Climb to the top of Mount Phu Si and be rewarded with terrific views. Try to visit at sunrise or sundown for an even more memorable experience.

This naturally raised area of land is often on the itineraries of visitors to Luang Prabang. But Phousi Hill isn't the area's only highlight. Night Market, Morning Market, and Royal Palace Museum are some other worthwhile sights nearby.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (166 reviews)

Beautiful historical property managed by kind, professional, and attentive staff. We enjoyed a wonderful 2-night/3-day stay there in May 2025. The hotel is clean, peaceful, and excellently-located close to the river, the night market, and all of the temples. We highly recommend staying at this property. It is a perfect base from which to explore Luang Prabang.
