This is a classy, simple, but elegant place. The food is excellent, and they have great cooking classes, too. I’ve stayed twice with my family here and would stay again. Most places on Inle are pretty magical, but most have pretty bad food. Inle Heritage is the only one I know of with really good food. Staff are extremely friendly, helpful and well-trained, and the hotel seriously invests in the local community, training chefs, carpenters, housekeepers and managers who work throughout the region.
