Sofitel Luang Prabang  

In the heart of Luang Prabang, on a heritage site once home to the French governor. Steps from the Night Market, Morning Market, Mount Phu Si and Wat Xieng Thong, and about 15 minutes from the airport, this 5-star all-suite hotel sits within easy walking distance of the city center.

Colonial grandeur meets Lao motifs across large courtyards, landscaped gardens and a reflecting pool. Suites are individually styled and many have private furnished patios, gardens or plunge pools, deep soaking tubs and plush bedding. Interiors nod to French elegance with local artwork and fireplaces, while a library and relaxed public spaces offer quiet retreats.

Dip into an outdoor pool or unwind at a full-service spa with steam rooms and signature treatments. Stay active in the fitness center or yoga area, then sip at the poolside bar or relax in garden courtyards. Concierge and a tour desk make exploring the Mekong and local markets easy, and roundtrip airport transfers are available for a surcharge.

Conference and meeting facilities with about 818 sq ft of event space, a business center and express check-in. Complimentary wireless internet and limo/town car service help keep business smooth.

Gourmet dining blends Lao and French influences — enjoy Modern European and steakhouse menus with garden views at the Governor's Grill, plus a café for coffee and lighter bites. Continental breakfast is served each morning (fee applies), and limited room service and a poolside bar round out the food and drink options.
