Condé Nast Traveler today announced the results of its annual Readers' Choice Awards with Avani+ Luang Prabang Hotel recognised for the second time as one of the best hotels in Asia. Following its impressive debut in last year's ranking, in 2021, the boutique sanctuary in the ancient capital of Laos was voted #17 in the Top 30 Hotels in Asia category.

More than 800,000 Condé Nast Traveler US and Condé Nast Traveller UK readers participated in an online survey rating their travel experiences across the globe to provide a roundup of destinations, hotels and resorts they can't wait to return to once international borders start to reopen. Published by Condé Nast, a global media, the annual Readers' Choice Awards is the longest-running and most prestigious recognition of excellence in the travel industry.

"We're proud that Avani+ Luang Prabang Hotel has been recognised for the second time as one of the best hotels in Asia," said Dillip Rajakarier, CEO of Minor Hotels, the parent company of Avani Hotels & Resorts. "Since we launched our first brand extension four years ago, Avani+ Luang Prabang Hotel has served as the perfect example of our fresh approach to hospitality in the upper-tier hotel segment. New development partners and such projects as the upcoming Avani+ in Koh Lanta, Khao Lak, Ho Tram and the Maldives are a reflection of the brand's potential."

The 2021 Readers' Choice Awards are published on Condé Nast Traveler's website at cntraveler.com/rca and celebrated in November.
