Discover Luang Prabang, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with the comforts of HOMM
Luang Prabang, Laos, November 2024 – Homm, part of Banyan Group’s multi-brand ecosystem, expands its footprint with the opening of Homm Souvannaphoum Luang Prabang. Once the residence of Prince Souvanna Phouma, Laos’ former prime minister, the hotel showcases a distinct blend of French colonial architecture with traditional Lao design.
Featuring 24 spacious accommodations with private balconies, the conserved mansion is surrounded by verdant tropical gardens, a spa, and a swimming pool, offering guests a sense of comfort and familiarity.
Homm Souvannaphoum Luang Prabang enjoys an unbeatable central location to explore Laos’ ancient capital. The nearest markets and local attractions such as the Mekong River and Mount Phou Si are minutes away by foot. Guests can also pedal around the UNESCO World Heritage site and nearby villages at their own pace through the hotel’s complimentary bicycle rental.
“We’re delighted to expand the Homm brand with the launch of Homm Souvannaphoum Luang Prabang, the first in Laos. Homm was created to provide a sense of home with originality for guests who seek warm, easy-going and reliable service coupled with unique identifying experiences. With Luang Prabang’s rich cultural heritage, it is the perfect destination to introduce Homm,” shared Mr. Philip Lim, Senior Vice President, Head of Regional Operations and Group Specialist Services, Banyan Group.
“Whether you’re exploring the vibrant night markets or relaxing by the Mekong, Luang Prabang feels like a familiar haven, where you can rediscover warmth, a sense of belonging, and a home away from home,” he adds.
Measuring 29 to 34 square metres, rooms are designed to provide a homey atmosphere with comfortable beds for a good night’s sleep, soothing shower, and sensible essentials. Private balconies overlook the garden and/or pool.
At 45 square metres, the Laos Suite comes with a sitting area, a large walk-in-closet, and a Victorian-style bathtub fit for a queen. The 68 sqm Maison Suite was formerly the bedroom of Prince Souvanna Phoumma, and exudes a stately yet relaxed ambiance with a king-sized bed, a lounge area, a spacious bathroom and an airy balcony.
Some of the distinct features setting Homm Souvannaphoum Luang Prabang apart are woven into the guest experience. An ode to the Homm brand, the hotel adopts an origami emblem of the clouded leopard – a critically endangered wild cat endemic in the region – as a signature design touchpoint.
