Radisson RED Vientiane is anticipated to open its doors in Q4 2024, introducing this pioneering (upper)upscale brand's bold spirit and world-class business and leisure facilities to Laos.

Radisson Hotel Group has accelerated its expansion strategy in Asia Pacific with the announcement of its inaugural hotel in another South East Asian capital city: Vientiane, the capital of Laos. The signing of Radisson RED Vientiane in partnership with La Vie Hotels & Resorts marks the company's first Radisson RED brand in Laos, featuring distinctive designs that inspire and connect guests to the destination. The new hotel expands upon the milestone signing of a Master Collaboration Agreement with La Vie Hotels & Resorts to incorporate over 30 hotels into the Group's portfolio over the next 10 years.

Projected to open its doors in Q4 2024, Radisson RED Vientiane will introduce a new era of dynamic and stylish hospitality to this rapidly-emerging city, with standout social spaces and designs tailored for guests to unwind in a casual hotel setting. This opening will come at an opportune time for Radisson Hotel Group; Laos welcomed more than 2.4 million international visitors in the first nine months of 2023 - a 285% surge compared to the same period last year¹. The country is now aiming to attract at least 4.6 million visitors and earn tourism revenues of USD 700 million this year², which has been designated "Visit Laos Year 2024."

Radisson RED Vientiane is a new-build property that will rise in the heart of the city, surrounded by government offices, shops, markets and restaurants, and just a short distance from the Mekong River waterfront. This (upper)upscale lifestyle hotel will offer 145 rooms and suites, including a collection of Pool Access Rooms, plus a pool, pool bar, restaurant, fitness center and business lounge. It will also set the stage for world-class meetings and events with 487 square meters of function space, including two ballrooms.

Vientiane's Wattay International Airport is just 15 minutes' drive from the new Radisson RED hotel, and the city's rail terminal offers high-speed train services to China and, in future, to Thailand.

The new Radisson RED hotel in Vientiane marks the latest expansion for the brand with nearly 80 hotels in operation and under development including recent openings and signings in Auckland, Berlin, Tbilisi, Belgrade, Liverpool, and Lagos, as well as upcoming openings in Phuket and Cebu.
