Settha Palace Hotel (Vientián, Laos)

Beautifully restored to its former charm, and re-opened in 1999, the Settha Palace Hotel serves as a testament to the long lost era of classical elegance, gracious service and colonial charm. The French colonial architecture, high ceilings, beautiful Italian-marble floors and rich rosewood furniture at this luxurious colonial hotel will take you a step back in time. Nestled within the large landscaped tropical gardens lies an inviting lagoon style pool, framed by shading frangipani trees and served by a terrace pool bar. A historical landmark in the heart of Vientiane, it is complemented by modern facilities like bathrooms with a bath and shower and high speed wireless internet service.
