Siem Reap Hotels
in
Cambodia
You've trusted your eyes your whole life, but visit Cambodia and you just may start doubting them. How else to explain the unthinkable splendour of the 9th- to 13th-century Khmer temples, the tropical islands with barely a beach hut in sight and the untold adventures lurking in northern forests?
Cambodia promises a rollercoaster of emotions and experiences to the intrepid traveller. Your heart will race at Angkor Wat, one of the world's greatest achievements. The most puzzling thing about the ruins of Angkor Wat is how little survives of the day-to-day existence of the people of the Khmer Empire, which flourished for over five hundred years and at its height covered the whole of present-day Cambodia and most of Thailand.

La Résidence d’Angkor, in the heart of the small but pretty tree-lined town of Siem Reap, is an exotic, dark-wooden-panelled escape. The guest rooms have the luxury of space, with bathrooms the size of an average Paris hotel room. The décor combines earthy Asian signatures with a contemporary flourish. Then there’s the pool: a sumptuous 130-foot-long stretch of emerald green tiles with two Hindu-inspired fountains.
The most puzzling thing about the ruins of Angkor is how little survives of the day-to-day existence of the people of the Khmer Empire.
You go there to marvel at the engineering feats and the sheer number of magnificent temples they constructed.
In the heart of Siem Reap, it’s an exotic escape from the heat and bustle of the outdoors.
