Plumeria (; common name plumeria) is a genus of flowering plants in the dogbane family, Apocynaceae. It contains primarily deciduous shrubs and small trees. The flowers are native to Central America, Mexico, the Caribbean, and South America as far south as Brazil but can be grown in tropical and sub-tropical regions.
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.
