In the ancient capital of Laos is a resort of extraordinary brilliance—Belmond La Résidence Phou Vao is shrouded in leafy wonderment high atop the Hill of Kites in Luang Prabang. With views of colliding rivers, soaring mountains, and ancient temples, this luxury resort embraces its Asian history and French influences. The collection of rooms and suites are exquisitely appointed eschewing ornate embellishments and opting for cleaner and more calming motifs. Terrazo baths, rich organic cottons, spacious surroundings and plush textiles are just a few of the unexpected pleasures concealed behind closed doors. Large picture windows frame seemingly airbrushed views of the breathtaking landscape.

I’ll start with a remark..ֶ The hotel is in a final stages of renovation making the place a “must’ for those of you. Who appreciate luxury , Tropical gardens , Panoramic Mountain View ,Gourmet dining and second to none Service. I had the pleasure to stay in one of those renovated suites with a private balcony facing the pool and the SunSet over the mountains. And it was a Wow experience iiii You can feel the Royal service given by all team under the management of Ms Parisa And the talent of the Chef Andrew Don’t miss a dinner there. This is the place to feel a blend of local experience of culture and history with comfort and luxury The hotel has all the luxury facilities (all in the website)

Everything here is just perfect! When we arrived at La Residence Phou Vao after our long journey, we were given a warm and friendly welcome. Our room was right above the pool, so we had views of both the mountains and the city. The rooms are perfectly furnished and the bathroom is spacious with a separate toilet. The location may seem a little remote at first, but it is pleasant because you can always retreat to an oasis of calm away from the hustle and bustle of the city. If you want to go somewhere, the limousine/shuttle service takes guests where they want to go and picks them up again on time. Breakfast is served and you can order anything else you want, as it is freshly prepared. Every member of staff pays special attention to the guests. We were looked after really well by Min (deputy F&B manager). You simply have to try his signature drink at the bar. The food served for dinner is delicious and the restaurant recommendations from the reception are all very good, so we wanted for nothing. Our visit to the spa was also worthwhile, and the massage was relaxing. All in all, it was a stay in Luang Prabang that we will never forget.

What amazing service in such a beautiful place. From the moment you arrive and are welcomed with refreshing moist towels, to the constant kind attention, this beautiful place, named for the kites royal children once flew, has a gorgeous property and amazing views. Makes meals, and lounging in the excellent infinity pool, truly relaxing. This is made exceptional by the wonderful people. (Don't miss the massages!)

We loved the relaxing ambiance of this hotel. The view from the restaurant added to the total calming atmosphere. Breakfast buffet was outstanding as was our group evening dinner. Staff were very customer focused. Room was traditional and comfortable. Mosquito nets around the bed added a nice tropical touch.

Stayed 5 nights at La Résidence Phou Vao and loved it. The hilltop view over Luang Prabang and the mountains is next-level — I woke up early just to sit by the pool and watch the sunrise. My room was quiet, bed super comfy. The staff were the standout: kind, genuine, and on it. They helped with rides, gave easy tips for places to eat, and even remembered my coffee order. Breakfast was good, spa was worth it, and it’s a quick ride into town when you want the night market. Peaceful spot to come back to. Would happily stay again
