As a comprehensive renovation that harmoniously integrates its rich heritage while introducing new contemporary luxuries draws to a close, La Résidence Phou Vao in Luang Prabang is set to reopen on 1st November.
Following its acquisition from Belmond by HMD Asia, operators of the acclaimed Shinta Mani Hotels, La Résidence Phou Vao has been undergoing an extensive transformation to honour its heritage while elevating the guest experience.
The redesign is being directed by Sanya Souvanna Phouma, a direct descendant of the Laotian royal family, to ensure full authenticity even while combining traditional craftsmanship with contemporary elegance.
Phouma said of the renovation: “We wanted to create a sanctuary that remains true to its unique blend of Lao heritage and French art de vivre while offering contemporary comfort and refinement. Every detail of the redesign has been carefully considered to provide an atmosphere of quiet elegance and cultural depth.”
Perched atop the tranquil Phou Vao Hill, this reimagined sanctuary offers unique sweeping views of Luang Prabang's UNESCO World Heritage-listed temples and sacred mountains along with refined comforts that reflect its distinguished history as the official guest house for state visitors and other dignitaries.
