Marriott International has marked its 800th property in Asia Pacific excluding China with its debut in Laos, launching La Résidence Phou Vao, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Luang Prabang. The 36-suite hilltop retreat integrates local Lao craftsmanship and French dining within a UNESCO World Heritage site, expanding the group's regional luxury footprint.
Marriott International has signed a landmark agreement with KS Hotels to introduce The Luxury Collection to Cambodia and Laos. The deal involves rebranding two storied properties, La Résidence Angkor and La Résidence Phou Vao, marking Marriott’s first hotel in Laos. Both heritage sites will undergo thoughtful upgrades before reopening in 2026 and 2027 to offer elevated luxury in these major UNESCO World Heritage destinations.
