A Refuge and Culinary Paradise in Luang Prabang”

The Hotel Luang Prabang is a splendid refuge in Luang Prabang. The rooms are spacious (belying its origins as a colonial prison), beautifully designed, and immaculately kept. Some rooms offer less light than others; however, the heat is a good reason to err on the side of 'dark'. As I was staying for 9 nights and planned to work for much of my visit, I was upgraded to one of the Heritage rooms that provided the right balance of windows and shade for my taste. I enjoyed the quality amenities; however, the most amazing feature of the rooms here are the beds, quite simply the most comfortable I've ever had. The kitchen is simply superlative and the staff knowledgable and accommodating to my vegetarian diet. While Luang Prabang has an abundance of restaurants, many of which are good, I kept returning to the Hotel as nothing else came close to its offerings. A lovely pool with ample interesting places to sit, both outside and inside, and spa round out the features of this property. The property, however lovely, would mean nothing without the warm, professional service offered by the young staff. I can't wait to return!

great place”

It is a peacefull heaven. 3 min away from the main street of Luang Prabang. But it is in a private sanctuary. Great pool and surroundings. I was using bicycles to go to town. It is a super relax and slow-town. A detox for the mind. No known brands. friendly people. I have looked at Aman and La Residance Phou Whao as visitor. Aman is bigger and in is in a busier area. La residance is getting old. Sofitel is the best choice for being brand new and value. It exceeds others.

Stunning hotel and friendly service”

This is an absolutely gorgeous hotel near central Luang Prabang. While not in the main part of the city, it is an easy walk. The hotel grounds are stunning and the rooms match. Our room was large, airy and very comfortable, with a huge plunge pool in the back. The common areas are equally nice. The main pool was one of the nicest I've seen and I love the way that the hotel is laid out with a central courtyard. The staff was always available, attentive and helpful. We ordered room service our first night and had an excellent meal sent to our room quickly. We also enjoyed the hotel bar. The staff assisted in arranging nearby excursions and made sure that we were well looked after and happy at all times.

Nirvana in Luang Prabang”

You will get very warn welcome at first by foot massage before check-in. Every staff really kind and helpful, especially Miss Pukky. Room is big and well decoration as good as its price. They always have activities for guest everyday, such as story telling, cooking class, dance. The location may quite far from main landmark but It's not the problem. They have shuttle bus service between Siftel and 3Naka that located in The city. By far, this is absolutely the best hotel in Luang Prabang

Charm and Peace”

This is a charming boutique hotel that was converted from a prison but don't let that put you off. We were told that the hotel was protected and therefore the exterior could not be changed nor reformed. It didn't need the reform as it gave it an air of antiquity. The service and attention of the staff is first rate, the rooms spacious and modern. The location is excellent as it is close to the centre but still manages to be quiet. I found breakfast to be excellent even though it was not buffet. I would stay there again and recommend it to anyone visiting Luang Prabang.

Incredible design, kind and helpful staff, an oasi”

this is a wonderful hotel de la paix, just a five minute walk into the center of town and all the sights of luang prabang. the rooms are really remarkable, with huge tall ceilings, great bathrooms, private gardens or pools, and wonderful design. the front desk staff is eager to assist in any way, as is the restaurant and spa. i was only there for three days, but i want to return for much longer to take part in their cooking school, see more of the country, enjoy the town more.

Great Staff, Beautiful Hotel”

Our stay was really nice thanks to the attentive staff who catered for all of our needs and helped recommend tours around the beautiful Luang Prabang. The hotel itself is built around an old prison, but through refurbishment, the hotel looks elegant and modern. The rooms are small and its surroundings are quiet - definitely would recommend.

Best Boutique Experience in Luang Prabang!”

we stayed 5 nights at this lovely alila luang prabang. really nice room layout and 5-star service. extremely comfortable king-size bed. bath room was also wonderful with rain-shower option and high-top bathtub. beautiful swimming pool. breakfast menu was amazing, i especially loved the pancake and chocolate croissant. the staff was super nice and genuine. one of my favorite boutique stays ever!

