Having scooped one of the best spots among a few attractive hotels having riverfront views in Laos’ diminutive capital, the flamingo-pink Beau Rivage, which overlooks the extra wide flow of the Mekong River near the capital’s downtown, is one of the best places for your stay in Vientiane. A wanted watering hole for a sundowner: regular burnt orange sunsets spill the length of the Mekong river is its next door Spirit House bar and restaurant. Inside, a blue bathroom offers matching coloured slippers and duck-egg blue seersucker spreads match blue bulbous wicker bed lamps are thoughtful touches featured in these 16 color-themed rooms decorated with Laos silk wall hangings. The riverside rooms, where you can enjoy double beds looking out through the sliding glass doors framing one of the Mekong’s views, are desirable ones.

The Khamvongsa, which faces the downtown Buddhist monastery complex, Wat Inpeng, is characterized by the colonial-style chic. Ceiling fans whirr above plum-colored lace cloth curtains and blinds and two-poster beds laid with crisp white cloths sit on dark wood floors. Including an appealing choice of rice consommé with pork or chicken, Guatemalan pancake gateau, Swedish waffles or croissants washed down with Lao Mulberry leaf tea, breakfast is taken on circular tables embedded with old French tiles. Cocktails and drinks are also served on the small roadside terrace beneath the dark louvered shutters of the minty-green façade by the kind staff. It is such an ideal place for some tuk tuk and Buddhist monk watching. Tour in Laos

Ansara

Tucked down an alley in the heart of downtown Vientiane, the beautiful retreat Ansara is where you can find rooms set back at the end of the bamboo and banana-filled garden and overlooking a big new pool. Opt for a bigger building with stunning balcony views of the pool and garden. The Savvy rooms come complimented by red and indigo cushions and decorated in Lao silks; and offered for guest use are in-room laptops. The cavernous upstairs restaurant room lacks ambience; breakfast is served in the alfresco La Signature Café in the dry season. What shows the owner’s thoughtful touch is the complimentary handmade silk scarf left for guests in their rooms.

On the old riverfront road, this small yet smart hotel of LV Riverine, which faces the new landscaped Mekong River gardens and a Chinese temple, is a delight. With tiled-floor bathrooms; four-poster beds scattered with lime green cushions under high wooden ceilings; VIP rooms, which are hidden far back from the road, are perked up by uncommon elephant sculptures-turned towel racks. These twin rooms own a more fashionable edge with mattresses on elevated dais. With a fountain and potted frangipani trees, the alfresco breakfast corner is an inviting place for writing and reading post sightseeing; and if you are looking for a soothing treatment, you can have staff arrange trips to a herbal sauna.

A beautifully ramshackle French colonial home in manicured gardens focusing on a swimming pool set under the mango tree’s boughs, Villa Manoly is a rare treat. Scattered with antiques: bamboo baskets, framed old silks, 1930s wardrobes, desks, old sofas and typewriters, the rooms and landing in the main house (built in 1961) make it a guesthouse as well as a museum piece. Rooms facing the pool in a separate accommodation block are designed in a combination of old and new furniture, with en suite contemporary bathrooms. At the doors of these rooms are wicker chairs from which you can see the charming orchid- and pine-stuffed garden. Breakfast is served inside, amid the prints and silverware of old Vientiane or alfresco.
