Amansara Siem Reap
PRICE: Worth maxing out for
Amansara, tucked into a quiet corner of Siem Reap and only ten minutes away from Angkor Wat, is a retreat that marries historical significance with sleek, modern design.
Originally the royal guesthouse of King Norodom Sihanouk, the property combines mid-century modernist architecture with subtle Khmer influences, creating a serene and intimate atmosphere.
Low-rise buildings finished in neutral tones and natural materials are arranged around a series of manicured courtyards and reflecting pools that create an ever-shifting play of shadows. Inside, the suites continue the theme of minimal and spacious athletics—think wide, open spaces that flow effortlessly between indoors and out. Private courtyards and plunge pools give each suite a secluded, personal feel, while floor-to-ceiling glass ensures you’re never fully removed from the lush greenery outside.
What truly elevates Amansara is its location. Situated only ten minutes from the gates of Angkor Wat, the Amansara offers curated experiences for exploring Angkor’s temples, including private guided tours, sunrise visits, and tuk-tuk excursions. The hotel’s expert guides ensure that guests can receive a detailed and personalized tour of the world’s largest religious monument.
