Two firsts for Rosewood coming to Laos

Rosewood Hotels & Resorts has been appointed by Waterfall Management Sole Co. to manage Rosewood Luang Prabang in Laos, scheduled to open 2017. Located just 10 minutes’ drive from the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Luang Prabang in Laos, the resort will be situated in a virtually untouched natural setting with no sightlines to civilization.

Each of Rosewood Luang Prabang’s 22 accommodations will be bordered by a stream or riverbank and will feature open-air living rooms, tubs and showers. Guests will have a choice between the resort’s 17 villas and five luxury tents, which will feature design elements inspired by Lao tradition and French colonial style. The 1,076 square-foot luxury tents – a first for Rosewood – will also boast private dining areas and wrap-around decks. 

An arrival manor, the first indication of the forest retreat to visitors entering the area, will offer a bar and a bistro serving French and Laotian cuisine. The manor will also house the brand’s signature Sense, A Rosewood Spa with three individual treatment rooms.

All Rosewood Luang Prabang villas will feature open-air living rooms, tubs and showers.

The resort will be designed and built by Bangkok-based American architect Bill Bensley according to UNESCO guidelines, and will also be the site for the first philanthropic hospitality school in Laos, which will give back to the local community by providing its students with professional hospitality training.

Luang Prabang, one of the best-preserved French Colonial territories in Asia, is known for its strong monastic culture and dozens of unique temples. Strategically located along the fertile bank of the Mekong River, the city is surrounded by dense vegetation and enriched with the natural fragrances of the native frangipani and coffee trees.
