Sivutha Boulevard
Siem Reap
Cambodia
Touting itself as “the most stylish of the Siem Reap hotels”, Hotel De La Paix – built around a courtyard – blends Khmer design influences with dibs of luxury and dabs of Art Deco for visitors wanting a dash of Soho with their Cambodia.
Rooms are draped in monochromatic fabrics, but not in a Tom Ford way. Instead, the décor winks at the hotel’s Cambodian location, via the tree-shaped wall mountings, hardwood floors and handmade lamps. Guest rooms also abound in little luxuries: daybeds, soaking baths, and pre-programmed iPods.
Stylish restaurant Meric, named after the Kampot pepper, offers diners seasonal Khmer cuisine and international favorites. The more casual Café de la Paix features sandwiches, salads and pastries, perfect for a breakfast or lunch on the go. The uber-cool AHA serves Cambodian fusion in a London-like setting. The hotel even includes a unique Arts Lounge, a showcase for local artists where guests can also take meals, or just take a cocktail.
Hôtel de la Paix enjoys a prime location within the centre of Siem Reap town, just footsteps from the colourful markets and vibrant night life of the bustling community – yet only seven kilometres from the famous UNESCO world heritage site of Angkor Wat.
