Kingkitsarath Rd, Ban Wat Sene, Luang Prabang
The first and still one of the most beautiful boutique hotels in Luang Prabang, the Apsara was originally a rice warehouse situated on the banks of the Nam Khan [The quieter side of town]. The Apsara is also right in the heart of the heritage village, making it the perfect place to stay.
All our rooms are air-conditioned and all rooms face the beautiful Nam Khan river. The rates include breakfast and tax. To keep noise levels to a minimum The Apsara has no televisions in the rooms.
From the comfort of its large, airy bedrooms, rated by the Washington Post as "an inch beyond decadence", it's easy to explore temples and the lanes of Luang Prabang. After which you can relax on the river terrace and enjoy the spectacular views and a refreshing Beer Laos.
All our rooms are air-conditioned and all rooms face the beautiful Nam Khan river. The rates include breakfast and tax. To keep noise levels to a minimum The Apsara has no televisions in the rooms.
The rooms each contain a queen size bed and a day bed which can convert into a single bed for those guests requesting a twin room. Due to the old wooden floors and limited noise insulation we regret to advise that this particular accommodation is not suitable for guests with children under the age of 12 years old.
These rooms are the same size as the superior rooms upstairs and they contain a double bed and a day bed which can convert into a single bed. The large bathrooms includes a bath tub. They are located in the same building as the superior upstairs rooms.
Our restaurant is well known for having one of the most interesting menus in town as well as a superb wine list and the driest martinis in Laos. As Hip Hotels said "Both the restaurant and bar reflect a refined sense of taste" and who are we to argue with that.
