Style Pared down colonial
Setting Quiet residential quarter
Blending colonial charm with contemporary style, sleek boutique Hôtel de la Paix Luang Prabang offers a simple but seductive update on Lao tradition. Sun-kissed courtyards, shimmering pools and frangipani-fragrant gardens make this secluded all-suite retreat in the Ban Mano quarter a real Luang Prabang treat, with an indulgent spa, fine dining and a cooking school to boot. Set in a Unesco-protected former mansion, which also served time as a detention centre, its elegant high-ceilinged rooms and lofty watchtowers pay homage to its intriguing past.
