Long Son Pagoda is Nha Trang's most important Buddhist temple, a colourful complex of mosaic dragon staircases, courtyards, and prayer halls dominated by a 24-metre white Buddha statue on the hilltop above the city that is one of Nha Trang's most recognisable landmarks and provides panoramic views over the city and bay. The pagoda was built in 1886 and reconstructed after storm damage, and the monks resident in the grounds are hospitable to respectful visitors. Hotels in Nha Trang are within a short taxi or motorbike ride of Long Son Pagoda.
Our Picks — Nha Trang
Tran Phu Beachfront
A glossy, big-city take on a beach escape, InterContinental Nha Trang sits right on Tran Phu with front-row bay views and a calm, cosmopolitan hush once you step inside. Expect spacious, contemporary rooms, a resort-style pool terrace, and a service culture tuned for long-stay comfort as much as weekend splurges.
Tran Phu Beachfront
One of Nha Trang’s defining high-rises, the Sheraton pairs contemporary rooms with wide-open ocean vistas and a famously social rooftop scene. Between the beachfront address, strong wellness set-up, and multiple restaurants and bars, it’s a classic ‘do-it-all’ base for first-timers who want the city at their doorstep.
Tran Phu Beachfront (near 2/4 Square)
Anchored to the Vincom Plaza complex on Tran Phu, Vinpearl Beachfront is a sleek, high-volume favorite that nails location and views. Rooms climb high above the promenade for sunrise-over-the-bay drama, while the amenity mix—pool, dining, and easy shopping access—makes it especially effortless for families and groups.
Tran Phu Beachfront (central)
Havana is a lively, full-service tower that leans into Nha Trang’s after-dark energy with nightlife-friendly amenities and a big-resort feel. The draw is simple: a prime address near the promenade, plenty of facilities (pool, spa, dining), and high-floor rooms that turn the bay into a nightly light show.
Tran Phu Beachfront (near Trầm Hương Tower)
Novotel Nha Trang is the dependable, design-forward choice for travelers who want international consistency without losing the ocean. Many rooms come with balconies angled to the bay, and the hotel’s fitness-and-spa line-up plus beach-view dining make it an easy, weeklong base in the heart of the action.
Hon Chong Beach
Set across from Hon Chong Beach, Navada Beach Hotel delivers the kind of value Nha Trang is famous for: airy rooms, big sea views, and a polished finish at wallet-friendly rates. It’s especially appealing for travelers who want a quieter stretch of sand while staying a short ride from the downtown buzz.
