A magical place. Following an intense work period and long journey, i arrive at Belmond to welcoming smiles and drumming. Gracious and affable check-in is followed by a Baci ceremony where the shaman explained the Laotian belief that a soul could leave one’s body (it had) and by ritual we restored our souls do ourselves. Then through the beautifully gardened grounds to a large, luxuriously appointed room with a view of the Luang Prabang valley. Terrific made to order breakfasts (not a buffet) including Laotian, Eastern, and Western dishes is eagerly and proudly served by the familial staff. Had cocktails and delicious snacks at the weekly cocktail party talking with very interesting life of the general manager (Salim?) The social and the quiet pools are fantastic, the massage great. Peng, the bartender who doesn’t drink, stirred up interesting concoctions. An ap and a van made everything easy. I applaud Belmond for aiding Myanmar staff with opportunities in Laos while that country is stressed. The staff was more welcoming than my own mother on a trip home. Not only did the beauty and friendliness return a weary travelers would to his body, but the experience elevated my spirit. A remarkable place of warm-hearted, inviting people. Highly Recommend.

Great service

Beautiful place not far from downtown. The service was outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. There is shuttle into town but if they were free they would drop you any time. Food was excellent as well.

Setting, property are amazing. Spa (main reason we stayed here) was really nice. Food unfortunately was a let down, much below standard of some of the nicer Lao restaurants in town (Manda de Laos in particular). Telephones were also down which did not really bother us but a bit strange for a 5*+ property. Next time would probably just go to the Spa and stay in town or at rosewood.

Fantastic Experience

The location was perfect. The views were great. The hotel was beautiful. Our room was so beautiful and clean. We felt very relaxed and comfortable. The food was excellent. The service and the staff were the best. They were always attentive and happy to help us in any way. We would definitely recommend the Belmond La Residence Phou Vao in Luang Prabang, Laos.

Pampered in the mountains!

The staff couldn’t have been more helpful and attentive. Loved the views of the mountains and relaxing afternoons by the pool. Best champagne breakfasts ever. Clean facilitates. Great cooking class. Luang Prabang has lots to offer but the hotel makes it hard to leave. Hoping to return soon.
