Settha Palace welcomes you to the capital of Laos with its French Colonial opulence, ornate rosewood interiors and swathe of emerald palms after a restoration to its former glory by the original owners.
Its central location sits just a stone’s throw from Vientiane’s commercial district, so the Mekong River, Thatluang Stupa, Wat Si Saket temple and other cultural highlights are all within easy walking distance – as is Wattay International Airport, just six kilometres away.
Paradise wouldn’t be complete without tropical gardens and an outdoor pool. Top it off with a poolside bar, spa and Jacuzzi and you’ve got the recipe for relaxation at your fingertips. Book a massage in one of the treatment rooms before reclining by the pool after exploring the city sights.
Rooms and suites are a warm and inviting space to retreat to. Rosewood four-poster beds are dressed in plump feather pillows and down duvets and sit on polished floorboards. You’ll find antique armoires and marble bathrooms in all room types, although those wanting a bit more space won’t want to forgo the square footage in the executive suite.
The dining options here have had the same careful thought as the interiors. La Belle Epoque has fine French dining down to an art, brought to life by its high ceilings, rustic décor and an additional seasonally inspired Laos menu. There’s also a charming sidewalk café if you’re looking to enjoy a coffee or some light Asian bites.
