Vietnam works best as a structured itinerary with clear reasoning at each stop. Hanoi opens the cultural chapter — Capella Hanoi is the landmark stay and the property that changed what the market expected from the city.

The coastal corridor — Da Nang, Nha Trang — requires careful property selection to avoid volume-resort positioning.
