Amari Vientiane and Amari Vang Vieng strengthen the appeal of Laos as meetings destination
Brought to you by Onyx Hospitality Group
As Laos emerges as a dynamic travel destination in South-east Asia, its potential for business events and conferences continues to grow.
Some milestone events were the Asean Tourism Forum 2024 and the 18th ASEAN Defence Ministers’ Meeting last November. In April, Lao Digital Week 2025 will take place at the National Convention Centre in Vientiane.
As part of the ongoing drive to enhance tourism and accessibility, Onyx Hospitality Group has firmly established its presence in Laos, with the successful openings of Amari Vang Vieng in 2018 and Amari Vientiane in March this year, further solidifying its commitment to the region’s growth
A hub for business and events at Amari Vientiane
Newly opened in March, Amari Vientiane is an upscale hotel situated along the scenic Mekong River.
With 248 rooms and suites – including deluxe rooms, junior suites, executive suites and a grand presidential suite – the hotel offers a variety of plus accommodations for business travellers. Facilities include a rooftop bar with panoramic views, fitness centre, large outdoor swimming pool and the Breeze Spa for relaxation after a busy day.
For business meetings and corporate events, Amari Vientiane boasts a Grand Ballroom that can accommodate up to 540 guests, making it an ideal venue for conferences, banquets, product launches, and networking events. In addition, multiple meeting rooms equipped with the latest technology offer flexible spaces for workshops, board meetings, and private gatherings.
Dining options include the Amaya Food Gallery, which offers a vibrant atmosphere with live cooking stations that serve Laotian and international cuisine. An executive private dining area with a view of the Mekong offers an impressive spot for networking lunches and business dinners. Meanwhile, Maitree Bar offers coffee and fresh pastries in the day and transforms into a vibrant hub at night, great for socialising, as guests can enjoy cocktails and fine wines accompanied by live entertainment.
A scenic retreat for corporate gatherings at Amari Vang Vieng
Located in Laos’ adventure hub, Amari Vang Vieng offers a refreshing alternative for corporate retreats, incentive trips, and executive getaways. Overlooking the picturesque Song River and surrounded by majestic limestone mountains, this full-service hotel delivers both tranquillity and modern convenience.
With more than 160 rooms, including superior rooms and executive one-bedroom suites, Amari Vang Vieng ensures a comfortable stay with contemporary interiors and large windows that showcase the scenery beyond.
Essence Restaurant serves a diverse menu of Laotian, Thai, and international dishes in a refined setting, perfect for business luncheons and group dining. Or have casual meetings over coffee at Cascade at the Lobby Lounge.
Incentive groups keen to organise activities can take advantage of Amari Vang Vieng’s location to stay while they enjoy a range of outdoor activities that the city is known for. Planners will be spoilt for choice when deciding on their itinerary as they can choose from kayaking, take a slow boat down the Song river, go hot air ballooning, or explore the various caves.
Seamless connectivity
The accessibility of Amari Vientiane and Amari Vang Vieng further makes them convenient choices for corporate travellers from the region.
Amari Vientiane is just 4.8 km from Wattay International Airport, making it a short drive away after long flights.
More recently, the opening of high-speed rail services between Vientiane and Vang Vieng last year connects both cities and a bus service from Bangkok Central Station to Vientiane Station (Khamsavath) in Laos improves accessibility for those travelling from Thailand.
