Burasari Heritage , Luang Prabang

Two traditional houses in the centre of Luang Prabang have been converted into the charming Burasari Heritage. The modern interiors work brilliantly with the colonial style of the building and the original features give the hotel a real sense of character.

The location is superb, you are about 5 minutes from the main street, plus the popular night market. There are a range of restaurants within proximity as well as the bustling waterfront area.

The whole hotel is tastefully designed, pretty rooms feature dark woods, little antiques and rich blue and cream throws and blinds. The spa is equally ambient and a range of treatments are offered. The restaurant is excellent too with a romantic terrace overlooking the Nam Khan River.

As is common in Luang Prabang’s central UNESCO protected zone (where building development is restricted) the hotel is on a small plot of land, so don't expect space to spread out. The tradeoff is that you’re in the heart of the town. If you like a charming, traditional boutique hotel with really up to date furnishings and fittings then this hotel is ideal. If you would like lots of space to spread out and a quiet location then a hotel further from the UNESCO area may be more suitable.
