Not your standard hotel, the Himawari features 1-3 bedroom apartments with kitchenettes and daily housekeeping service. The Himawari is also fabulously located on the Mekong River. We have been lucky enough to get an apartment overlooking the river, where we captured this shot of the sunrise:
The other great feature of the Himawari is the daily breakfast buffet, which is included with our room rate. The breakfast has standard Western fare such as cereal, toast, and bacon, as well as local options including miso soup and fish porridge. At the cook-to-order station, you can get eggs or kyteow, a rice noodle soup.
In addition to overlooking the river, our room also looks down on the back courtyard, which hosts daily events. Last night, Nestle held a corporate function complete with a band and a smoke machine. At the moment, the hotel staff is setting up a stage surrounded by at least 50 tables, so I'm quite intrigued to see what happens tonight!
