Burasari Heritage Luang Prabang

Burasari Heritage sits on a still riverside lane in Luang Prabang, the UNESCO-listed town where the pace loosens and there is room to slow down. The house draws together French colonial forms and the warmth of traditional Lao teakwood building, the two idioms sitting easily side by side. There is a riverside lounge and deck for taking in the water, and the old avenues of the town, with their temples…Burasari Heritage sits on a still riverside lane in Luang Prabang, the UNESCO-listed town where the pace loosens and there is room to slow down. The house draws together French colonial forms and the warmth of traditional Lao teakwood building, the two idioms sitting easily side by side. There is a riverside lounge and deck for taking in the water, and the old avenues of the town, with their temples, markets and sidewalk cafes, begin just beyond the door. Suites are generous and dressed in Indochinese style, with locally handcrafted textiles that give the rooms a sense of another time. The town centre is around eight minutes' drive, and Old Luang Prabang Airport about thirteen.
