River Road
Siem Reap
Cambodia
Travellers destined to explore the man-made wonder that is Angkor Wat used to face a limited selection of accommodation choices, ranging from dingy backpackers’ hostels to … dank backpackers’ hostels. La Residence D’Angkor, set inside a lush garden, offers a step above the usual options, providing a splash of luxury amid all the history.
The simply decorated rooms feature local materials such as bamboo and silk, and all rooms overlook the river, garden or pool, courtesy of relaxation-inducing private terraces. Amply-named rooms like the “Royal Deluxe Riverside” room include marble bathrooms and terrazzo baths – a real step above the water jug and bowl at many other Siem Reap properties.
Dining outlets are beautifully decorated and reek of French colonial style, with plenty of wood, glass and light. The Dining Room features international and Khmer fare, with the addition of traditional dance performances some nights of the week. The late-afternoon BBQ Restaurant, meanwhile, is poolside and even includes teppanyaki.
Cambodia is bordered on one side by the Gulf of Thailand, to the West. To the North is Thailand, over the Dangkrek mountains and to the Northeast is Laos. Cambodia is bordered along the entire eastern side and the South by Vietnam. Siem Reap is in the Northwest of the country, 196 miles (315 km) north of the modern capital, Phnom Penh.
La Résidence d'Angkor is situated on the riverside in central Siem Reap, gateway to the majestic region of the temples of Angkor. The hotel is just moments away from the bustling markets of Siem Reap and ten minutes in the other direction will take you to Angkor Wat, the most famous of Cambodia's Khmer civilisation temples.
