First Luxury Hotel Opening Soon in Vang Vieng, Laos

Vang Vieng, Laos, February 23, 2012 --(PR.com)-- A major development is announced in the Lao hospitality industry with the forthcoming opening in April of the first Resort specifically targeting the high-end market in Vang Vieng. The Riverside Boutique Resort will become the first upscale establishment offering an international level of comfort and services in this beautiful district.

More information will be provided on the Facebook page of the Resort at: www.facebook.com/riversidevangvieng

Based on a beautiful design by Lao architect Sakpaseuth Phanrajsavong, the Riverside Boutique Resort will celebrate and promote the exceptional cultural and natural diversity of Laos. The thirty-four rooms and suites will all feature elegant décors drawing on the cultures of various ethnic groups, including the Akha, Hmong, Katu, Lahu, Lanten, Lao Lum, Tai Daeng and Yao.

Located on the banks of the Nam Song River, next to a small wooden bridge, the Resort is set in a luxuriant tropical garden and organized around a central swimming pool. All rooms as well as the restaurant and the bar offer stunning views over the limestone mountains of Vang Vieng.

Located mid-way between Luang Prabang and Vientiane, Vang Vieng is both an ideal stop-over for tourists travelling between the two cities and attractive weekend getaway for city residents. At an altitude of about 300 meters, the temperature there is a bit cooler than in Vientiane, warm in the day to cool at night in winter (Dec-Feb). While many visitors to Laos are initially attracted by the UNESCO heritage city of Luang Prabang, Vang Vieng captures best the natural beauty of the country. With its breath-taking views of rock and limestone mountains, caves and rock outcrops overhanging the Nam Song River, it offers unique sceneries and a range of outdoor activities.
