Ultra PremierLa Résidence Phou Vao, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa
The Luxury Collection (Marriott) · Hilltop garden retreat · Phou Vao hill, overlooking the old town and mountains
This teak-and-frangipani retreat sits alone atop Phou Vao, the hill of the kites, with 360-degree views over the temples, the river plain, and the surrounding ranges. Acquired from Belmond by HMD Asia (operators of the Shinta Mani hotels) and reopened in November 2025 as a Luxury Collection resort after an extensive heritage-led transformation, it keeps an unhurried, residential mood: terraced gardens, two pools, and a spa oriented to the sunset. It trades the immediacy of the peninsula for elevation, quiet, and one of the finest evening panoramas in Laos.
Why we recommend it
Luxury Collection polish with the best long view in town, a five-minute transfer from the old quarter.
