Royal Palace

Banyan Tree’s second resort in the city, The Grand Luang Prabang was the estate of Xiengkeo Palace, the former royal residence of Prime Minister. Carefully preserved to protect the palace’s history and heritage, the property blends French colonial architecture with Laotian motifs. Rooms look out to stunning views of the Mekong River, mountains and lush gardens. Laotian textiles are found in wall hangings, cushions and bed covers to showcase the country’s cultural traditions. www.grandluangprabang.com
