Belmond La Résidence d’Angkor is an authentic and luxurious base from which to explore the breathtaking complex of temples at Angkor Wat

Home to jungle-clad temples and tropical white sandy beaches, Cambodia is sure to captivate you. Its busy capital, Phnom Penh, is home to the art deco Central Market, the glittering Royal Palace and the National Museum’s historical and archaeological exhibits. Siem Reap is located in the north west of the country, 196 miles from Phnom Penh.

The hotel boasts an enviable riverside setting that is just moments away from the town’s bustling markets and colourful nightlife. It is perfectly positioned to explore the unique life on Tonlé Sap Lake and the world-renowned chefs employed by the hotel have created a wide range of international dishes and Khmer cuisine with a contemporary twist, whilst the Kong Kea Spa embraces ancient Cambodian healing arts to provide a unique sensory experience.

Résidence Suite

The 1,000sqft Résidence Suite is the perfect place to relax at the end of a thrilling day in Angkor. Located in the quietest area of the hotel, the suite ensures maximum relaxation with a large bedroom and adjacent lounge. Sliding glass doors lead into a spacious bathroom with an oversized freestanding bathtub, a separate walk-in rain shower, double vanity unit, as well as dressing and storage areas. A private external terrace provides a natural setting for al fresco dining.

Exploring

The UNESCO temples of Angkor are clearly the main draw here; the complex is located 5km outside of Siem Reap.  Private excursions to watch the sunrise over the ancient ruins of Ta Prohm or the famous towers of Angkor Wat can easily be arranged. Further afield the outer complex temples such at Beng Melea or Koh Ker can easily be reached as well as the mighty Tonle Sap lake home to intriguing floating villages.
