WHY WE LIKE THIS HOTEL

All 29 rooms and suites are presented in an elegant French colonial style and feature exposed solid wood floors, high ceilings and many with comfortable 2 poster beds dressed with down feather pillows and crisp white linen. All rooms also come complete with coffee table and 2-seater sofa. The bathrooms are stylish marble with separate shower and bathtub.

There is a choice of two dining outlets, La Belle Époque, where you can enjoy classical French cuisine or choose from a seasonally-inspired Lao menu showcasing the distinct flavours of the local harvest or the Sidewalk café which offers Asian and International dishes. You may also enjoy light snacks sitting by the swimming pool. For those who just cannot leave the office behind them the business centre has fax, internet and e-mail services, secretarial service and multilingual staff and two work stations with personal computers, printers and scanner.

The Settha Palace is the trend setter and leader in accommodation in the capital. It is one the most expensive, but every time we travel to Vientiane we pay the extra to stay here. With the shortage of decent accommodation in the city it is wise to book early. We just love the colonial decadence and history attached to this hotel and it’s one of the few with decent service and a swimming pool.
