Combining
the traditional and contemporary into a seamless whole can be difficult,
but the Green Park has succeeded in doing just that.
Raised tile pathways set amongst
jar fountains lead from the elegant reception area to the central
courtyard, where contemporary Lao-style pavilions surround a lovely
swimming pool and adjacent reflecting pool.
Stylish guest rooms boast rich
wood floors, beautiful Lao silks draped over chic teakwood furniture,
and all the modern conveniences, including free wireless Internet
access.Cozy balconies have views of the pools and the newly planted
frangipani trees that dot the surrounding garden areas.
Set next to the undeveloped Nong
Chanh Park, Vientiane's largest, and a 15-minute walk to the Morning
Market, the Green Park is far enough away to feel secluded but not
too far to feel isolated from the city. Add to this tranquil setting
an eager-to-please staff that caters to guests' every whim and you
get a hotel that has set the bar extremely high for future boutique
properties in Vientiane.
