The house
AccorRoyal court residence
These nineteenth-century townhouses once hosted royal court meetings, and they still operate with the quiet intimacy of an aristocratic family manor.
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Restored century-old royal residences preserve original torchis plasterwork and classic timber verandas.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
these buildings boast a wealth of period-appropriate details, including torchis plasterwork and traditional clay-tile roofing.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Sakkaline Road forms the spine of the old town, placing neighborhood temples and the Nam Khan River just steps away.
The rooms
Every room opens onto a private balcony or terrace. Inside, dark hardwood floors set off four-poster beds and traditional Lao weavings.
At the table
Terrace tables sit under mature mango trees for traditional Lao dishes, and Nagini Bar mixes cocktails with local botanicals.
How it began
Lamache House served the royal court for decades, first as a meeting hall and later as its official ice cream parlour.
