Marriott International has signed an agreement with KS Hotels to debut The Luxury Collection to Cambodia and Laos through the conversion of two boutique properties: La Résidence Angkor in Siem Reap and La Résidence Phou Vao in Luang Prabang.
The move will mark Marriott’s first hotel in Laos and the debut of The Luxury Collection brand in both countries.
Both hotels are expected to undergo upgrades to meet the brand’s global standards while preserving their architectural character and local design influences.
La Résidence Phou Vao in Luang Prabang is expected to join The Luxury Collection in October 2026. Located on a hill overlooking the UNESCO-listed old town, the property sits within tropical gardens with views of temples and the Mekong River.
Following its transition, the hotel is expected to offer 41 rooms and suites designed with Lao craftsmanship and traditional materials. Planned facilities include a restaurant combining French and Lao cuisine, an outdoor pool, fitness centre, yoga deck and spa. Meeting rooms and a retail boutique are also planned.
Luang Prabang, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is known for its preserved architecture, temples and religious traditions. The property is located about 4.9 km from Luang Prabang International Airport.
La Résidence Angkor in Siem Reap is scheduled to join The Luxury Collection in October 2027. The property is located along the Siem Reap River near Angkor Archaeological Park.
The hotel is expected to feature 59 guestrooms, including 14 suites, designed with Cambodian architectural elements. Plans also include three private residences with outdoor pools.
Dining facilities are expected to include several venues ranging from a brasserie to a street-facing restaurant serving Mekong regional cuisine. Other planned facilities include a spa with six treatment rooms, an outdoor pool, fitness centre and event space.
“This signing marks a defining milestone for Marriott International, as it represents the company’s debut hotel in Laos and the entry of The Luxury Collection in two inspiring, culturally rich destinations,” said Rajeev Menon, president, Asia-Pacific excluding China, Marriott International.
