A Masterpiece of Art-Deco Design

Belmond La Residence d’Angkor was designed to evoke the romance of 1930s Indochina. The hotel’s architecture features clean lines, curved balconies, and a palette of cream, black, and gold. The interiors are a celebration of Cambodian craftsmanship – silk panels, hand-carved wood, and antique Khmer artifacts. The centerpiece of the hotel is the stunning saltwater pool, surrounded by frangipani trees and tropical foliage.

The hotel’s 59 rooms and suites are spacious and serene, with high ceilings, private balconies, and open-air bathrooms. The “Residence Suite” is the most luxurious, featuring a separate living area, a private garden, and a jacuzzi. Every room includes a dedicated butler service, ensuring a seamless stay.

Culinary Excellence – From Ember to The Dining Room

The hotel’s signature restaurant, “Ember,” serves contemporary Khmer cuisine with a focus on open-fire cooking. Signature dishes include “Angkor beef skewers,” “Mekong river lobster,” and “green mango salad with prawns.” The restaurant’s terrace overlooks the river, and the open kitchen adds a theatrical element.

“The Dining Room” offers a more formal setting, with a menu of French-inspired dishes. “The Martini Bar” is a stylish spot for pre-dinner cocktails, with live jazz on weekends. The hotel also offers private dining experiences – in the wine cellar, on the riverbank, or in a traditional Khmer sala.

Kong Kea Spa – A Sanctuary of Wellness

The Kong Kea Spa is a serene retreat set in a traditional wooden house. Treatments draw on ancient Khmer healing traditions, using local ingredients such as lemongrass, turmeric, and coconut. The signature treatment, “Angkor Awakening,” is a 2.5-hour journey that includes a body scrub, a massage with warm herbal compresses, and a facial. The spa also features a steam room, sauna, and relaxation area overlooking the gardens.

Exploring Angkor – A World Heritage Wonder

The hotel is ideally located for exploring the temples of Angkor, just 10 minutes from the main entrance. The hotel’s concierge can arrange private guided tours of Angkor Wat, Bayon, Ta Prohm, and the remote temples of Banteay Srei and Beng Mealea. Guests can also take a sunrise hot air balloon ride over the temples, a boat trip on Tonlé Sap lake, or a visit to the floating villages.
