Already thinking about Valentine’s Day? What could be more romantic than a stay at one of Laos’ best hotels and a feast fit for royalty? Inspired by the late Prince Souvannaphouma’s favourite Laotian food, Maison Souvannaphoum Hotel in Luang Prabang (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) unveils “Feast of the Prince,” which features a romantic set dinner served under a marquee, located next to a pond. Decorated with fresh flowers, lanterns and light torches, the atmosphere is accentuated by two Lao traditional dance performances during the course of the dinner.
