The Grand Luang Prabang Affiliated by Meliá

Where history meets riverside natural beauty, The Grand Luang Prabang Affiliated by Meliá presents a rare fusion of timeless elegance, cultural authenticity, and serene exclusivity. Set on nearly six hectares of lush estate along the tranquil banks of the Mekong River, this architectural treasure was once the royal residence of Prince Phetsarath, a revered Lao nationalist hero. Known as the Xiengkeo Palace, it now offers an extraordinary gateway to the soul of Luang Prabang.

The property features eight colonial-era buildings, including the 1920 palace itself, and holds the distinction of being the only hotel in Luang Prabang with uninterrupted riverfront views—no road, no noise, only pure tranquility. Each guestroom blends French colonial grace with refined Laotian accents, while private balconies open to manicured gardens, lotus ponds, and sweeping mountain vistas.

As part of Meliá Hotels International, the resort seamlessly unites modern hospitality excellence with the warmth of genuine Laotian service. Guests are invited to immerse themselves in curated cultural experiences, from sunset cruises on the Mekong to guided heritage walks through the UNESCO World Heritage town. Every stay is enriched by personalized care, meticulous attention to detail, and an atmosphere of heartfelt welcome.

Celebrated on the global stage, The Grand Luang Prabang Affiliated by Meliá has been honored with the Luxury Lifestyle Award, the Haute Grandeur Seal of Excellence, the TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best, and a nomination for the World Luxury Awards 2025.

More than a destination, The Grand Luang Prabang is an emotional journey—an immersive retreat where luxury is defined not by excess, but by authenticity, tranquility, and soul.
