About This Guide

Insider Tips
Book at least 2-3 months ahead for peak season stays in Siem Reap.
Consider staying slightly outside the main tourist zone for better value — many of Siem Reap's best hotels are in residential neighborhoods.
Always check the hotel's cancellation policy before booking, especially during high season.
Ask the front desk for local restaurant recommendations — hotel concierges in Siem Reap often have excellent taste.
If you're visiting for the first time, a central location is worth the premium — you'll save on transport and have more time to explore.

Charles de Gaulle
A palatial colonial-style resort inspired by the Angkor temples, Anantara Angkor combines genuine historical reverence with the brand's signature Thai-meets-Asian luxury — just 39 expansive suites surrounding a magnificent garden pool.
Charles de Gaulle
The grande dame of Indochina, open since 1932 and fully restored to its original art deco magnificence. The Grand Hotel d'Angkor is Cambodia's most storied address — a colonial masterpiece facing the Royal Gardens.
Charles de Gaulle
Bill Bensley's masterwork sits in the colonial quarter of Siem Reap — a jewel box of teak screens, silk lanterns, and hand-painted murals that doubles as a social enterprise supporting Cambodian hospitality training.
Old Market
A design-forward boutique hotel on the river near the Old Market, Jaya House earns enormous loyalty from returning guests for its beautiful pool, zero-plastic philosophy, and exceptionally personalised service.
Wat Bo
One of Southeast Asia's finest boutique hotels — five minimalist whitewashed villas around a pristine pool in the quiet Wat Bo neighbourhood, with service levels that embarrass much larger competitors.
