Best hotels in Vientiane

Built in 1932, Settha Palace Hotel ticks all the boxes for a luxurious and utterly charming stay in the capital. Scoring maximum points for its location right in the heart of town, step inside the doors and into your very own oasis of calm and tranquility. Owned once again by the same family who ran the hotel in its heyday (it was lost for a time during the change of regimes), the Palace has been meticulously restored to its former glory and a wonderful sense of personal history is evident throughout. An excellent restaurant and a blissful pool nudge it just over the edge of excellent.

Laos' capital, Vientiane, is known for its nooks and crannies that overflow with delightful dining spots and boutiques, yet also for its quiet, historical streets. Ansara truly offers the best of both worlds: tucked into a peaceful lane in the city centre, its on the doorstep of all our favourite attractions (the Mekong River and the night market at the top of the charts), yet offers a cool, calm and collected haven to return to at the end of the day. One of the prettiest hotels in Vientiane, the decor is chic and stylish - and the outdoor pool will become your best friend on a hot, summer's afternoon...
