Road to Angkor
Siem Reap
Cambodia
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, a mere remork and driver ride from an ancient civilisation gripped in the roots of the jungle and in the minds of those it touches, Angkor.
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 with 12 offering private swimming pools. The Roof Garden, surrounded and shaded by trees, with mushroom hued cushions on low seating, is the ideal venue for relaxing by candlelight with pre-prandial drinks or, invigorating yoga sessions with the rising sun. The Spa, which has four immaculate treatment rooms in dark wood and fresh white, focuses strongly on therapeutic Cambodian techniques using organic products and faces an exceptional Angkor-inspired 43m sandstone bas-relief set above a green hand tiled reflective pond.
Every suite has access to its own custom fitted remork and driver, for personal expeditions into this rich and glorious land.
The hotel is a 20-minute drive from Siem Reap airport, which itself is only an hour's flight from Bangkok. Please contact us to arrange transfers.
For those wishing for a more leisurely but scenic arrival, a boat trip is available from the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh up the Mekong River and through the beautiful lake of Tonle Sap, arriving in Siem Reap three days later.Amansara is a 15 minute drive from Siem Reap airport and complimentary transfers are offered to guests on arrival and departure.
