Hotel Comparison · Da Nang
InterContinental vs Pullman Da Nang
The most dramatic resort in the city against the most polished large hotel on the main beach strip. Not really competing for the same trip.
Hotel A
InterContinental Sun Peninsula
Hotel B
Pullman Danang Beach Resort
Editor's Pick
InterContinental Sun Peninsula
Why It Wins
Pullman is easier and costs about $80-100 less a night. But the InterContinental is the hotel worth building a Da Nang trip around. The Bai Bac cove setting, La Maison 1888, and the sheer architectural ambition put it in a different category, one Pullman was never trying to compete in.

The Property
InterContinental
Pullman
The InterContinental terraces down a forested headland to its own cove, connected by funiculars. Pullman sits flat on the main My Khe strip with a beach bar and cabana setup built for a straightforward, sociable beach holiday. Different ambitions entirely.
InterContinental, Up Close
The Pool
The Rooms
The cliff-edge infinity pool and Bensley-designed rooms are the two things guests remember most about a stay here. Pullman's rooms are generous and well-appointed from roughly 45 sqm, comfortable rather than a design statement.
Match the hotel to your trip
Book InterContinental If You Want:
- The most impressive resort setting in Da Nang
- A private, sheltered cove instead of a shared beach strip
- MICHELIN-recognized dining on property
- A couples or adults-only trip where price isn't the deciding factor
Book Pullman If You Want:
- Direct access to the main My Khe Beach strip
- An easy 15-minute run to An Thuong's restaurants
- Better kids facilities and a family-friendly layout
- Roughly $80-100 less per night than the InterContinental
The honest tradeoffs
InterContinental Sun Peninsula
Watch Out For- ~35 minutes to An Thuong, every off-property dinner costs a taxi both ways
- Limited kids facilities, this is an adult-focused resort
- Premium pricing extends to in-resort food and drink
Pullman Danang Beach Resort
Watch Out For- No standout architectural moment, competent rather than memorable
- No MICHELIN-level restaurant on site
- My Khe's main strip is busier and less exclusive than a private cove
Final Verdict
Which one should you actually book?
The InterContinental is the better hotel, full stop. The architecture, the cove, La Maison 1888, the cliff-edge pool, it's a more exceptional property than Pullman was ever trying to be.
Pullman is the more practical choice for most travelers. It costs $80-100 less a night, it's a 15-minute Grab to dinner instead of 35, and the My Khe setup is more conventional and better for families.
If budget isn't the deciding factor and you're traveling as a couple, book the InterContinental. If you have kids or want daily city access, Pullman makes more sense.
