The Ansara Hotel is Vientiane’s boutique destination that will delight the visitor at first sight. The property is made up of a cluster of colonial-style low buildings around a beautifully landscaped courtyard. The mood here is one of understated elegance, the same kind of gracious, professional hospitality one finds at a high-end country hotel in France. A sense of quiet and privacy pervades.
With just 24 rooms and 4 suites, the Ansara hotel combines quiet sophistication with genuine charm. The decor is casually elegant in the French colonial manner, and our suite was lovely and very comfortable. The wall between the bedroom and sitting room didn't extend all the way to the high ceiling, which gave the rooms an unusually pleasant feeling of both cosiness and openness. The spacious balcony with seating off the bedroom, overlooked their lovely garden area and a wat next door.
The air-conditioned dining room with its white table cloths and well prepared provincial French cooking is an added unexpected pleasure. The hotel itself is very close to the riverfront but was very quiet at night. Recently a new sleek pool has been added, ideal as Vientiane can get quite hot. But the best part of Ansara Hotel is its location next to Wat chan and being immersed in the heart of Vientiane itself and being able to wander and soak up its culture and many heritage sites.
