Soaking up the sights – then the first class service.
In the centre of the modern town of Siem Reap, around 5 km south of Angkor Wat.
None of the 107 rooms skimp on space, even the standard rooms are enormous. All are blessed with muted colours, floor to ceiling windows and hi-tech gadgets such as fully loaded iPods. Unwind listening to Bach in your outdoor bathtub.
The Cambodian chef, Theam Pisith, oversees the excellent main restaurant which offers, in addition to international dishes, a fabulous seasonally-inspired Khmer menu showcasing distinctive local flavours. For those with weary feet, we suggest room service.
If you haven’t worked up an appetite absorbing the rich local culture and history, there’s a small, but perfectly formed fitness centre – but we recommend the excellent Indochine Spa, which overlooks a Khmer-inspired swimming pool and water garden, where the massages are addictive and utterly rejuvenating.
Check out the hotel’s Arts Lounge, a beautiful living space with thought provoking exhibits, dedicated to the celebration of Cambodia’s rich cultural heritage, both past and present.
