Set in a deep, green valley in a culturally and historically invested Buddhist township, Azerai Luang Prabang is an elegant and intimate haven for travellers with refined tastes. As the Azerai brand’s debut, the hotel sets a high standard: It features a solicitous integration of traditional Lao and European colonial architecture with modern aesthetics and amenities, and its various dining options showcase plenty of fresh local fare “as befits its location in the heart of Laos” ancient capital.
