Sofitel Luang Prabang Hotel

Located in Ban Mano, a quiet residential quarter of Luang Prabang, the all-suite hotel is an elegant fusion of Far Eastern exoticism and colonial French splendour indoors and out, with interiors highlighted by stately columns, and a lush inner courtyard where swaying palms and wildflowers recall the verdant Lao countryside and pink water lilies float idly on the reflection pond.    When the town beckons with its richness of one-of-a-kind experiences and encounters, guests are only a 5-minute drive or 15-minute stroll from the heritage Old Town, and golf courses, silk weaving villages and waterfalls await less than 30 minutes from the hotel.    Here in this idyllic tropical setting, the Sofitel Luang Prabang saw infinite opportunities to create unforgettable guest experiences, always inspired by the essence of the locale, and creatively imagined through a sophisticated French lens, reflecting the Sofitel passion for the new French art de vivre and luxurious hospitality. It is a process that begins with embracing and honouring the local culture through artwork and events, and extends to showcasing the finest in gastronomy complemented by classic French techniques, expressing a dedication to the art of wellness, and revealing a never-ending appreciation for both heritage and contemporary design.Arranged around the perimeter of the private botanical garden, the 25 clay-roofed suites reflect the prevailing tone of elegance and sophistication. The red of the Royal Poinciana trees on the riverbanks reappears on throw pillows and in accents around the room. Throughout, the time-honoured arts of the destination reveal themselves in hand-woven textiles, delicate pottery and precious antiques collected from travels around Indochina.
