Vientiane aerial view

Vientiane, Laos

Vientiane is Southeast Asia's most laid-back capital, where French colonial villas, gilded temples and the golden That Luang stupa sit along a slow bend of the Mekong. Luxury here is quiet and unhurried: riverside sunsets, refined Lao-French dining and a handful of heritage and five-star hotels within a short stroll of the old quarter.

Settha Palace Hotel

Vientiane's landmark 1932 French colonial palace hotel, lovingly restored with period furniture and a lush garden pool in the heart of the city.

Crowne Plaza Vientiane

IHG's flagship in the Lao capital: 198 contemporary rooms, an outdoor infinity pool and a full spa on Samsenthai Road, minutes from the old quarter.
