La Residence Phou Vao Hotel: The Best Hotel in Luang Prabang, Laos

Embark on a captivating adventure to Laos and discover Buddhist culture and untouched scenery-- washed by the Mekong River, the lifeblood of Southeast Asia. Home to the Golden Buddha, the World Heritage town of Luang Prabang is a sight to behold: the surrounding mountains dotted with pagodas and stupas. The place to stay is La Résidence Phou Vao Hotel, the luxury spa hotel from the Orient-Express group that's universally adored for its warm hospitality.
