Conjuring the colonial-era heyday of Luang Prabang, this sophisticated all-suite hotel consists of six French-accented buildings set amid verdant gardens a short tuk-tuk ride southwest of the city. Furnishings are sumptuous and there's an inviting swimming pool. The Belle Epoque Restaurant is considered one of the top dining destinations in town.
If you're here around Christmas time (when it's really cool), head to the 1861 Bar decked out like a hunting lodge with a fire and plenty of malt whiskies.
