The Victoria Xiengthong Palace is located at the far end of the peninsula that makes up old town Luang Prabang. It is the quietest part of the old city, near the confluence of the Mekong and Nam Khan rivers, in a neighborhood of leafy streets and old houses. The hotel is right next to atmospheric Wat XIengthong temple, and its backside sits right on the Mekong. It's about a 15-minute drive to the airport, and it's a 10-minute walk to the night market and main restaurant area of Luang Prabang; there are also plenty of quaint French bakeries and riverside cafes just a few minutes' stroll away. For those who like peace and quiet as well as colonial charm, it's in the perfect spot.
