned and has plenty of things to keep the kids entertained while mama and papa take a load off!
This is a nice touch as we have not often seen this type of facility in hotels we have stayed at.
⪢ The Lobby
All hotels want to make a good first impression, and we have to say that the Sala Danang Hotel does that with aplomb here.
The sweeping lobby certainly has the wow factor and is well-decorated and brightly lit. There is a large seating area and bar, along with a piano.
The 3 main elevators are running through the centre, along with another elevator that runs on the front of the building.
The lobby is warm and welcoming, and is big enough to accommodate the heavy stream of guests that we saw throughout our stay here.
The reception desk staff were on point, and several baggage handlers were helping too. Top marks here!
