My Dream Resort

Right from the moment you set your pace at the grounds through a bamboo archway, you can realize that My Dream Resort embodies a charming calm. Rooms, which are decorated with delicate silver stenciling, cooled by white ceiling fans and illuminated by paper lanterns, are a model of minimalist chic. It is not a bad idea to spend your days bathing in the turquoise pool with its stunning backdrop of red hibiscus or lolling on the balconies that peer over the lush gardens of coconut palms, banana and teak, which roll down to the Nam Khan river. Depending on the season you come, when wanting to move, you can cycle a few minutes to the Dyen Sabai restaurant for lunch by the river before crossing the Nam Khan to downtown by boat or bridge or the 15 minutes to Luang Prabang via the old bridge.
Including bicycle use and airport transfer, it costs doubles from $60 B&B.
Belle Rive

Oozing French colonial charm, the Belle Rive is the kind of place where you imagine French flâneurs and a Lao prince, Graham Greene mingling on the terrace over a glass of lime and mint accompanied with harder liquor. Standing along the Mekong, three knockout houses of the Belle Rive including: Frangipani, Mango and Tamarind, have been resurrected and restored by six Germans who fell in love with the spectacular former royal capital of Laos. Not only having four-poster beds with yellow ribbons and dove grey drapes, hand painted bathroom sinks and chaises longues, all of the glamorous rooms are scented with rosewood. In some quirkier rooms, you can also find mezzanine bathrooms and bedrooms with saloon doors. Myanmar travel tours

Oui’s Guesthouse

They decorate all eight rooms of this old Lao house with textile wall hangings: one an embroidered creation in blood red, silver and green and another vision of black, red and gold made by the Lao Lue people. You can have advice on how to get about town from Miss Oot, Miss Oet and Miss Oui, who prepare breakfast under the white awning. But and a book on the balcony overlooking the Nam Khan river or nip a Beerlao round the corner to the hidden Kiri bar for snacks and wine is the good way to kick back.

Sanctuary Hotel

Although set off a main road in manicured gardens that shield guests from the bustle and noise, the Sanctuary Hotel is a tranquil haven at close walking distance from the popular restaurants, boutiques and temples of downtown. Once belonged to the Lao royal family, much of the handsome architecture still has a stately air about the place. The huge first-floor deluxe rooms are adorned with black-and-white photos of Laos’ ethnic minorities and bamboo furniture. Sipping sundowners on the deck in the central lotus pond seems to be the best way to relax after a long day wandering the town and temples.
