The <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Villa+Maly/local/1346"><b>Villa Maly</b></a> is due to open on October 1.<p>Since Luang Prabang is the old royal capital of Laos, then it's not so unusual to create a hotel out of the ex-residence of a local prince, which is what's happened with the Villa Maly. They've created 33 rooms spread across five buildings and it's all a mix of Laotian architecture and French and British colonial influences. Five of the rooms are deluxe and have their own balconies and views over the gardens and pool.<p>Villa Maly is modern enough, amandak 2008-09-24T11:30:17-05:00 Search HotelChatter string http://www.hotelchatter.com/search/
