A Boutique Hotel
with Soul

Nestled on the tip of the peninsula in the UNESCO World Heritage heart of Luang Prabang, Mekong Riverview Hotel is spread across five buildings crafted in 2007 in authentic Luang Prabang architecture, rich Maydo hardwood floors, high ceilings, and the timeless elegance of traditional Lao design.

From your balcony, watch the confluence of the Mekong and Nam Khan rivers at golden hour. Your neighbour is the Royal Temple Wat Xieng Thong. This is not just a place to sleep, it is the finest hotel in Luang Prabang.
