Description
Le Calao is set high up in a sprawling French colonial building across from the Mekong. Their restaurant terrace affords diners beautiful views of the river and coast. Inside, the breezy reception has an old-school, almost Casablanca feel. With just a few rooms spread over two floors, all are generously sized and take full advantage of the riverside location. All rooms face the water -- and have balconies to soak up the winning views -- with interiors that are airy and crisp white with intricately carved woodwork and delicate duvets. Bathrooms are huge but strangely decorated with a seashell motif that doesn't jive with the simplicity carefully laid out in other spaces. Rates include taxes and breakfast.
