Emanating from a waterfall, a river flows through the heart of Rosewood Luang Prabang, soundtracking your stay with flowing water. Located on the periphery of Luang Prabang and clasped by emerald forest, the property is the perfect place to slow into the unhurried rhythms of Laos.
An exclusive hideaway, choose from just 23 suites, each bordering the river and boasting a design aesthetic that nods to Indochina’s golden age of travel. Rosewood Luang Prabang also carries Bill Bensley’s signature (The “Willy Wonka of hotel design”), so expect individually styled, whimsical-maximalist interiors. Guests who want to be closest to the amenities of The Great House and the pool should stay in a Riverside Suite/Room. Alternatively, three Riverside Villas offer an oversized balcony with an inviting day bed, enveloped by gardens and soundtracked by babbling water. Couples will appreciate the privacy of the Waterfall Villas’ private plunge pools, outdoor bathtubs, and riverfront ambiance. Situated at the southeast hem of the property, 10 reclusive Hilltop Tents are tucked into a secluded hillside. Balconies with generous seating look out upon verdant rolling hills.
On property, you’ll find the handsome Great House presiding over the pool. Designed in stately French Laotian style and lantern-lit after dark, it’s where you will take fashionable breakfasts. When visiting Luang Prabang during the hotter months, make use of the small but refreshing oval pool; there are plenty of parasol-shaded sun beds and a few elevated, tented cabanas to relax in. Marshmallow roasting and lawn games add a dash of whimsy. When it’s time for an ambient, pre-dinner tipple, head to the Elephant Bridge Bar. Constructed of rich, moody hardwoods and hand-carved adornments, the bar stretches across the river and looks upon the falls. If Sense Spa calls your name, follow a secretive trail to reach a hillside tent wrapped in lush flora and threaded by streams. Treatments use herbs grown in the spa garden and draw on traditional Lao remedies and massage techniques.
Rosewood Luang Prabang is an elegant choice for travelers who prefer to stay close to, but not in, town.
