DK Eyewitness "The first “five-star” hotel in the 1990s, Lao Plaza is a modern six-story building located in the heart of the city. Although not atmospheric, the hotel is efficient, clean, and offers good food."
Rough Guide "This gleaming, Thaibuilt business hotel is just a block from the quaint guesthouses of Nam Phou Place, but to look at it you’d think it came from another planet."
Fodor's "Something of a local landmark, Lao Plaza stands six stories tall in the center of town." Full review

DK Eyewitness "Among the best hotels in Vientiane during the 1960s, Lane Xang took on a decidedly Stalinist feel after it was nationalized in 1975."
Rough Guide "It has a charming retro appeal, and the rooms are large, clean and quirky, with impressive bedsteads."
Lonely Planet "Built in the 1960s on the site of a prominent Lan Xang–era wat, this hotel facing the Mekong was once the classiest place in town. It...retains a certain socialist-era feel." Full review
