The Settha Palace hotel has been meticulously restored to reflect the charm of the area's French colonial history. Boasting an enviable position located right in the heart of Vientiane, the hotel provides a perfect base from which to explore this intriguing city. After a day's discovery in the bustling capital, with its plethora of temples and colourful markets, unwind with a cool drink next to the pool in the landscaped tropical garden. To follow, enjoy a delicious evening meal at La Belle Epoque Restaurant, where the chefs use the local harvests to provide guests with a seasonally inspired menu.
Settha Palace
Best time to be there
The cooler part of the dry season, November to February is when Laos is at its best, avoiding the torrential rains of the summer months, and the sweltering heat of April and May.

First experience with A&K. Intended to ask various travel companies for quotes but Vicky (Agnew) was so good with her suggestions that we did not seek alternative quotations the suggested itinerary was excellent and helped us decide on a balanced and interesting holiday.
