“You can't miss this flamingo pink edifice located along a dusty downtown street. Its 16 individually decorated blue and pink rooms feature cosy waffle bedspreads, bamboo screens & impressive Mekong River views. Local cuisine is served at Le Khme Khong and there is a pleasant sun dappled garden. ”

Top 10 hotels and guesthouses in Vientiane, Laos

The flamingo-pink Beau Rivage overlooks the extra wide flow of the Mekong river near downtown Vientiane. Few attractive hotels have riverfront views in Laos’ diminutive capital, but the Beau Rivage has scooped one of the best spots. Its next door Spirit House bar and restaurant is also a popular watering hole for a sundowner: regular burnt orange sunsets spill the length of the Mekong river. Inside, 16 colour-themed rooms decorated with Laos silk wall hangings feature thoughtful touches: duck-egg blue seersucker spreads match blue bulbous wicker bed lamps; and a blue bathroom offers matching coloured slippers.
