Raymond, Jan 2025
Pros (+) Truly the highlight of our two weeks in the region. From the moment we arrived at the pier the staff was fantastic, especially to our young daughter. We just came from staying at a Four Seasons and the staff at La Residence far exceeded what we experienced there. The rooms, restaurant and ground are also perfect - the location is ideal for exploring Luang Prabang but retreating after dark to relax...
Cons (-) Nothing, everything was perfect, the staff in particular really stood out.

Pros (+) A beautiful hotel seeped in history - on the site of the royal residence and where young princes used to fly their kites. It’s not the most modern given the building is of an era but it’s wonderfully evocative and has an infinity pool with unbeatable views. The staff are exceptional and anticipate all needs (dietary eg GF and vegan, as well as other things guests may want) but without being stuffy...
Cons (-) We decided to organise our own excursions rather than go with the hotel ones as the mark up seemed a lot.

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 comfo...
Cons (-) I cannot think of any areas for improvement. We had an idyllic stay.

Pros (+) Gorgeous property overlooking the valley and town. Staff/ service is wonderful. Also enjoyed the pool and delicious food. We had a lovely suite with a huge balcony and separate bedroom & living room in which they set up 2 extra beds for our kids. It was definitely spacious enough for the 4 of us.
Cons (-) You do need transportation to get to the old city center - the hotel offered a shuttle. Offering a yoga session for guests in the morning would have been the cherry on top in this beautiful setting.
