La Résidence Phou Vao

風景可以，老牌酒店了 雖然出售了 但是服務依然在線 特別推薦去泳池餐廳吃飯 味道不錯 是唯一可以看到老撾著名景點山的酒店

應該還不錯吧

If one is fortunate to travel with any frequency I think it is inevitable that you can become a bit jaded. Hotels, whilst usually of a high standard, can become a bit samey. That for me was the main reason why staying at La Residence was such a joy. Service standards in all settings are superb with staff exuding a genuine warmth that surpassed anything I’ve encountered before even by the high standards of the Far East. Nothing is too much trouble for them. The restaurant serves Lao and western food with a charming bar for pre and post prandial drinks. Rooms are well appointed. Excellent curated tours are available to explore local sites in comfort with knowledgeable guides. If the above resonates with you make La Residence your go to hotel to explore charming Luang Prabang.

It’s always good to be able to say that with hindsight, we chose the right accommodation. For our five-night stay, this was definitely a very special experience. It is conveniently located for daily explorations, but set apart from town atop a hill. When we returned after an activity, we appreciated the gracious peaceful feel of the hotel and grounds as well as the warm welcome from the staff. From the open-air restaurant and pool we enjoyed gazing across the mountains while seeing reflections in the tranquil pool. We booked the mountain pool view junior suite (room 502) and we also had this expansive view from our spacious room and balcony. We enjoyed the serenity of the meditation garden with an outdoor pavilion. The restaurant meals - breakfast buffet, lunch and dinners were flavorful and yummy. The bar offered alcoholic and non-alcoholic alternatives as well as local concoctions that were fun to try. What really made this a beautiful and relaxing stay was the warmth of the staff who greeted us and made us feel so welcome and cared for.

We had two nights here and it’s a beautiful resort. Staff are friendly, professional and accommodating. The restaurant is lovely although there are some great choices in town which is about 2 kms away. Two swimming pools are lovely and warm with the main one, a horizon aspect the pick. Rooms are a little dated and air con wasn’t working when we arrived but all sorted, we were able to enjoy a good nights sleep. Gym is small but serviceable. Certainly one of the top three hotels in Luang Prabang.

The hotel is located on top of a hill overlooking Luang Prabang and used to be owned by the Lao Royal Family. It is beautifully laid out and furnished. The infinity pool in the centre overlooking the hills and then the large dining room, bar and reception area is amazing. Our room was very spacious with a large outdoor space for reading and enjoying the beautiful view. The bed was incredibly comfortable and d the lounge and bathroom area very large and comfortable. However incredible the property itself is , and it really is, it is over-shadowed by the team that run the hotel and work there. Everyone we met was warm, kind and genuinely thoughtful. This was a big expense for us for our 20th wedding anniversary so all of the optional tours and experiences were tricky for us to afford but we never felt at all pressured to spend money. Only given great advice and really taken care of. The team were very open and all talked to us about their lives in Laos so gave us a broader understanding of the country we were visiting. Finally - I need to mention the food. We love good food and are lucky to live in Japan so eat a lot of very good food. The restaurant at Residence Phou Vau is exceptional. Everything we eat was made with the highest quality fresh ingredients and cooked to perfection. I tried to exercise every day so that I could eat more ;-) I cannot think of any areas for improvement. We had an idyllic stay.
