Another Reason to Visit Luang Prabang

It’s difficult to decide what is the best thing about Le Bel Air; the scenic setting, the lovely wooden rooms, or the friendly and helpful staff. What’s definite though is that all these, and more, combine to make this hotel a great place to stay while in Luang Prabang.

The hotel is situated on the banks of the Khan River and is surrounded by so much green. The wooden bungalows are spread out amongst the trees ensuring privacy, while the restaurant makes a great place to catch up with other residents to shoot the breeze. Literally. The public areas, especially the restaurant, are public, and yet so private.

The rooms are large, well-furnished and very comfortable. Despite the massive amount of wood that must have gone towards building the hotel, the furniture, fittings and all the amenities give a feeling that being environmentally conscious was, and is, paramount in this place.

Sitting on the balcony, very early in the morning or late in the night, is a something that must be experienced. The stillness cannot be described.

The staff are discreet, yet friendly and helpful.

The internet connection is a bit dodgy but then who would want to keep in touch with the big, bad world outside Le Bel Air.
