3 luxury hotels in Luang Prabang – and how to choose
The luxury hotels in Luang Prabang cost 315, 1,036 and 1,182 € a night. That is not a range, those are two worlds: the cheapest hotel costs roughly a quarter of the other two.
AmantakaWhich makes what you get for the money all the more important – and here there is a case we almost never see.
Our travel advisors’ insider tip
The Amantaka brings three benefits that are already rare on their own:
• a daily afternoon tea
• a daily choice of lunch or dinner, soft drinks included
• the airport transfer both ways
All three together are almost impossible to find – the Amantaka is one of the very rare exceptions.
What that means in practice. With the breakfast that comes anyway, your eating is covered through the day – and both airport runs fall away too. Set that against the nightly rate: across two people and four nights the comparison with the other two shifts noticeably.
One thing to note: this applies to one of the three hotels, not to Luang Prabang as a whole. Book the Sofitel Luang Prabang or the Rosewood Luang Prabang and you do not get those three points. In exchange one of them costs a quarter.
Our advice: tell us how long you are staying and whether you want to eat at the hotel in the evening. After that the arithmetic is unambiguous – one way or the other.
Where to stay in Luang Prabang: by the river or by the monasteries
Luang Prabang sits where the Nam Khan meets the Mekong.
Rosewood Luang PrabangThe Amantaka at 1,182 € stands on Kingkitsarath Road – the dearest of the three. Our recommendation if the benefits described above are what tips it.
The Rosewood Luang Prabang at 1,036 € lies in Ban Nadueay Village; our travel advisors will tell you the exact setting of the Sofitel Luang Prabang at 315 € and the distances to the old town. In a town where the monks' dawn alms round is the main reason for the trip, that is exactly the question you want settled beforehand.
On the view: two categories look out over the river, one over the mountains. For the others, at these rates it is worth asking about the view.
19 categories: the best hotels in Luang Prabang from the inside
Together the best hotels in Luang Prabang offer 19 room categories – a small, manageable selection.
At the Sofitel Luang Prabang, given the difference in price, the question of room size is especially worth asking.
The largest unit in the selection measures 139 square metres at the Rosewood Luang Prabang, three Pool Suites at the Amantaka measure 120 each, and a Waterfall villa comes to 40.
Layout, square metres and room type are obtained directly from the hotel by our travel advisors before you book.
What a night at a luxury hotel in Luang Prabang costs
A night at a 5-star hotel in Luang Prabang costs between 315 € and 1,182 €, on average 1,036 €.
| Luxury hotel | From | suitespot benefits from |
|---|---|---|
| Sofitel Luang Prabang | 315 € | 1st night |
| Rosewood Luang Prabang | 1036 € | 1st night |
| Amantaka | 1182 € | 1st night |
At all three hotels the benefits apply from the first night. None requires a minimum stay.
When it is at its best: from November to February – dry, mild, and the mornings by the river are clear. Our recommendation is November, while the Mekong still runs high after the rains.
From May to October the monsoon falls. The Kuang Si waterfalls carry the most water then, the landscape is green and the hotels emptier. The rain usually comes in the afternoon and rarely lasts all day.
In March and April smoke from field burning can dull the view – if clear distances matter to you, tell us and we will plan the trip differently.
And whatever the date: you get the suitespot benefits in the quietest week of the year exactly as in the busiest.
Breakfast, upgrade and exclusive services at a 5-star hotel
In Luang Prabang four benefits come with all 3 hotels: breakfast, the upgrade, the early check-in or late check-out and a hotel credit.
Personal luxury travel adviceOur travel advisors personally accompany your booking – 365 days a year, from the first offer to late check-out. Reach the suitespot VIP service via email or WhatsApp.Phone: +49 30 81452346 · hotel@suitespot.comOn the credit a closer look pays, because two of the three depart from the standard. The Rosewood Luang Prabang grants 125 US dollars outright – more, that is, than the category normally provides.
The Amantaka gives an additional credit for the spa, and that one comes with conditions: three named Pool Suites, two nights, and no promotion running alongside. That does not contradict the table above – the suitespot benefits still apply from the first night. Only this one extra has its own rule. Ask us about it before you count on it.
At the Amantaka, breakfast is for two people and can also be taken as room service.
Two of the three hotels also greet you with a welcome gift.
And the loyalty side: only one of the three belongs to a programme – the Sofitel Luang Prabang to ALL (Accor). The Rosewood Luang Prabang and the Amantaka stand outside the loyalty programmes. So if you collect to an account, you have exactly one choice here – and it happens to be the cheapest.
