Satri House

Elegant hideaway ▪️ Luang Prabang
Laos
Everything we do is custom made by real Asia experts...

Previously a residence of Prince Soupha-Nouvong, Satri House is a unique and historic place to stay when visiting Luang Prabang; an oasis of royal grandeur in the heart of the city.

Whilst it doesn’t boast all the ‘bells and whistles’ of some of the city’s other premium hotels, the Satri House (meaning ‘House of women’) brings a touch of class seldom found in newer developments. Unquestionably, this is a serious contender for Luang Prabang’s boutique hotel crown.

Colonial-style houses surround two swimming pools and, following this theme, the bedrooms are furnished with 4-posters and charming retro touches. Thoughtfully positioned, high-quality local handicrafts instantly take you back to a bygone era – before the invention of television (although these are available upon request). There are a plethora of treatments available in the serene spa, and an open air restaurant and poolside terrace that make ideal spots for lunch or a welcome evening G&T. All-in-all, it’s rather splendid.

Why we love it

“Top marks! Satri House delivers on many levels.”

Fit for a prince

Exterior of Satri House

It’s not often you get to stay where royalty once did. When most people think of a residence for a prince, they might picture a towering castle on a hilltop or a grand palace with gold trim gates, but Satri House is different. The grandeur comes from the attention to detail in the décor, it’s charming character, and its homely demeanour. This is the complete regal experience wrapped in warm and friendly hospitality.

What can you do there?

Garden and pool at Satri House

Hop aboard the hotel’s own boat and enjoy a lazy afternoon floating down the Mekong, gazing at the rosy sky as the sun sets, or hire a private charter. Grab a complimentary bicycle and glide through the old town and neighbouring markets, filling your senses with the vibrant colours that occupy street vendor stands, listening to music as it flows through the air, and breathing in the cocktail of aromas inviting you to have a taste. Book yourself a spa treatment (or two!) and relax after a day of cycling, take a plunge into the bubbly jacuzzi, and enjoy a cold drink on the balcony overlooking your quaint surroundings.

Fantastic holiday

Using Selective Asia took all the stress out of booking and organising the trip ourselves as we were travelling around the country. Selective Asia were really responsive to our needs and created our perfect honeymoon holiday. They were available whenever we had questions or needed some help. I would highly recommend using their service!

Another fantastic trip with Selective Asia

We’ve been on 5 trips to the Far East with Selective Asia over 17 years with the same consultant (Lionel). They take the time to tailor the holiday individually with invaluable local knowledge and once again got it spot on. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Highly Recommend Selective Asia

Have been to Asia with Selective Asia twice now, and we can't fault them. We had the most amazing holiday staying in 6 different locations throughout Thailand. Selective Asia did us proud by giving us a well thought out itinerary. The accommodations were first class. Our private guide called James was very knowledgable and made our holiday very memorable.

Personalised and spot on journey

Personalised service all the way up to departure and then throughout via on the ground help and advice in country as well. Ideal.

Our trip to Japan was outstanding

We had had several discussions with Andrew, our agent, before booking the trip and he incorporated all the activities we were interested in plus recommending other activities that he knew we would be interested in. Much of our trip was self guided and SA provide an excellent app to help with this. It was intuitive, easy to use and had the option to be able to contact someone locally if necessary. The whole trip was seamless and managed at a thoroughly professional yet friendly level. I would travel with this company again (we have travelled with them before.)

Heather, Japan

It was amazing from start to finish. Really informative when we were planning the trip, flexible about our itinerary, offering a range of options but all backed with knowledge of the lodges and reserves. The support when we were away was excellent with alternative arrangements made quickly when a flight was cancelled and great advice when our return flight seats were changed. We would absolutely recommend the company, particularly if you are looking for something a little different but special.
