Radisson Hotel Group (RHG) has signed with La Vie Hotels & Resorts to introduce its Radisson Red brand in Vientiane, Laos.
The new hotel expands upon the signing of a Master Collaboration Agreement with La Vie Hotels & Resorts to incorporate over 30 hotels into RHG’s portfolio over the next 10 years.
Projected to open its doors in 4Q2024, Radisson Red Vientiane is a new-build property in the heart of the city, surrounded by government offices, shops, markets and restaurants, and just a short distance from the Mekong River waterfront.
This upper upscale lifestyle hotel will offer 145 rooms and suites, including a collection of Pool Access Rooms. Facilities comprise a swimming pool, pool bar, restaurant, fitness centre, business lounge, two ballrooms and meeting venues.
Vientiane’s Wattay International Airport is just 15 minutes’ drive from Radisson Red Vientiane, and the city’s rail terminal offers high-speed train services to China and, in future, to Thailand.
David Nguyen, managing director, Indochina and strategic partnerships, RHG, said: “Radisson Hotel Group’s entry into another South-east Asian capital city is an important moment for our company, as we accelerate our expansion strategy in Asia-Pacific. Our contemporary Radisson Red brand is the perfect fit for this up-and-coming destination, which is attracting a rising number of business and leisure travellers.”
La Vie Hotels and Resorts’ head of South and South-east Asia, Shankar Sreekumar, added: “We are thrilled to build on our partnership to launch the first Radisson Red hotel in Laos. The investment going into Laos at the moment is impressive and Radisson Red will be a welcome addition to the city, bringing an internationally recognised brand to the centre of town. We’re confident Radisson Red Vientiane will become a new icon and leading destination for guests when they travel to Laos.”
