H World Group Plans to Open Four New Hotels in Laos by 2027

Expanding its global footprint with properties in Vientiane and Luang Prabang

H World Group is excited to announce the signing of four hotel management agreements in Laos, marking its official entry into the Laotian hospitality market. The new properties are scheduled to open between 2026 and 2027, across key cities such as Vientiane and Luang Prabang.

These agreements will introduce three of H World’s renowned hotel brands—Intercity Hotel, JI Hotel, and Orange Hotel—to Laos for the first time.

Intercity Hotel Vientiane will be the first to welcome guests in early 2026. Strategically located near Wattay International Airport and the Sanjiang Area, it aims to serve both business and leisure travelers.
JI Hotel Vientiane Mekong Riverside, also expected to open in early 2026, will offer a scenic location along the Mekong River in downtown Vientiane.
Orange Hotel Vientiane International Airport is scheduled for a Q3 2026 launch. This property will be the first Orange Hotel outside of China, located close to the airport and Sanjiang Area.
Intercity Hotel Luang Prabang will open its doors in 2027 in the heart of the historic city. The hotel will blend traditional Laotian elements with the brand’s modern aesthetic.

The development of these properties is being carried out in partnership with three key investors: Lao Kunpeng Industrial Co., Ltd., Yuting Hotel Investment Management Co., Ltd., and KP Construction Sole Co., Ltd.. These partners have expressed strong confidence in H World’s management expertise and brand strength.

This expansion comes at a time of increasing tourism in Laos, particularly from China. According to the Laos National Tourism Administration, over 1.97 million international visitors traveled to Laos via the China-Laos Railway in 2024. Notably, Chinese tourists made up more than 60% of this figure, highlighting the growing demand for quality accommodation options in the region.
