Angkor hotel targets high-end Chinese market

THE ANGKOR Palace Resort and Spa will be rebranded from today as the Grand Soluxe Angkor Palace Resort and Spa to attract more high-end Chinese visitors.

The property’s chairman and owner, Ly Hong, said: “We have noticed that the hotels in Cambodia have not been able to attract many of the high-yielding Chinese tourists to visit Angkor temple complex.”

“We hope that through our partnership with the Soluxe Hospitality Group, (we) can help (our) country attract more of these tourists to visit our magnificent Angkor temples.”

Grand Soluxe Angkor Palace Resort and Spa, spanning an 11-hectare area in Siem Reap, offers 259 keys, a golf driving range, a swimming pool, a gym, tennis courts, a spa, two F&B outlets and function space for up to 120 on banquet.

China is the third largest source of visitors to Cambodia. Last year, the country attracted 177,636 Chinese arrivals, up from 128,201 in 2009. Of last year’s tally, some 138,012 people visited for leisure and 37,783 for business.

Cambodia Kingdom of Wonder Song


Open your eyes on for a dream
Witness the joy of magical scenes
It's a new place, a kingdom of wonder
A temple of smile, and the fustiness
It's a new place, a rising sun
A kingdom of wonder, Cambodia...

And to our learn, discover the light
of blessing of gold and enchanting its night
It's in its center of kingdom of wonder on magical spell
You'll fall in Na Na...
