3 Nagas
Luang Prabang
3 Nagas is an elegant boutique hotel located in the heart of Luang Prabang. Sitting on the bank between the mighty Mekong river and the more rural Nam Khan river, this property is the sister hotel of Mgallery Sofitel, sharing UNESO World Heritage protected buildings and a 100 year old history.
Tasteful contemporary Asian décor - from polished wooden furnishings to silk weavings - compliment the original architecture and traditional features of the property, and each of the 15 spacious rooms invite you in with their warm ambiance, thanks to their welcoming layout and luxurious amenities.
Enjoy a comfortable night’s sleep in Lamache House (the former ice cream shop to the Royal Palace!), or Khamboua House (built for the King’s counsellor in 1903). We recommend staying upstairs for a quieter setting, especially in the top category here - namely the Executive Suite - for sheer indulgence and great views of The Morning Alms ('Tak Bat') from the private balcony.
All the spacious rooms and suites open onto private terraces or verandahs overlooking the gardens or street, meaning that you can watch Luang Prabang life unfold from the comfort of your own room. A taste of local affairs can also be witnessed while enjoying breakfast or afternoon tea from the al fresco courtyard. Here, the in-house restaurant serves regional Lao cuisine in a cozy setting. We recommend honeymooners treat themselves to a private dinner, which comes complete with a set menu and delicious wine.
Stay at 3 Nagas to benefit from its prime location, well within walking distance of the local shops, temples and renowned night market, as well its splendid service and friendly staff. With the partnered Sofitel Luang Prabang sitting just a stone’s throw away, you can also access a beautiful pool, spa and fitness centre while staying at this old-world property.
To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.
