Sofitel is located well away from the hubbub of the city and hence was an ideal oasis of calm and serenity for our relaxing holiday. The staff Sou, Sarin & Unni attended to our every need and just made our stay extra special with their attention to detail. The perfectly manicured gardens were such a joy to walk through everyday.

William R. Friends - 3/9/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

The Sofitel at Luang Prabang is a unique luxury resort that is well located for sightseeing in the city yet still remaining in an extraordinarily beautiful setting. Sofitel is known for its customer service and I’ve stayed at several of their properties, but even this location exceeded those standards. From the moment we checked in, Nouy, essentially became our concierge arranging for tours, transportation, all the hotel, amenities, spa, etc. Her efforts were above and beyond. All the staff around the clock, whether it was Mei, Leng, Yai and Chan, were so absolutely accommodating and pleasant. They are true professionals and ambassadors of the Sofitel brand. The spa facility is absolute gorgeous, and their masseuses, Dar and Took, are absolutely top-tier. Even the groundskeeper, Thongvanh, was so diligent in making our stay wonderful. Laos and Luang Prabang were an absolute wonderful visit, but I would specifically go back just to stay at this resort just as a destination.

Dear William R., Thank you very much for your wonderful review following your stay at Sofitel Luang Prabang. We are truly delighted to read that your experience with us was so memorable. It is especially rewarding to know that our location and the serene setting of the resort allowed you to enjoy both the charm of Luang Prabang and the tranquility of our grounds. Creating this balance for our guests is something we take great pride in. Your kind recognition of our team means a great deal to us. I will be very pleased to share your generous compliments with Nouy, Mei, Leng, Yai, Chan, as well as Dar, Took, and Thongvanh. They will be incredibly proud to know that their dedication and warm hospitality helped make your stay so special. At Sofitel, we strive to deliver heartfelt and personalized service, and it is truly rewarding to hear that our team exceeded your expectations. We are also delighted that you enjoyed the spa facilities and the peaceful beauty of the resort. It is wonderful to know that your visit to Laos and Luang Prabang was such a memorable one, and it means a lot to us that you would consider returning just to stay with us again. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back to Sofitel Luang Prabang for another exceptional stay in the near future. With warm regards, Chanbormey LENG (Mei) Cluster Front Office Manager Sofitel Luang Prabang & 3 Nagas Luang Prabang
