Set in a lush garden enclosure, Amansara glows with the nuances of its sixties conception; commissioned by Norodum Sihanouk in 1962, it is, today, a peaceful contemporary and warm sanctuary just minutes to Angkor Wat Complex.
A former guesthouse of King Sihanouk designed by French architect Laurent Mondet, this classic sixties structure has been converted into a calm oasis on the outskirts of bustling Siem Reap.
The tranquil property offers a multitude of relaxing opportunities within its private garden enclave including a sultry curved slate swimming pool and fine cuisine is available in a dramatic setting at The Dining Room, previously the screening room of King Sihanouk.
The 24 suites are decorated in a classic Indochinese palette of cool grey, pristine white, dark timber and ivory with private courtyards and soothing water features, and 12 feature private swimming pools.
The Roof Garden offers pre-dinner drinks in the evening and invigorating yoga sessions at dawn, and the hotel's spa features traditional Cambodian treatments and a range of soothing organic products.
Location
Amansara is situated in Siem Reap just 20 minutes away from Angkor Wat.
Room Type: When you stay at Amansara, you will be staying at a gorgeous suite. In each, there is an incredible sound system and wireless Internet access, but no television. They are all immaculately decorated. Of course, the pool suites are for those of us who really treasure our privacy, and do not want to share the two "public" pools with others.
