Satri House

Elegant hideaway
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.

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.

A great trip

We had an excellent holiday with an itinerary carefully arranged by Dave to suit our preferences. This is the third time we've travelled with Selective Asia and we will happily do so again in the future. We like the fact that they are a small company, passionate about what they do and committed to responsible travel.

Sarah Wilkie, Sri Lanka

Selective Asia is more than a booking agency...

When a museum sent its exhibits overseas on tour, they learned about this before our departure and steered another to another site. When a hotel that we had booked scheduled a noisy wedding for the period of our occupancy, they were able to identify a fantastic hotel without noise before our arrival. I am not sure that any other tour operator would provide such detail in follow up, even after the tour was booked and paid for.

David Kosh, Vietnam

Brilliant! Selective Asia covered every detail.

Travel, hotels, guides, and excursions all flawlessly executed. Selective Asia listened to our requirements and worked with us to refine a great holiday.

Tim Goodman, Thailand

Holiday of a lifetime

The planning of the holiday and the ongoing support was excellent. The organisation on the ground when we got there was perfect and the local guides were knowledgeable and very personable. We would definitely go with Selective Asia again.

Gillian Baker, Komodo & Borneo

Our trip was outstanding...

We had had several discussions with Andrew 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. The whole trip was seamless and managed at a thoroughly professional yet friendly level. I would travel with this company again.
