Jungles, Rivers & Elephants: Vientiane to Luang Prabang

Location: Based in the epicentre of the city, just minutes away from the hustle and bustle of Vientiane's commercial district, there’s plenty to keep guests occupied while staying in Laos’ beautiful capital city. History: The building that houses Settha Palace was constructed in the earlier years of the last century, and has been restored to its former glory, maintaining its French Colonial appearance. The family who originally owned the hotel are back in possession of it, after the regime change in 1975, and have spared no expense in restoring it to its natural brilliance. Service: With 24-hour concierge service, plus a sophisticated limo service, guests will feel like the VIPs of Vientiane while staying at this hotel.

The former home of a famous Lao writer, the Lao Poet Hotel offers a fresh spin on 1930's Indochine design and boasts the only rooftop swimming pool in Vientiane. The property is comprised of 55 guest rooms and suites over eight floors, all featuring glamorous "urban jungle" decor; bursts of purples, greens and blues, and plays on texture with plush bedding and traditional textile rugs.
