Luang Prabang Laos - Mekong Riverview Hotel

Travelers journey to Luang Prabang for the atmospheric old town, the beautiful river traversed countryside, and perhaps most of all to mingle with the gentle Laotian people. In a wonderful way the owner Urban Paulsson, his manager Daniel, and quite literally the entire hotel staff provide an exceptionally hospitable stay that perfectly compliments the local vibe. It is a hotel you will be quite sad to leave, and guaranteed to be one you will wish to soon return. We will.

Dining Tip: L'Elephant - This stylish bistro offers outstanding dining in Luang Prabang. Run by French expats, the excellent kitchen provides delicious meals in a classic high-ceilinged French colonial building.

Reading tip: The Coroner's Lunch by Colin Cotterill - If you are unfamiliar with this series, you are in for a treat. The perfect books to read in Laos. This is the first Dr. Siri Paiboun mystery, which introduces the delightful old man conscripted in 1975 to become the chief medical examiner of Laos.
