Surrounded by delectable gardens, Homm Souvannaphoum Luang Prabang is a haven from the busy streets of Luang Prabang that bustle just outside the door. Formerly the residence of the late Prince Souvanna Phouma, the blend of contemporary, colonial and Laotian interiors are incredibly welcoming and will make you feel at home as soon as you've stepped in the door. Just a stone's throw from the famous night market, this is the spot to be if you're looking to hit the streets of Luang Prabang and soak up everything this historical city has to offer - before retiring to the cooling shade of the garden and pool, of course.

The hotel provides cool and welcoming comfort after a busy day of exploring and there are plenty of spots to put your feet up and relax with a cup of tea 0 or something stronger. Overlooking the pool you'll find the Elephant Blanc restaurant which serves an outstanding and heady blend of Indo-Chinese, French and Laotian dishes; the famous ten-course 'Feast of the Prince' is absolutely not to be missed. The small spa also offers an excellent selection of treatments, perfect for the travel weary.
There are 24 rooms in total and several options to choose from, split between The Garden Wing (the most affordable option) and the La Residence Wing (part of the original mansion, and offering rooms with much more space). The interiors are classic but charming and always welcoming, and the wooden shutters and Laotian artworks are lovely touches.
Homm Souvannaphoum Luang Prabang can arrange all manner of excursions, including trips to local waterfalls and caves, cycling tours, visits to rice farms, cookery classes and a chance to witness the morning almsgiving in the city. The location, just outside the UNESCO-zone of the city, also lends itself perfectly to an exploration on foot, taking in the beautiful temples and colonial architecture, and the array of excellent restaurants and eateries.
Location, location, location. There's no better place to be for those looking to discover the history of fascinating ancient capital.
Book a private car to whisk you away to the beautiful Kuang Si Falls and swim in the icy turquoise waters.
This is a comfortable, boutique property with a heart, but don't expect a five star luxury resort.
