Tranquil Heritage in the Heart of Luang Prabang
What it is
A serene resort in a historic French colonial building in Luang Prabang, Laos. It offers a sublime blend of colonial architecture and Lao cultural heritage. The resort is within walking distance of the Mekong River and the town's famous night market.
What it isn't
