The La Résidence d'Angkor property is assessed over a lotus-filled moat, across which the two-storey Khmer-style building with high-ceiling wooden foyer, reflects a soothing décor. Inside, the foyer's sidewalls are covered with enormous relief of figures that we later saw at Angkor Wat. In the centre is an enormous teak desk, cut out from a single giant tree. Public spaces are filled with polished teak furniture and gleaming silk and cotton décor that blends Cambodian and colonial influences.
La Résidence d'Angkor has 55 rooms and 8 suites, all tastefully furnished in local materials with lovely views onto the gardens and poolside. The main Deluxe Rooms come with a living room, a large couch for relaxing and a small terrace surrounded by tropical plants. The eight new suites, located on the first floor, are more contemporary in style, with stylish and spacious interiors with views of the swimming pool.
There is a nice restaurant with local and international specialities on offer in a beautiful setting. The hotel also boasts a boutique and a spa, and you could even have a private yoga session. For an alternative taste, Siem Reap is just 10 min walk from the hotel which has a choice of restaurants. In the surrounds is Tonle Sap, the largest freshwater lake in South East Asia with its fascinating floating villages.

Location Belmond La Résidence d'Angkor is a Khmer-style boutique hotel, ideally located in the heart of Cambodia's Siem Reap. Housed within a walled garden with shaded paths and lotus ponds, its a short 15-minutes ride from the Angkor Wat temple complex, one of South East Asia's most stunning attractions.
Getting There There are no direct flights to Cambodia from the UK, but good connections are available from major Asian destinations. You can fly with Thai Airways to Bangkok and from there fly either to Phnom Penh or Siem Reap on a one-hour flight. Belmond La Résidence d'Angkor is 20-minute drive from Siem Reap airport.
When to go Cambodia is hot all year round and the best time to visit is during the dry season from November to April. In May and June the southwestern monsoon brings rain that lasts until October but it rarely rains all day. Although, this is a low season for tourism, it has its own advantages. It is when the Angkor complex is at its most beautiful, the vegetation is lush, the moats for full of water and there are less tourists so you can explore the temples in peace.
