Stylish attention to detail in decor and construction is immediately evident - stone inlaid floor patterns lead into the reception desk, an angular staircase climbs sharply up into the body of the building and vivid self-colored walls distinguish each floor. Guest rooms, each named after an animal from the Chinese zodiac, fan out from the central wooden staircase spine.

The unique hand carved wooden keycard fobs are stored in a splendid circular key panel at reception. The Ancient Luang Prabang's friendly staff go out of their way to make your stay an enjoyable experience.
