Laos Villa Maly

Laos Villa Maly | Urbane Nomads

Overview

The 33-room boutique property is anchored by the 1938-built residence of Princess Khampieng and Prince Khamtan, a grandson of the 19th Century King Zakarine. The residence is located in a neighborhood of garden homes that was once a royal enclave and today ranks as one of Luang Prabang’s most exclusive development zones. In this historic home, Plumeria, the royal couple raised their four children in the house while Khamtan served as prefect of the provinces of Vientiane, Luang Prabang and Sayabouri. He died in a plane crash; his wife lived in the house until her death.

The hotel is set around the historic home, now known as Plumeria (frangipani) with seven additional buildings – each as intimate and comfortable as the annexes of a family compound.

The hotel’s “Art Décor “style is prevalent throughout with an original blend of French and British colonial furnishings , each room stands out as an individual testament to continental aesthetics that reigned in the 1930s and 1940s. The style trades on a melding of familiar, classic lines and the panache of vibrant tropical colors and appeal.

The ambiance is residential, as if one were staying in a private villa. Hence the slogan “A Residence of Charm”.

At the entrance, stylized jasmine lotus bloom serves as both a fountain and a harbinger of the profuse gardens cultivated about the compound. Each of the buildings are named for a flower —Plumeria, Lotus, Heliconia, Hibiscus, Passiflore, Gardenia.

The royal family’s pool remains in its original location, imagined anew with alternating swaths of black and white mosaic tile and framed by an exquisite deck of tropical hardwood.

Figures well as part of a high-end trip to Laos.
