Hotel de La Paix

With our nuptials rapidly approaching, selecting a honeymoon destination has been a source of both excitement and frustration.  When I think honeymoon, I see images of rich blue Kauai waves, the silver sands of Jamaica, or romantic Gondolas gracing across Venetian waters.  My fiance, however, dreams of Moai on Easter Island.  Luckily, an option like Hotel De La Paix in Laos may be the answer.

Hotel de la Paix Luang Prabang is built on a UNESCO World Heritage site in the former royal capital of Laos.  This boutique resort hotel has 23 sanctuaries of private space in the form of luxury suites.  Each suite has its own secluded outdoor garden and a front terrace overlooking a Eden-esque courtyard.  Four of the 23 suites also include a private private swimming pool.  You read correctly, not a spa tub, a swimming pool.

This luxury resort in Luang Prabang is the reincarnation of a century old property with historical significance.  It was once a Governor’s residence and a military fort.  Blending the old with the new, the exterior of the original buildings was restored to French colonial style, while a new wing baring true resemblance of a Laotian village was added.

The Hotel de la Paix Luang Prabang resort offers natural spa therapies, gourmet dining and a private Asian cooking school, all adhering to Laos’ ancient health and wellness tradition. Set against a backdrop of majestic peaks, this resort is the perfect escape for a taste of royal living with the promise of an exotic adventure in an unconventional location.

Hôtel de la Paix, Cambodia

The luxurious Hôtel de la Paix is a dream holiday destination. Since 2008, Hôtel de la Paix has earned a stellar reputation for creating some of the most unique Christmas trees in Southeast Asia.

Hôtel de la Paix is located in Siem Reap, Cambodia, and has an incredible Christmas exhibit on display for both hotel guests and visitors.

The hotel unveiled a magnificent Christmas tree for all to enjoy. This original Christmas tree is composed of 3,200 mind-blowing white feathers. The tree’s feathers are carefully hung on individual wires from the ceiling in the hotel’s stylish lobby.

This unbelievable feather Christmas tree was a tedious project. The hotel’s staff took more than 10 days of preparation, and included several dedicated staff members and three engineers to complete.

Upon the unveiling of the tree, Hôtel de la Paix and hotel guests made a special donation to their community partner, The Green Gecko Project for street children.
