The private car route from Da Nang International Airport to the classic Azerai La Residence Hue is about 100 km. It crosses the Hai Van area and the Central Vietnam coast, and brings you to the calm south bank of the Perfume River after about 2 hours of smooth riding. A private transfer lets you decide your own departure time, keeps the journey private for the whole family and spares you the worry of moving bulky luggage between vehicles.

Located at 5 Le Loi Street, Azerai La Residence is a heritage building in the Art Deco style, built in the 1930s. Standing right on the Perfume River and facing the Hue Citadel, it can be reached by a private car that drives you straight to the steps of the old mansion without any complicated change of vehicle on the way.

A 100 km intercity journey linking two heritage regions

The road connecting Da Nang and the ancient capital of Hue is today one of the main modern transport arteries of Central Vietnam:

  • Crossing the Hai Van range through the tunnel: from the airport or central Da Nang, the car runs quickly along Nguyen Tat Thanh street, then joins National Highway 1A and goes straight into Hai Van 2 road tunnel. Passing through the mountain takes less than 10 minutes on a level, airy road, so passengers avoid car sickness and fatigue.
  • Lang Co coast and the road tunnels: leaving the Hai Van Tunnel you see Lang Co Bay and Lap An Lagoon. The car runs on smoothly through Phu Gia and Phuoc Tuong tunnels, avoiding the steep bends of the old Highway 1A.
  • Entering central Hue: after the Cau Hai junction and the Phu Loc area, the car approaches the southern gateway of Hue and turns onto the Hung Vuong – Le Loi axis lined with old rain trees. The driver brings the car into the leafy grounds of Azerai La Residence and stops directly in front of the main reception.

Arriving at the Art Deco mansion on the Perfume River

Azerai La Residence has a distinctive historic and artistic value, with its soft curves, round balconies and tropical garden:

  • Drop-off at the main steps: the entrance is designed as an elegant stone-paved roundabout. A 4-, 7- or 16-seat car can enter and leave easily, and the hotel’s luggage staff greet you at the car door and carry all your belongings up to the room for check-in.
  • A relaxed place to rest: after about 2 hours on the highway, you can take your time over tea in the lounge and look out over the gentle Perfume River and the riverside garden of the hotel.
  • A flexible start time: whether your flight lands early in the morning, at midday or in the late afternoon, Sun Travel arranges the car for your agreed time so that the journey to the ancient capital runs smoothly.

Combining visits to the royal sites on the way to the hotel

If you reach Hue in the morning or early afternoon, before check-in time, adding a few well-known sights on the way (alongside our Hue Imperial City visitor guide) is a sensible solution:

  • Khai Dinh Tomb (Ung Tomb): on the slope of Chau Chu mountain, about 3 km from National Highway 1A, the tomb is an East–West architectural blend with characteristic ceramic-and-porcelain mosaic work. The car can stop for about an hour so you can climb the stepped terraces and visit Thien Dinh Palace.
  • Tu Duc Tomb (Khiem Tomb): about 6 km south-west of the city centre, the Tu Duc tomb has an architectural setting in harmony with the landscape of Luu Khiem Lake, the lakeside pavilions and a pine hill.
  • Hue food: you can ask the driver to stop at a local eatery for bun bo or banh khoai before you check in.

Just note your planned stops in your booking request so dispatch can allow a sensible time frame and the driver can prepare as well as possible.

Choosing the right vehicle for a long trip

For a 100 km journey to stay comfortable and keep your strength for the holiday, the right vehicle matters:

  • 4-seat car (upper-segment sedan): for 2 adults with 2 standard suitcases. Models such as the Toyota Vios, Honda City or Mazda 3 are kept clean, with strong air conditioning, giving couples a quiet and private cabin.
  • 7-seat car (roomy SUV / MPV): the ideal choice for families of 3 to 5 with 3 or 4 large pieces of luggage. Models such as the Toyota Fortuner, Innova or Mitsubishi Xpander have a high seating position, smooth suspension and wide views along the tunnel-and-pass road.
  • 16-seat van (Ford Transit / Hyundai Solati): for groups of friends, business parties or multi-generation families of 6 to 12. The van has a high roof, a convenient central aisle, reclining seats and a roomy rear hold for all the group’s large suitcases.
