Sofitel makes debut in Laos
AccorHotels has launched its luxury Sofitel brand in Laos, with the opening of a new property in Luang Prabang.
The new Sofitel Luang Prabang is set in a mansion built in the 1900s for the French Governor’s family. It features just 25 suites which range in size from 46 to 120m² and feature shuttered windows, hand-carved wooden beds and private gardens. Some of the units also feature private plunge pools.

The hotel also serves as a gallery, housing a collection of Indochinese art and a library with one of Luang Prabang’s largest book collections.
“I think that what guests will find most captivating at Sofitel Luang Prabang is the fusion that occurs on so many levels,” said the hotel’s GM, Pablo Barruti.
“Heritage is married with modern comfort, and the enduring tranquillity, both within the verdant gardens and just outside in the serene residential quarter, will appeal to guests in search of refuge in this age of sensory overload.”
In terms of F&B, the hotel’s restaurant, Governor’s Grill, offers both indoor and al-fresco seating in a colonial-style tent overlooking the garden, and there is also a wine cellar. Other facilities include a spa, a 25-metre mosaic-tiled swimming pool and a fitness centre, and guests will also be offered yoga and pilates classes.
For the MICE market, Sofitel Luang Prabang houses a boardroom and a 70-pax lounge, while the garden can host up to 200 guests for outdoor events.
Sofitel Luang Prabang becomes AccorHotels’ second property in the UNESCO World Heritage-listed town, following the 3 Nagas hotel, which forms part of the MGallery Collection. The company also operates ibis and Mercure hotels in the Lao capital Vientiane.
