Stay 

Apsara Rive Droite has just 9 rooms in a revitalised French villa. All rooms are large, spacious, airy and glamorous with large fully equipped bathrooms. All rooms have wooden floors, a king size double bed with western mattress, air con and fans, safes, a mini bar, hair dryers, phones, and views of the temples and mountains of Luang Prabang. Four of the rooms have a day bed that can very easily be made up into a single bed, if needed.

ChildCare 

Apsara Rive Droite Hotel is designed for a peaceful stay and therefore does not accept children below 12 years age. However, children above 12 years are welcome to stay at the Apsara Rive Droite.

Dine 

The main restaurant at the Apsara Rive Droite hotel provides a generous breakfast with plenty of choice - excellent pastries, jams and other options. We had a nice selection of simple dishes for lunch and dinner but it is best to try many options available in the town. The restaurant is open for all day dining, offering a fresh and delicious poolside or dining menu for those wishing to eat in.

Relax 

A particularly nice feature at the Apsara Rive Droite hotel is the pool. In Luang Prabang, hotels within the downtown historic district are not allowed to have a pool. Since other hotels with pools are much further from town, staying at The Apsara Rive Droite, you can spend the morning exploring the town and enjoy an afternoon in luxurious idleness by the pool. 

Explore 

There are free bikes at the Apsara Rive Droite hotel, which we used for a morning journey on the less busy side of the river. If you are looking for a quiet excursion, take the bikes and visit the nearby village (15mins by bicycle from the hotel) which has a small paper and textile factory. There are also a few interesting Wats on the way. The hotel can also arrange a boat trip up the Mekong to see the Pak Ou caves with hundreds of Buddhas perched on its ledges or a car to the nearby Kwang Si waterfall. 

Experience 

At the Apsara Rive Droite, you can just step outside the hotel and watch the monks in the morning, walk down and back the road as they receive their gifts of rice from families living along the road. Alternatively, you can cross the river to watch the silent procession of Buddhist monks receiving alms but there are a lot of tourists doing the same.
