La Résidence Phou Vao

This property is one of the most magnificent places I’ve stayed in. The staff are incredibly helpful especially Chantee (driver and bell boy), Lae (restaurant) and Mae (front desk) (I hope I’ve spelt their names right). The rooms were magnificent with massive balconies and a great view of the mountains. The location is perfect within walking distance of everything you want. The facilities like the pool are amazing and the gardens are so beautiful. The restaurant run by Ming is awesome with great food and fantastic range of local and foreign drinks and cuisine. This hotel is awesome!

Luxurious rooms in an exceptional property in a great location overlooking Luang Prabang. Staff treated us like royalty, food was outstanding, lots of extras provided to make us feel pampered.

Our stay was absolutely fantastic, an over the top 6 star experience. Andrei and his staff were so friendly and anticipated our every need. The facilities and grounds are beautiful and tranquil and the dining was extraordinary. We were only here 3 nights and wish it had been longer.

The hotel staff was amazing.

Flawless. A perfect stay. The staff is amazing, the hotel is beautiful, food is fantastic. Rooms are comfortable, spa therapies are excellent. We really had a wonderful time at this wonderful hotel. But again, I have to say… the incredible staff makes a difference!

Tranquility and exceptional service

Staff, personalized service, food, view from te pool.

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 and debrief over cocktails. We are already discussing a return for next winter.

レセプション、レストラン、ドライバーさん、全てのスタッフの対応がフレンドリーで良かったです。
朝食のカオソーイ（ベジタリアン仕様）もすごくおいしかったです。

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. The new manager Parisa is a warm welcoming presence. There is a complementary buggy service into Luang Prabang centre (5-6 mins drive) which is super useful. We stayed 6 nights and were sad to go.

Amazing service, excellent food and beautiful location. The staff made the effort to memorise our name and habits which we really appreciated!

The hotel is located on top of a hill overlooking Luang Prabang and used to be owned by the Lao Royal Family. It is beautifully laid out and furnished. 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 comfortable and d the lounge and bathroom area very large and comfortable.
However incredible the property itself is , and it really is, it is over-shadowed by the team that run the hotel and work there. Everyone we met was warm, kind and genuinely thoughtful.
This was a big expense for us for our 20th wedding anniversary so all of the optional tours and experiences were tricky for us to afford but we never felt at all pressured to spend money.
Only given great advice and really taken care of.
The team were very open and all talked to us about their lives in Laos so gave us a broader understanding of the country we were visiting.
Finally - I need to mention the food. We love good food and are lucky to live in Japan so eat a lot of very good food. The restaurant at Residence Phou Vau is exceptional. Everything we eat was made with the highest quality fresh ingredients and cooked to perfection. I tried to exercise every day so that I could eat more ;-)

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.

Everything :) Great place. Good and Professional staff.

素晴らしい大人のリゾート。街の喧騒からはなれ、静かにくつろげます。街から少し離れてはいるけれど、車で10分弱で便利。スタッフは親切で優秀です。

A truly peaceful, serene, beautiful property. A private residence indeed. Excellent staff and service. Food delicious. Interesting tours provided.
The best in Luang Prabang.

Everything was amazing especially the staff
Really attentive
Location perfect
Ambience/peace and tranquility

Our stay at La Residence was nothing short of spectacular. It's indeed a hidden gem that deserves all the praise it receives.

From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, every aspect of our stay exceeded our expectations. The staff truly went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. We definitely recommend the sunset river cruise on the Mekong River; we had such an incredible time. The cooking class with Chef Larissa was a very special activity as well.

Our stay was unforgettable, one that will stay with us for the rest of our lives. The exceptional service, luxurious accommodations, and attention to detail made it a truly special vacation. We left feeling relaxed and totally rejuvenate :-). Thank you to the entire staff for making our stay so memorable. We can't wait to return!
