\"Marriott<\/a>Bangkok, Thailand, March 17, 2026 \/ TRAVELINDEX \/ Marriott International, Inc.<\/strong> today announced the signing of a landmark agreement with KS Hotels to introduce The Luxury Collection to Cambodia and Laos<\/strong> through the conversion of two storied boutique hotels: La R\u00e9sidence Angkor in Siem Reap<\/em> and La R\u00e9sidence Phou Vao in Luang Prabang<\/em>. The agreement is set to mark Marriott\u2019s entry in Laos and the debut of The Luxury Collection in both countries.<\/p>\n

Long regarded as icons within their respective destinations, both properties are set to undergo thoughtful enhancements to align with The Luxury Collection\u2019s global standards while preserving their architectural character, cultural authenticity, and longstanding heritage. The properties\u2019 anticipated entries into the brand\u2019s curated portfolio signal a new chapter, bringing internationally recognized luxury to properties deeply rooted in place.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis signing marks a defining milestone for Marriott International, as it represents the company\u2019s debut hotel in Laos and the entry of The Luxury Collection in two inspiring, culturally-rich destinations,\u201d said Rajeev Menon, President, Asia Pacific excluding China, Marriott International. \u201cPerfect for discerning global explorers, these properties are set to blend architectural grace and locally inspired design. As part of our global portfolio, these properties will continue to celebrate their cultural identity while offering guests the elevated service and immersive experiences that define The Luxury Collection.\u201d<\/p>\n

La R\u00e9sidence Phou Vao, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Luang Prabang<\/strong><\/p>\n

Expected to debut in October 2026, La R\u00e9sidence Phou Vao will join The Luxury Collection as one of Luang Prabang\u2019s most distinctive hilltop retreats. Set within expansive tropical gardens overlooking the UNESCO-protected old town, golden temples, and the Mekong River, the property has long been regarded as a sanctuary of tranquility in the former royal capital of Laos.<\/p>\n

Following the transition, it is expected to feature 41 spacious rooms and suites adorned with traditional Lao craftsmanship, refined materials, and private balconies or patios framing views of the surrounding hills. Scheduled enhancements are slated to further elevate guests\u2019 experience while safeguarding the property\u2019s architectural identity.<\/p>\n

Culinary plans include the anticipated opening of \u2018La Brasserie de la R\u00e9sidence\u2019, bringing together classic French bistro cuisine and an exploratory Lao menu, complemented by open kitchens and a poolside terrace that frames views towards the golden temple of Mount Phousi. Other planned hotel facilities include an outdoor pool, fitness center, an outdoor yoga deck, and Spa, a newly introduced wellness sanctuary. Two meeting rooms and a curated retail boutique are also slated to complete the refreshed offering.<\/p>\n

Nestled at the confluence of the Mekong and Nam Khan rivers, Luang Prabang remains one of Southeast Asia\u2019s most culturally preserved cities. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is defined by French colonial architecture, saffron-robed monks, sacred monasteries, and enduring spiritual traditions. The destination is served by Luang Prabang International Airport (approximately 4.9 km from the hotel) and the Luang Prabang Railway Station (approximately 11.6 km away), offering high-speed regional connections.<\/p>\n

La R\u00e9sidence Angkor, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Siem Reap<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scheduled to debut within The Luxury Collection in October 2027, La R\u00e9sidence Angkor is set to further strengthen Marriott\u2019s presence in Cambodia. A low-rise property, located along the Siem Reap River at the gateway to Angkor, this property has long been a distinguished address for travelers seeking proximity to the Angkor Archaeological Park.<\/p>\n

The property is slated to offer 59 thoughtfully appointed rooms, including 14 spacious suites ranging from 40 to 126 square meters, each enriched with refined classical Cambodian design elements, blending heritage with contemporary comfort. Plans also include featuring three exclusive residences fitted with private outdoor pools, providing an elevated level of privacy and luxury.<\/p>\n

Dining at La R\u00e9sidence Angkor anticipates spanning a rich spectrum of epicurean experiences, from the alfresco elegance of La Brasserie de La R\u00e9sidence to Khmer Funk, a street-accessed eatery buzzing with Mekong Regional flavors, alongside a caf\u00e9, an Explorer\u2019s-themed cocktail lounge, and a pool bar. Other planned guest facilities include an outdoor pool, fitness center, and Spa, a new addition to the property featuring six treatment rooms, hydrothermal facilities, and a relaxation lounge. Additional facilities include one function room, and a boutique offering locally crafted artisanal products.<\/p>\n

Angkor Archaeological Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world\u2019s most extraordinary sacred landscapes, remains at the heart of Siem Reap\u2019s cultural magnetism. Beyond the temples, the town offers vibrant markets, contemporary arts initiatives, and access to Tonl\u00e9 Sap Lake\u2019s floating communities. Siem Reap\u2013Angkor International Airport is located approximately 45 km from the property.<\/p>\n

Strengthening The Luxury Collection Presence in Southeast Asia<\/strong><\/p>\n

Upon completion of the rebranding, La R\u00e9sidence Phou Vao, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Luang Prabang, is expected to mark Marriott\u2019s entry into Laos, and La R\u00e9sidence Angkor, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Siem Reap, will join the company\u2019s portfolio of hotels in Cambodia which currently includes properties in Siem Reap and Phnom Penh. Together, these additions will expand The Luxury Collection\u2019s footprint in Southeast Asia, complementing the brand\u2019s existing portfolio in Thailand, Singapore and Indonesia.<\/p>\n

\u201cOperating within the Marriott International franchise framework enables a strong strategic collaboration bringing together the global reach, distribution power, and brand equity of Marriott with HMD Asia\u2019s deep local market expertise and hands-on approach to luxury management. The result is a world-class brand experience that never loses sight of what our owners value most: individuality, service excellence, and sustained asset performance.\u201d Anthony Lark, Executive Director, HMD Asia<\/p>\n

As members of The Luxury Collection, and part of Marriott Bonvoy\u2019s global portfolio of over 30 extraordinary hotel brands, both hotels will offer curated Destination Discovery experiences designed to connect guests meaningfully with the cultural, artistic, and historical heritage of Laos and Cambodia, hallmarks of the brand\u2019s commitment to authentic, place-driven luxury.<\/p>\n
