Description

Amansara, the former guesthouse of King Sihanouk, set in a garden compound, is a 24-suite resort with the ambiance of a private home and is the ideal base for travelers seeking to explore Khmer culture and the majestic ruins of Angkor.

A residence for guests of the Cambodia king, Amansara is a masterpiece of 1960s New Khmer architecture – an unabashedly modern and minimalist style. Sensitively restored to retain its original single-level layout, curvilinear pool and monochrome minimalism, the resort basks in a contemplative and tranquil atmosphere that belies its setting in the heart of Siem Reap. Suites open onto private courtyards and serene ponds, embraced by gardens and shaded by a canopy of mature trees – a sedate and restorative environment to return to after back-in-time adventures in the ruins of Angkor.

24 contemporary bedrooms and living areas open onto light-filled garden courtyards via floor-to-ceiling glass doors . The courtyard suites have secluded gardens with reflecting ponds and sun loungers — though, with the Cambodian heat, it might be worth booking a pool suite to cool off as fast as possible. Inside, it’s all clean lines and elegant furniture, but not too much of either: a wide bed, free-standing bathtub, and free mini-bar go a long way.

Beneath the soaring ceiling of the circular Dining Room, Amansara celebrates the pure, fresh flavours of traditional Khmer cuisine with a daily changing menu shaped by Siem Reap’s seasonal market produce.

Notes

A main chain hotels are very high priced, but offer private and personalized service.
Please pay attention to the Tariffs, the meals are compulsory all days of the stay.
It is the only High-end 5* hotel in Siem Reap but the Amansara is not really a price value hotel.
Only if clients insist on this hotel do we sell it.
