Review
Set around a river and immersed in nature, the Rosewood offers the most resort-like experience in Luang Prabang.
Accommodations are designed by Bill Bensley, with lots of color and patterns, employing loud fabrics and vintage relics that complement dark teakwood structures. Rooms vary in style, from River Rooms and Suites, some of which have subtler color schemes, to the Waterfall Pool Villa—a honeymooners' paradise featuring wooden bathtubs, private bars and outdoor dining. For those wanting more experiential accommodations, there are rooms with themes, such as cartography, and hilltop tents dedicated to Laos’s local tribes with corresponding textiles and objects.
The Sense Spa features tented treatment rooms that have cutouts below the beds, so guests can see the river rushing beneath the tent. Many of the ingredients are sourced from the spa garden next door, with the option of having products mixed on the spot.
Who Should Stay
Adults and families looking for a resort experience with sprawling grounds, A+ service and luxurious accommodations.
