Asia is a fascinating continent to visit, with many unique and interesting cultures and countries. Whilst some of these countries such as Thailand are well known, there are others, such as Laos, which many people do not know quite so much about.
Laos is a mountainous, landlocked country situated between Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, Thailand and China. Popular with backpackers on the South East Asian overland route, it is now also a destination with holidaymakers looking for a week or two week long break. There are many areas within the country that one can choose to stay in, although perhaps Luang Prabang is one of the more obvious places.
Luang Prabang was the former capital city of Laos, and is now a UNESCO World Heritage site. A city of charm and personality, it is perhaps the tidiest and cleanest city in South East Asia. There are a range of accommodation possibilities in and around the city, and Only Exclusive Travel recommend La Residence Phou Vao. This luxury spa hotel has amazing views of the mountains and the city itself, and provides a comfortable base from which to explore all that the city and surrounding area has to offer.
La Residence Phou Vao offers guest rooms and suites that have views out over the gardens or mountains. Well furnished and equipped with all the mod cons that might be expected of a quality hotel, the local styles and materials used within them adds a final touch of class. The hotel also has some excellent facilities that it can be rightly proud of, such as the Phou Savanh restaurant, a cocktail bar, boutique and meeting room. There are also spa facilities available at the hotel, and a full range of therapies and treatments are on offer for those that would like to relax after a days sightseeing. Various day trips and tours can be organised through the hotel, and a popular choice, is to take a sunset cruise on the river.
La Residence Phou Vao is the perfect place to stay for anyone planning a holiday in Laos, and various deals are available through the Only Exclusive Travel website. A holiday in Laos will leave many lasting memories, not least of which is the friendliness of the people and the beauty of the country itself. Little known Laos may not remain that way for long, so visit there before it becomes too popular!
