Son La Hotels: A Guide to Choosing Accommodation in the 'Paradise' of Moc Chau & Son La City
Are you visiting Son La to immerse yourself in the lush green tea hills, the pristine white mustard flower valleys of Moc Chau plateau? Or are you here for a trip back to the source, to visit the historical Son La prison relic and feel the imprint of a heroic era?
The choice of a Son La hotel depends entirely on your answer. Son La province has two tourist "hearts" located far apart, each with its own beauty and story.

To make your trip complete, please remember the sincere advice from Local Tour Guide.
- Moc Chau Flower Season – Book Months in Advance! Based on our experience organizing flower hunting tours, we recommend booking at least 1 month in advance if you plan to visit during the mustard flower season (November-December) or plum blossom season (January-February). Especially on weekends, Moc Chau is always "fully booked."
- Don't Confuse the Distance! A common mistake many tourists make is thinking Moc Chau and Son La City are close to each other. Remember that these two places are more than 120km apart. Book your accommodation where your itinerary takes you.
