Don Chan Palace

Don Chan Palace is a large hotel overlooking the Mekong River in Vientiane with room types ranging from standard accommodations to luxury suites. It features a combined indoor-outdoor pool, fitness center, spa facilities, and multiple restaurants distributed across its floors.

The hotel was established in 2004 and used its elevated location on the Mekong to work around the city's building height restrictions. This strategic positioning allowed a tall structure in an area otherwise limited by construction regulations.

The building blends modern architecture with traditional Laotian design elements visible throughout its rooms and common spaces. The dining venues serve local and Chinese cuisine, reflecting the region's culinary character.

The building sits on elevated ground with direct access to the river, making it reachable in all weather conditions. Its location offers views of the Mekong banks and allows visitors to easily orient themselves when exploring the surrounding area.

The Top Club Restaurant sits at the building's highest point and is the tallest dining venue in Vientiane, offering panoramic views across the river and surrounding landscape. From this vantage point, visitors see the Mekong scenery from a perspective few other locations in the city provide.
