Located in the heart of Vientiane's Chinatown, close to many of the city's restaurants, museums and temples, the hotel is an oasis of calm. The open air restaurant serves Lao and international dishes in the lovely tree shaded courtyard beside the fishpond and fountain. The huge fish almost leap out of the pond when the staff feed them!
In the lobby, a gift shop sells a selection of Lao woven cotton and silks, along with smaller items such as postcards and traditional smoked tea. At the front of the Hotel, the travel agency can arrange domestic and international reservations and ticketing as well as tours to regions of Laos.

Built around a courtyard with a lovely fishpond and fountain, the quiet atmosphere of the Hotel Lao harkens back to an earlier, unhurried time. The original building, converted to a hotel in 1999, was constructed in the 1960s by a prominent Vientiane politician as a private residence.Traditional construction techniques are visible throughout the interior and exterior of the hotel. The Hotel Lao now offers modern accommodation with friendly service, its facilities including a spacious open air courtyard restaurant, a meeting room and a travel agency. Unusually in a hotel in this price range, the Hotel Lao bedrooms are truly large. The high ceilings create a relaxed spaciousness that will immediately ease any tiredness created by a day of sightseeing and shopping.
