Hilton Hotels & Resorts has announced the opening of a 28-storey, 223-room full-service hotel in Central Vietnam, marking the group's third hotel in the country after Hilton Hanoi Opera and Hilton Garden Inn Hanoi.

“The opening of Hilton Da Nang represents a milestone for us with the entry of the brand into yet another key destination in South East Asia. Bringing our flagship Hilton brand into major and secondary cities with the right partners is part of our growth strategy. With Da Nang expected to draw 15 million tourists by 2030, we are confident Hilton Da Nang, as a beacon of hospitality, will be top-of-mind for them when they visit this beautiful coastal city," said Paul Hutton, vice president, operations, South East Asia, Hilton.

Located near the Han Bridge and the city’s famed Bach Dang street, Hilton Da Nang enjoys easy access to the hub of Da Nang’s main entertainment, shopping and business belts. The hotel is also a short 10-minute drive from Da Nang International Airport, and five minutes from Da Nang Beach.

“Hilton has proudly welcomed travellers through its doors for almost 100 years, and we are thrilled to be able to continue doing so in a city with tremendous growth potential, such as Da Nang, underscoring our commitment to offer our guests moments that matter around the world,” said Vera Manoukian, senior vice president and global head, Hilton Hotels & Resorts.

Ranging from 36-sq-m to 202-sq-m, all 223 spacious guest rooms and suites feature locally inspired contemporary designs and views of the Han River. The hotel’s executive floor rooms offer exclusive access to the 27th floor lounge, where guests can enjoy complimentary breakfast, all-day refreshments and panoramic views of the city.

With a total of 725-sq-m dedicated to flexible meeting spaces, Hilton Da Nang offers eight meeting rooms and a grand ballroom, which can accommodate up to 500 guests. Each meeting space comes fully equipped with the latest audio-visual equipment, LED screens and high-speed wi-fi to ensure events run smoothly and seamlessly.

In addition to a 24-hour gym and a heated outdoor swimming pool overlooking the Han River, Hilton Da Nang also offers three dining options:

• Brasserie Nam, an all-day dining restaurant, offers a creative menu with locally sourced ingredients, featuring Western, Asian and Vietnamese specialties. Guests can select between indoor and outdoor seating for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

With a menu featuring classic grill options, local and Mediterranean inspired bites and a comprehensive wine list, guests can look forward to dining or lounging in style.

“We look forward to welcoming our first guests and are confident that Hilton Da Nang will delight both business and leisure travellers alike with its spacious rooms, state-of-the-art facilities, great culinary options, and impeccable service,” said Jesper Bach Larsen, general manager, Hilton Da Nang.
