Plumeria was a former royal residence of Princess Khampieng and Prince Khamtan, a grandson of the 19th-century King Zakarine, in the city of Luang Prabang, Laos. It was Khampieng’s mother, Princess Vanthatmaly who built the 33-room boutique property, which is anchored by the 1938-built residence. In this house, the royal couple raised their four children while Khamtan served as prefect of the provinces of Vientiane, Luang Prabang and Sainyabuli. He died in a plane crash; his wife lived in the house until her death.

In 2001, the house was converted into a hotel.
