You Should Experience This Enticing Resort In The Laos Jungle
Designer Bill Bensley is known for extravagant, fanciful designs on view in hotels throughout Asia. But it’s hard to imagine that he had a canvas as broad as Rosewood Luang Prabang which opened a few months ago just outside of this spiritual, temple laden Laos city. Every one of the 23 rooms has a different, thematic, intensely colorful décor reflecting the area’s history, ranging from royal to Colonial military to hill tribe and explorer. Bensley and team sourced artifacts from different eras to punctuate each room’s theme from 1900’s illustrations to vintage cameras, military caps,croquet mallets and crafts from the Lisu, Mhong, Akha, Lahu, Palaung and Mien Lao tribes. There is something of interest in every corner, often overwhelmingly so, displayed against a vivid background.
