Luang Prabang


You can imagine Graham Greene writing under a wood-blade fan in the wicker-accented restaurant of this beautifully renovated French colonial-era building. Flanked by manicured lawns, a centrepiece jade swimming pool and dreamy spa and gym, suites here are capacious, with living room, four-poster beds and most featuring a private pool in their back garden. Surely Luang Prabang's finest hotel?

Substantial discounts are available in the low season.
