Frequently Asked Questions
How far are these hotels from the airport?
Listings give about 38 to 41 minutes from Hanoi's Noi Bai airport, 24 to 27 minutes from Ho Chi Minh City's Tan Son Nhat, and 12 to 26 minutes from Phu Quoc's airport. Hoi An has no airport of its own: the nearest is Da Nang International, about 45 to 50 minutes by car.
Is breakfast usually included?
It depends on the rate you book. Where listings show a separate buffet price, it ranges from about €12 per adult at Anatole and Fusion Suites to about €31 at the JW Marriott (Trip.com, October 2026). Check your rate before you pay.
Do these hotels ask for a security deposit?
The Luxury addresses usually do, according to their listings: about €69 per night at Vinpearl Landmark 81 and the JW Marriott, and a fixed amount of about €103 at Capella Hanoi. It is refunded after check-out.
Eight hotels, four regions, and the right months for each. The order of the stops matters as much as the hotels themselves.
