There’s a huge buffet of hotels to choose from in Siem Reap, from backpacker B&B’s at just US$5 a night to five-star hotels with all the luxurious trappings.
One of the best hotels is the Angkor Palace Resort & Spa (http://www.angkorpalaceresort.com/), the first Cambodian-owned five-star resort hotel in Siem Reap. The spacious hotel sprawls over 11 hectares of landscaped grounds and is a wonderful enclave to escape to after a day-long temple trek or a night tour on Pub Street.
Located just 10 minutes from Siem Reap town and 20 minutes from the Angkor Archaeological Park, the resort offers 259 luxuriously-appointed rooms with traditional Khmer fittings, private balconies and modern amenities. There are also eight villas those willing to spurge on a more private retreat.
The hotel prides itself on its F&B outlets and for good reason. The Sunset Café is a great place for a fine-dining experience, while the Soriya Restaurant serves up some tasty Khmer dishes. Come sundown, the Lobby Lounge offers a relaxing environment to unwind with a beer or cocktail, while enjoying the in-house band.
If you need more proactive rejuvenation, spend a few hours at the Kainnora Spa which has a wide range of treatments including the must-try Khmer massage. For golfers, a full-fledged driving range complete with a proshop and shaded bays awaits.
