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.

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.

Relaxing retreat in classy hotel in laidback LP
Terrific long weekend "escape" to Luang Prabang. Enjoyed biking around the town and lazily floating down the Mekong in a boat. The hotel is perfect...just far enough from town to be quiet and peaceful but close enough to explore the UNESCO World Heritage town. Hotel provides mountain bikes and "family" bikes. Has a beautiful pool where you can escape the humidity/heat during the day. And the food at the hotel was some of the best I've had in SE Asia. I had a lovely room overlooking the town in the distance, and I enjoyed reading on the porch in Thai-style lounge sofas on a lazy afternoon or the one morning when it softly rained. I went jogging each morning down the river and through the town. In the evenings I rode a bike into town to have a foot massage and eat dinner at one of the many lantern-lit cafes along the river.
