V Mansion Boutique Hotel and Athena Hotel in Laos upgrade to Hotelogix for centralised group operations
Singapore, 11/June/2025: Hotelogix, a globally leading cloud-based hospitality technology provider, said V Mansion Boutique Hotel and Athena Hotelin Laos have upgraded to its multi-property management system to streamline and centralise operations. In addition, Souphattra Serviced Apartment, their sister property, has also migrated to Hotelogix. The move aims to modernise group-level management, automate daily functions, and enable scalable growth through digital transformation. All three properties - V Mansion Boutique Hotel, Athena Hotel and Souphattra Serviced Apartment, are part of Souphattra Hotels & Resorts, a well-known luxury hospitality group in Laos that manages six elegant boutique properties. Known for its refined aesthetics, personalised service, and cultural charm, the brand caters to discerning leisure and business travellers seeking a premium hospitality experience in Laos. The brand has earned several accolades, including ASEAN Green Hotel Standard 2024-2026, Gold Certified for Accommodation Sustainability by Travelife and the 2022 World Luxury Hotel Award. "We chose to move away from legacy, server-based systems because it couldn't offer us the flexibility and central-level visibility we needed across properties," said Douangchanh Chanhma, Manager at Souphattra Hotel Luang Prabang. "With Hotelogix's cloud-based multi-property management system, we now have centralised control over all operations—crucial for maintaining brand standards and streamlining workflows." Additionally, Hotelogix equips the management at these three properties with anytime, anywhere access to real-time data via a Mobile Hotel PMS App, enabling faster decision-making. While its central-level reports offer insights to make informed decisions, the centralised guest history feature helps ensure consistent, personalised service across all properties. "With Hotelogix, we're not just upgrading our technology platform—we're future-proofing our operations. Centralised control, real-time insights, and smarter guest engagement will help us drive growth and scale efficiently while staying true to the top-notch service we are known for. In a fast-evolving market, adopting a modern solution like Hotelogix is key to staying competitive and agile," Douangchanh Chanhma added. "Popular and guest-centric brands like V Mansion Boutique Hotel, Athena Hotel and Souphattra Serviced Apartment adopting Hotelogix underscores our solution's usefulness for centralised operations," said Sivaprasad Gangadharan, Chief Sales Officer of Hotelogix. "We are excited to help them set new benchmarks for efficient property management and guest service in Laos' competitive hospitality landscape."
