Luang Probang, We Love It

Where: Rue Chao Fa Ngum, Banthatluang, Luang Prabang, Laos

Luang Probang is on the cusp of being the next "it" place. But at the moment, still feels amazingly undiscovered. Think charming French colonial town, with a colorful Laotian flair... er, SE Asian uniqueness.

The town is a gem; nestled along the banks of the Mekong, locals and tourists walk or cycle down lanes draped in beauganvillia and past magnificent temples.

Where to stay? In town of course, at the former residence of Prince Souvannaphouma. The Maison Souvannaphoum Hotel is now a resort of enchantment, recognized by Conde Nast's 2005 "Hot List" and is located near JOMA, a great French bakery.

So only one room has an en suite bath. You don't go to Laos for Jacuzzis.  But if you are interested in spa treatment, this hotel's spa was also on Conde Nast's list of Hot Places.

Maison Souvannaphoum Hotel is offering a Cultural Treasures Package that includes discounts on spa treatments, bike rentals, free breakfast for two, airport transfers, and accommodation at two nights for the price of one.
