Every city and corner of Laos is bursting with history, with throwbacks of French Indochina reflected in charming European style buildings and mansions. Now that Laos is opening its doors to allow people to explore its cultural and natural wonders, these stunning buildings are being lovingly restored and converted into excellent boutique and character hotels. What’s more, local charm and design are finding their way into even remote properties, such as those tucked away in the 4,000 Islands region in the south. Each offering combines traditional Laotian design with modern comforts for a truly luxury holiday in Laos.
