Riverside Boutique Resort, Vang Vieng

Ideally located on the bank of the Nam Song River, multi-award-winning Riverside Boutique Resort is a luxury hotel with charm and character. It is laid out around one of the most inviting swimming pools to be found in Laos, and offers stunning views of the surrounding forest-clad limestone mountains. Thirty-four rooms with large balconies are located within the manicured gardens. Each has a stylish and subtly different design that combines exotic wood and rattan furniture, soft furnishings reflecting the traditions of eight Lao ethnic groups, and authentic art and craftwork by local artists and artisans. An herbal spa is also part of the hotel, comprising three traditional pavilions looking over the mountains.
