Green Park Boutique Hotel and Spa is a great little 34-room low-rise boutique hotel in Vientiane, just a short tuk tuk ride from Vientiane city centre and the Mekong River.

Spacious, modern rooms are located in two-storey wooden buildings and feature antique furniture and balconies overlooking a rather swish swimming pool surrounded by comfortable loungers.

The green-tiled swimming pool is surrounded by frangipani trees, which add to the tropical fragrance and atmosphere, alongside water features and fountains.

In the evening the pool and garden areas are illuminated by softly glowing lanterns, quite a gorgeous sight.

The gardens, dotted with palms and fountains create a relaxing ambience, a tranquil retreat after a days sightseeing in Laos’ capital city.

One of just a couple of really great boutique hotels in Vientiane, Green Park Hotel is a very gracious boutique hotel with a lovely swimming pool.

Green Park is a standout in Vientiane, a city short on boutique hotels. Green Park’s ambience is peaceful and tranquil and the style and décor reflects a sense of place quite absent in most of Vientiane’s more business orientated hotels.

From the high-ceilinged lobby with its low-slung furniture, to the fragrant gardens and Lao style rooms, Green Park pays more than a nod to Laos’ cultural heritage.

The restaurant serves great Lao inspired meals and has a terrific location overlooking the marshlands of a nearby lake frequented by local fishermen and abundant birdlife.
