A new riverside sanctuary in Laos
The Avani+ Lanexang Vientiane Hotel is a beautiful addition to the Laos skyline. Situated on Fa Ngum Road, it offers travelers a serene retreat overlooking the Mekong River. The property is designed to cater to both business professionals and leisure seekers who want to be close to the cultural heart of the city. As the hotel rolls out its amenities in phases, guests can already enjoy sophisticated rooms and the delightful Mekong Mosaic restaurant. The hotel serves as a gateway to the local culture, with future plans to introduce even more dining venues and wellness experiences that highlight the unique spirit of Vientiane.
Coastal elegance on the Sunshine Coast
Over in Australia, the Avani Mooloolaba Beach Hotel brings a fresh wave of energy to the Queensland coastline. This 180-room property is a milestone for the area, as it represents the first internationally branded new-build hotel to grace the region in forty years. It is a wonderful spot for those who love the ocean, offering a rooftop terrace and pool that capture the essence of a beachside getaway. The property also features the signature Sully’s Rooftop restaurant, which focuses on locally sourced seafood and fresh ingredients to provide a true taste of the coast.
Commitment to wellness and local connection
Both properties reflect the brand’s dedication to creating spaces that feel personal and connected to their surroundings. Whether it is through the Avani Experience Host service in Australia or the thoughtfully curated dining concepts in Laos, the brand ensures every guest feels at home. These openings are a testament to the brand’s vision of blending international standards with the unique spirit of each destination. Guests can expect a holistic approach to their stay, with dedicated wellness facilities like AvaniFit and AvaniSpa designed to help travelers recharge after a day of exploring local attractions.
