Our Favourite Rooms

All follow the same contemporary blueprint, with sensual rain showers, but Room 18 takes top billing thanks to the best pool view in the pad.

Poolside

Given its celebrated status as a small, intimate hotel, the pool is suitably small and intimate. Overshadowed by deliciously verdant vegetation, it is great for a cool plunge on a hot day.

Spa

The garden-view spa specialises in chakra-aligning head and shoulder massages, body brushing and exotic body wrap treatments with avocado, mango and coconut. Boost your circulation with a natural rice scrub, stretch out tight muscles with a traditional Khmer massage and get that holiday glow with a vitamin-rich facial.

Packing Tips

Bring your glad rags, as this stylish sanctuary should put you in the mood for a night out (or two). Owners Viroth and Fabien can point you towards some happening spots.

Children

Welcome. Under-threes stay for free (if sharing a bed with parents) in the Deluxe Double or Twin Room, Deluxe Double or Twin with Pool View and Junior Suite with Pool View. For over-threes, an extra bed can be added to these rooms for $35 a night.

Food & Drink

Top Table

No one particularly stands out, but try to live life on the edge for views of the cityscape.

Dress Code

Khmer cool: linen and leather accents.

Hotel Restaurant

The restaurant's menu is traditional Khmer dishes as well as international specialties, with the emphasis on inspired presentation and delicate flavours. Try fish amoc for the essence of Cambodia in a banana leaf and save room for lemon tart or chocolate fondant.

Hotel Bar

The bar is all about stylish sofas that suck you in. Settle down with a bottle of wine and let the evening slip by like the equally cooling breeze – priceless in the hot season.

Last Orders

Breakfast is served from 6am to 10am, offering up the potential for a cheeky lie-in. Dinner runs until 10pm; the bar plies its trade till 11pm.

Room Service

Available from 7am–11pm, room service includes all the dishes on the menu during restaurant hours and selected snacks at other times.

Planes

Fly into Siem Reap Angkor International Airport (SAI), which is an hour's drive from the hotel. Transfers can be arranged on request for US$45 each way for up to three guests, and US$65 each way for up to five.

Automobiles

Forget self-drive, as it is not currently available (thank Buddha). Chartering a car with a driver from capital Phnom Penh, about five hours’ away, or the Thai border is an affordable option.

Worth Getting Out of Bed For

Go local with a wander through the pretty grounds of Wat Bo, the most important pagoda in the Siem Reap area. Some of the best Buddhist frescoes from the 19th century adorn the ceilings of this charming place and there is a small collection of Angkorian pottery, regalia and weaponry from the height of the Khmer empire. Seek out some monks to learn a bit about the Buddhist way of life, as several of the ‘DJ monks’ on Wat Bo Radio can speak English.
