Are we talking about Amantaka, here? 1.5 hectares, 20 keys? Is this one of the French-Canadian architect, Pascal Trahan's projects in Luang Prabang?

I heard that one of his newer projects was the restoration of Villa Viceroy, the former residence of Prince Phetsarath Ratanavongsa, which is currently one of the most expensive places in town, with rates up to $1000 a night. The owner of Villa Viceroy, Jean-Marc Huss, who is a Phuket-based French artist, is apparently very secretive about his plans for this property.

However, Trahan's company, Vikara Architecture, in Luang Prabang, is also occupied with other interesting projects. These include the conversion of a French prison into a hotel by the end of 2010 (shades of FS Istanbul?) and the transformation of the old hospital into an exclusive Amanresort. I guess this is Amantaka?
