Centara Hotels & Resorts has signed its first ever hotel in Laos.

Set to open in 2017, the five-star Centara Grand Hotel Vientiane will be a new-build French colonial-style property located in the centre of the Lao capital. It is being developed by the Simuong Group at a cost of THB1.5 billion (US$46 million).

“Laos is a natural market for us, being a direct neighbour of Thailand, and we are delighted that we shall have a five-star hotel in the centre of downtown Vientiane,” said Chris Bailey, Centara’s senior vice president of sales & marketing.

“This will add to our marketing strength in Southeast Asia, providing an exciting new destination for our large customer base around the world and adding to the opportunities for our business partners.”

Centara Grand Hotel Vientiane will have 200 rooms and a range of luxury facilities, including two restaurants, a spa, swimming pool, fitness centre and kids’ club. It will also offer meeting facilities, including a ballroom.

Laos becomes the ninth country in Centara’s international portfolio, while the Centara Grand Hotel Vientiane will mark the company’s 20th luxury ‘Grand’ property.
