Villa Maly Mouhot’s, a bar par excellence

PRLog (Press Release) - Sep. 28, 2011 - The bar — Mouhot’s — was named for a Luang Prabang notable, the French naturalist renowned for rediscovering the temples of Angkor in the mid 19th Century and who later died near Luang Prabang.
 
Opening in mid-March, Mouhot’s broadens the appeal of the elegant boutique hotel by broadening the guest base.
 
“It used to be that only guests of the hotel absorbed the ambiance of this fine, old place,” said Shanna Bright, director of sales and marketing for the hotel. “Now it should be a destination for anyone with a yen for a bit of history, or a thirst.”
