★★★★★

Burasari Heritage is a boutique hotel in the central old town, designed in a local heritage style, and it is part of the Burasari group that also runs hotels in Thailand. It is close to the night market, the Royal Palace Museum and the riverside cafes, which means the evening street life is on the doorstep and the alms-giving route is nearby. The hotel's own website lists a restaurant, a set of facilities and a range of room categories including a Deluxe Balcony room, and it publishes its own guide to exploring Luang Prabang, including the city of temples. It is a good fit for travellers who want character and comfort without the price of the top-tier retreats, and it is listed on Expedia for easy comparison of rates.

Location and getting around: the hotel's position in the centre means you can walk to the night market, Mount Phousi, the Royal Palace Museum and Wat Xieng Thong within minutes or a short stroll, and many riverside restaurants and cafes are a short walk away. A tuk-tuk is easy to get at the end of the street for trips to the falls or the airport. Because it is in the busiest part of town, evenings can be lively, so ask for a room at the back if you are a light sleeper.

Rooms and facilities: rooms follow the heritage design, and the Deluxe Balcony category gives you a place to sit and watch the street. Ask the hotel about bathroom, air conditioning and wifi details for your room type. The hotel has an on-site restaurant for breakfast and dinner, and a facilities page lists the hotel's services. Check the hotel website for current details of any pool or spa when you book.

Who it suits: couples, first-time visitors and anyone who wants a heritage feel in the centre at a mid-range price. Good to know: the hotel is a short walk from the monks' morning route, so you can join the alms-giving ceremony as an observer without a long walk. For a quieter stay, choose a room away from the street, and book early for the cool season from November to February. Confirm whether breakfast is included in your rate.