Gorgeous hotel and room”

We stayed in a junior suite, the room includes a private back yard with a large standalone tub. Wonderful, peaceful and a great place to recharge. One of the few hotels that made me want to stay there rather than wander Luang Prabang.

beautiful stay”

It wqs q good 4d3n stay with sofitel first class service provided from day 1 to the end. The staffs were really pleasant. The reception, housekeeping, restaurants and drivers were simlly amazing. hotel was about 10 mins away fromt the city and they had shuttle provided. if im not wrong,its every 30 mins or hour. Inhouse dining and food selection was alright. small details like, housekeeping the rooms 2x daily and leaving us with a local dessert of the day was very sweet. only downside was the some insects were always in the bathtub or near the pool in the villa. but again,its because we are very close to nature. just a call and the staffs will be happy yo clear it for you. great stay and highly recommended!

Disappointed with Sofitel - Wasting a beautiful, Historic property”

Sofitel has purchased and operates what used to be a lovely Alila run property. What was a beautifully restored colonial era mansion complex is now visually appealing, but lacks any soul or character. The staff are less capable, with very few able to assist guests with touring options. And the Food was the most disappointing!! Where we looked forward to breakfast at the Alila, Sofitel's offering was positively pedestrian. And the main restaurant menu was equally uninteresting and lacking any imagination. Definitely would NOT return for a 3rd trip to this property, though Luang Prabang still is charming and a nice break from the pace and stress of the big cities in SE Asia.

Luxurious Oasis in Luang Prabang”

We stayed 7 nights over the Xmas period and enjoyed our time immensely. Although a little out of the main centre, it's an easy (and interesting) 20 minute walk to the centre of town. The property is undergoing a management change when we were there and as one expects, a few bumps along the way. The management and local staff are doing their best to get up to speed with the service standards of 5 star properties across Asia. We highly recommend De La Paix in Luang Prabang.

Best for Relaxation”

Sofital (Old Name is Hotel de lapaix) is one of the best luxury hotel in Luang Phrabang. I love staff who are very nice and scenic view which uplifting your mood.

Surreal experience with great comfort”

I stayed with my parents during summer. We stayed other hotel two night and stayed here for the last day. It was very unique hotel without window (knowing where it is from, it is understood) and of course the room is not very bright, but gave surreal quietness and comfort. Staff is so attentive and kind, and even allow us to check out few hours late to be ready for return flight. Only wish it cost a bit cheaper (as there are nice hotels in/near town with much reasonable price), but it was great stay as you will be treated like VIP.

Amazing”

This is the smallest Sofitel in the world and it's in an old Colonial building. Beautiful and relaxing. Great place for couples.

very nice hotel, good staff.”

rooms are very well appointed. and comfortable. service is impeccable. breakfast room is compact as we had to eat inside due to rainy season, but outdoor dining area should be quite comfortable in dry season. staff was very accommodating and helpful, location is comfortable walking distance or short tuk tuk ride from night market and most good restaurants in town.compares generally well with aman and phou vao hotels which are in comparable range. rooms are a little dark due to the fact that it is a converted prison but very quiet and exceptionally well appointed. french drip coffee was a plus!

Wonderful Romantic Stay”

Had a wonderful anniversary celebration at Hotel de la Paix. The staff could not be friendlier and the service great. What a wonderful surpeise to walk in and have rose petals in a shape of hearts on the bed as well as pedals sprinkled in the bath tub. Spa treatments were amazing and wondefully relaxing. The room was clean and extremely comfortable. It was nice to have a private balcony to relax and be comfortably lazy. Enjoyed the beautiful grounds and tok the last day to "hang" out at the hotel and thoroughly enjoyed the relaxed feel.

Beautiful grounds & wonderful hotel”

The photo on Agoda is a bit misleading - makes the hotel look very formal and stark. In fact it's set in beautiful grounds, and with lovely traditional buildings at the entry.

Hideaway place...Truly relaxing...”

We had booked the Suite with free minibar and airport transfer. This is a real great deal and good value for money. All the staffs are very helpful and very nice manners. The hotel is at the edge of the city centre so you will need to find local transport to go around (The 3 wheels vehicle called JUMBO). What we found is the drawback here is the cleanliness of the swimming pool. We found moss in the pool...

Luxury boutique hotel”

The pool suite rooms are huge, all amenities looked after including free use of the mini bar which is stocked daily with soft drink, beer, juice, chocolate. The staff are willing to help where ever possible. Bike hire from the hotel is free, although located about a 10 minute tuk tuk from city centre it is definitely worth the trip.
