The Alila Hotels and Resorts group has unveiled its second property in Indochina.
Called Alila Luang Prabang and due to open in October 2010, the new hotel and spa will be located in the UNESCO heritage town of Luang Prabang in Laos and overlook the confluence of the Mekong and Nam Khan rivers.
Combining existing colonial buildings built between 1910 and 1920 with new structures designed to complement the original designs, the all-suite property will feature a total of 23 suites, each with a private garden.
The property will offer views of the surrounding sacred mountains and landmarks.
There will also be a Spa Alila facility with four single and double treatment rooms as well as hydrotherapy and aromatherapy baths. The treatment menu will focus on natural therapies using locally-sourced ingredients.
Alila Luang Prabang is also intended to complement the group's existing property in central Luang Prabang - 3Nagas by Alila - that was converted into a boutique hotel in 2003. Details: www.alilahotels.com
