For many travellers, Vientiane has long been the quieter counterpart to Southeast Asia’s bustling capitals—a city best known for its laid-back rhythm, French colonial architecture and riverside sunsets. With the opening of Avani+ Lanexang Vientiane Hotel, the Lao capital gains a contemporary hospitality address that reflects its steady evolution as a destination for both business and leisure.
Located along Fa Ngum Road overlooking Chao Anouvong Park and the Mekong River, the 197-room hotel marks Avani Hotels & Resorts’ second property in Laos, joining Avani+ Luang Prabang. Together, the two hotels offer travellers the opportunity to experience both the country’s cultural heart and its political capital through the lens of the brand’s relaxed, design-led approach to hospitality.
For those interested to enjoy the two cities and hotels at a leisurely pace, they can experience the Bohème cruise between Vientiane and Luang Prabang on a 6-day 5-night voyage.
A Contemporary Base By The Mekong
Designed for modern travellers seeking comfort without excess, Avani+ Lanexang Vientiane balances practical design with warm contemporary interiors. Accommodation ranges from well-appointed Deluxe Rooms to a spacious Presidential Suite, with layouts that cater equally to business travellers, weekend visitors and longer stays.
The hotel is opening in phases, with guestrooms, leisure facilities and selected meeting spaces available from launch, while additional dining venues and wellness experiences will debut throughout the year.
Dining will become a defining feature of the property. Mekong Mosaic, the hotel’s all-day dining restaurant, showcases international favourites alongside Lao-inspired cuisine through live cooking stations and wellness-focused menus. In the months ahead, guests can also look forward to Sabaidee Social, a Mediterranean-inspired tapas bar; The Pantry, a café and co-working space; and Salongxay, a refined Thai-Lao restaurant celebrating regional flavours in a contemporary setting.
Discovering A Different Side Of Vientiane
Beyond its guestrooms, Avani+ Lanexang Vientiane has been conceived as a social and business hub. An outdoor swimming pool and fitness centre are already welcoming guests, with AvaniSpa and expanded wellness facilities set to open later as part of the hotel’s phased launch.
The property also introduces one of the city’s larger event venues, with Lanexang Hall accommodating up to 320 guests alongside additional meeting rooms and outdoor event spaces.
For visitors looking to experience the city beyond its landmarks, curated local experiences and personalised concierge services provide access to Vientiane’s markets, cafés, cultural attractions and riverside lifestyle. As Vientiane continues to attract travellers seeking a slower, more authentic pace of discovery, Avani+ Lanexang Vientiane arrives as a timely addition—bringing contemporary hospitality to a capital that is quietly coming into its own.
