Sofitel Luang Prabang

My wife and I stayed at Sofitel for my birthday. She organized it as a surprise. She had rented a private garden villa with a bathtub for one night. We went there as soon as we could check in so we could enjoy the room as much as possible. The room was very beautiful and when we arrived were offered welcome snacks and drinks. We spent most of our time in the large bathtub that has more than enough space for two people. It wasn’t too hot that day, so sitting outside in the tub was a perfect alternative to swimming in a pool. The garden made us feel like we were in our own private house. The staff was exceptionally friendly and professional. I didn’t know it at the time, but my wife was sending WhatsApp messages to arrange other surprises like a private dinner by the pool. I’m not going to mention everything, because it might spoil it for other people. We want to thank Mr. Toui and Ms. Pookie for organizing everything and taking such good care for us. All I can say is that the food they served was delicious, and we felt very special during our entire stay. I’m looking forward to coming back.

First impression, when you arrive at the hotel, you're more likely to think of something mediocre... but once up the stairs, you know, this is going to be more than okay here... Once checked in... one level down, behind a wooden wall, you enter a beautiful courtyard with villas in colonial style all around. Actually it is a restored monumental mansion and a mix of laotian and french style. Each villa has two spacious rooms, the master bedroom with double bed and canopy has a small lounge, spacious bathroom, very nice outdoor bath, the other room with separate beds is almost the same, only the lounge is a bit smaller... The food is good, the wine list ok, the prices are European rather than local and some dishes are rather on the small side... But the staff is extremely friendly and do everything they can to satisfy the guests' needs. Sometimes you have to ask more than twice before you get what you asked, but in this post Covid period (the country hasn't been open again for so long and it's now the end of the rainy season) you understand that they may not yet are the well-oiled machine of yesteryear. We forgive them with a smile. Other recommendations are certainly the massages and the restaurant 3 Nagas a bit further in the city, which also belongs to the same group. The dishes are delicious! Definitely first drinking a cocktail in the building opposite the restaurant, also belongs to the 3 Nagas. You can also pay by signing on your room number from the Sofitel itself. All in all we loved staying here and if we were ever back in Luang Prabang we will definitely come back here! Our appreciation and thanks to the whole staff!

We had a lovely time in Luang Prabang, which was accentuated by the warm welcome of the Sofitel staff. Everyone, from the front desk, restaurant, kitchen, housekeeping and spa, was very friendly, professional and always helpful. The ambiance and serenity of the hotel are a perfect getaway to resource and regenerate oneself. The staff make you feel at home and comfortable. Cannot wait to go back!

Nice vintage design with good condition room and public area. Beautiful garden, Small number of guest rooms. Not so far away from the city center. Good food, Excellent service, Helpful and informative staffs,

I really enjoyed my stay at Sofitel Luang Prabang although it was short. I loved the design, the garden, the food and most of all the staff. It is completely relaxing and refreshing. I missed the spa but will definitely come back. The hotel has a very good restaurant with a small library with old books in French and English. It was beautiful feeling to enjoy the drink while reading book with a full view of the garden.
