Champasak Palace, Former royal residence in Pakse, Laos
The five-story Champasak Palace stands as a large concrete structure along Highway 13, featuring French architectural elements throughout its design.
Construction of the palace began in 1968 for Prince Chao Boun Oum, but remained incomplete when he fled during the 1974 communist revolution.
The palace represents the transition from royal Laotian rule to communist governance, as it changed from a planned royal residence to a party congress venue.
The building now operates as a hotel, offering guest rooms, meeting facilities, and a restaurant within walking distance of downtown Pakse.
The palace maintains its original French colonial architectural features while functioning as modern accommodation with views across the Mekong River.
