One of the joys of life is to sit on the verandah of the Riverview Hotel and look down through the trees to the passing parade on the Mekong River. What a magic place! A truly beautiful boutique hotel. Our room was on the first floor. The floorboards in the room are the first thing you notice. Slabs of beautiful... more

Is this the best hotel in Luang Prabang? It is easy to believe that it is. What makes the Mekong Riverview special is (1) the welcome and help that Daniel gives when making one’s reservation and (2) the proprietorial view that they are offering a Luang Prabang experience and not just a hotel. Hence the free golf cart rides into... more

In a town rife with cookie-cutter restaurants and accommodations, the Mekong River View is truly an anomaly, setting a standard for boutique quality that would distinguish it in even the most developed locations. Heavy hard wood graces everything in private enclaves that have the feel of luxurious colonial townhouses. The breakfast inclusive in a night’s stay was the best Western... more

I rarely find anything which exceeds my high expectations. This hotel did. There is not a better location anywhere in Luang Prabang. The attention to detail is apparent in every aspect. The hotel is one of a kind. more

The Mekong Riverview is a five star hotel in every sense; location, views, lavish rooms, exceptional staff, attention to detail like you would not believe. We stayed there only a short time, but it rates among the most high quality places we have ever slept the night. We give it our highest recommendation and would encourage you to consider this... more

A trip to Laos and to Luang Prabang should be one of your destination spots. Our daughter opened our eyes to the quaintness of this community. As you walk through the city you see beautiful shutters on windows and doors, the fingermarks of the French background. The community is a quiet, restful town that has a night market with beautiful... more
