A former Laotian palace, the Maison Souvannaphoum Hotel is nowadays the perfect place for anyone who wants to feel pampered, just like royalty, in a unique corner of the Earth. Nestled in the charming town of Luang Prabang in north central Laos, this hotel beautifully mixes modern amenities and luxurious accommodations with the ancient history of the area, in the form of a one-of-a-kind riverside resort.
Luang Prabang was once the home of of Laos’ Prince Souvannaphouma and right now the village, turned town, and its palace-turned-hotel, are part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Maison Souvannaphoum Hotel will impress everyone with its elegant accommodations, going from rooms at the Garden Wing to original royal suites at La Residence.
The stunning outdoor pool and the hotel’s amazing spa are just a few steps away, and totally worth the ‘travel’. If you’re more of the explorer type, feel free to experience the cultural heritage of this former French colony, starting with the Elephant Blanc restaurant, where exciting French-Laotian fusion cuisine is served.
Surely, the Buddhist temples and monks of the nearby Namphou Square will impress and make your day, although several day treks, including a ride up the nearby Mekong River and a journey to Mount Phousi sound even more interesting. It’s a tough choice to decide what to do here, but you will be satisfied no matter where your feet take you.
