Novotel Vientiane

Frommer's Review

Just a short ride west of the town center, the Novotel Vientiane is a pleasant oasis from the dusty streets and downtown tuk-tuk clamor. The lobby is decorated in a classic Art Deco theme, with stylish woodwork and a domed ceiling painted in a muted pastel yellow -- an attractive invitation to Novotel's fine rooms and services. Renovated deluxe rooms have fine wood furniture and marble bathrooms. Standard rooms are done in pastels with cane furnishings and plain tile bathrooms. Everything is ultratidy. All units feature hangings and artwork that keep your mind in Indochina. Adjoining the lobby is a well-appointed Continental restaurant with indoor and outdoor by-the-pool seating. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the hotel offers a wealth of facilities and services, including use of its smart business center and chic executive lounge. It's a bit far from town but has very convenient amenities and good transportation. The busy disco, Dtec, is always a happening spot.
