Hilton debuts in Laos with DoubleTree by Hilton Vientiane

DoubleTree by Hilton Vientiane marks Hilton’s landmark entry into Laos, capturing the city's dynamism with breathtaking views of the cityscape

Leading global hospitality company Hilton Hilton (NYSE: HLT)  on September 1 announced the opening of DoubleTree by Hilton Vientiane, marking Hilton’s foray into Laos and the hospitality group’s 10th market in South East Asia.
DoubleTree by Hilton Vientiane is located in the heart of Laos’ capital city with access to major transport hubs and iconic local attractions, making it a prime choice for business and leisure travellers.

The opening reflects Hilton’s continued expansion in South East Asia, spotlighting the growth opportunities in the region where Hilton is set to nearly double its portfolio in the coming years.
President, Asia Pacific, ​​​​Hilton, Alan Watts, said “Laos boasts a rich cultural heritage and stunning natural landscapes. With the opening of DoubleTree by Hilton Vientiane, we are honoured to bring Hilton’s signature hospitality to the heart of this up-and-coming destination.”
He added “This latest addition to our portfolio underscores Hilton’s commitment to being where our guests want to be, and to capturing the growing travel demand in this dynamic region." 

The opening of DoubleTree by Hilton Vientiane is part of the upscale full-service brand’s growing portfolio in the Asia-Pacific. Known for its contemporary accommodation, unpretentious hospitality, thoughtful amenities, and signature chocolate chip cookie presented to each guest at check-in, the award-winning brand recently marked another significant milestone as it surpassed 100 properties in the Asia-Pacific region.
With nearly 80 DoubleTree by Hilton properties in the pipeline in Asia Pacific, all offering a double dose of comfort and care, the brand will contribute to Hilton’s target to surpass 1,000 trading hotels in the region by 2025.
Senior vice president, Brand Management, Asia Pacific, Hilton, Alexandra Jaritz said “Since opening our first hotel in the Asia-Pacific in 2008, DoubleTree by Hilton has grown to more than 100 hotels across the region today – testament to the brand’s loyal and growing customer base. Guests in Vientiane can expect a warm welcome which starts with a signature chocolate chip cookie on arrival, and continues with inviting guest spaces and thoughtful service throughout their stay.”
Alexandra Jaritz added “Laos is rich with history and heritage, and DoubleTree by Hilton Vientiane’s prime location makes it an ideal base for travellers to explore the city and enjoy a vibrant getaway where culture and nature meet.”
Located at the intersection of Rue Setthathirath and Rue Manthatourath, DoubleTree by Hilton Vientiane is close to That Dam, an iconic stupa in the heart of the city centre. Several iconic cultural and historical attractions, such as the Presidential Palace and Sisaket Temple, lie within walking distance of the hotel.
For business travellers, the hotel is conveniently situated near the financial district and major transport hubs in the city – about a 15-minute drive from Wattay International Airport and a half-hour drive from the high-speed Vientiane Railway Station.

The hotel boasts 188 well-appointed rooms and suites, with each room featuring uninterrupted views of the cityscape or the Mekong River. From stylish and contemporary guest rooms to spacious and residential suites, these accommodations guarantee feel-good moments throughout the stay. Each room intertwines contemporary design with rich Lao cultural heritage, and comes furnished with modern amenities, including high-definition televisions and ergonomic work areas, so guests can relax, connect, and feel right at home.
During their stay, guests will be able to relax at the hotel’s rooftop pool, and the property also boasts a fully equipped 24-hour fitness centre with state-of-the-art equipment available for guests who wish to stay active.
The hotel features three dining concepts, providing guests with diverse culinary options. At Origin, the hotel’s all-day dining restaurant, guests can indulge in a wide selection of international and local cuisines, including unique Lao comfort food reimagined with a Western twist - such as garlic-baked Lao Escargot and "Luang Prabang" grilled sausage. Embracing a farm-to-table ethos, the restaurant supports the local community by using fresh, locally sourced ingredients in their offerings.
Those looking to unwind can head to Nico’s, the hotel’s spacious sports bar, where they can catch televised games over a variety of pub grub. The hotel’s rooftop Pool Bar offers an idyllic escape, where guests can escape the city bustle and enjoy spectacular sunset views.
