The Riverside Boutique Resort is the result of an international partnership involving the Greenpark Boutique Hotel, which, since its creation in 2005, has solidly established itself as the Number 1 boutique hotel in Vientiane.

Based on a beautiful design by Lao architect Sakpaseuth Phanrajsavong, the Riverside Boutique Resort will celebrate and promote the exceptional cultural and natural diversity of Laos. The thirty-four rooms and suites will all feature elegant décors drawing on the cultures of various ethnic groups, including the Akha, Hmong, Katu, Lanten, Lao Lum, Tai Daeng, Tai Leu and Yao. Located on the banks of the Nam Song River, next to a small wooden bridge, the Resort is set in a luxuriant tropical garden and organized around a central swimming pool. All rooms as well as the restaurant and the bar offer stunning views over the limestone mountains of Vang Vieng.

The restaurant offers indoor seating, to enjoy the air-conditioned comfort of an elegantly set-up room on the first floor, as well as outdoor seating.

Vang Vieng Located mid-way between Luang Prabang and Vientiane, Vang Vieng is both an ideal stop-over for tourists travelling between the two cities and an attractive weekend getaway for city residents. At an altitude of about 300 meters, the temperature there is a bit cooler than in Vientiane, warm in the day to cool at night in winter (Dec-Feb). While many visitors to Laos are initially attracted by the UNESCO heritage city of Luang Prabang, Vang Vieng captures best the natural beauty of the country. With its breath-taking views of rock and limestone mountains, caves and rock outcrops overhanging the Nam Song River, it offers unique sceneries and a range of outdoor activities.

With its conference facility able to accommodate up to 120 people, the Riverside Boutique Resort is a perfect choice for business meetings, seminars and retreats.

The Riverside Boutique Resort provides thirty-two Deluxe rooms and two suites luxuriously designed and equipped with wooden furniture and exclusive fabric.
