A short drive from Angkor Archaeological Park, one of the most mesmerizing archeological sites in Southeast Asia, Anantara Angkor Resort provides a luxurious home base from which to explore the UNESCO-listed ruins, picturesque Tonle Sap Lake and charming town of Siem Reap.
Combining Khmer design elements with colonial touches, the all-suite property is surrounded by lush gardens and fringed palm trees for a back-to-nature experience. While they vary in size and design, each of the 39 suites features its own private courtyard or terrace and a dedicated butler, while some of the upper-level suites also include private plunge pools and expansive living rooms.
From start to finish, Anantara Angkor Resort elevates the experience with complimentary airport transports, a welcome foot ritual, daily fruit deliveries, complimentary mini bars and insightful local guides who are keen to show you the best the destination has to offer.
Our Inspector's Highlights
- Anantara Angkor Resort’s suites will make you feel like Khmer royalty, thanks to the lavish interior design — picture gorgeous silk textiles, rattan woodwork, rich red and gold accents, and teak floors that gleam in the sun.
- After exploring the temples all morning, there’s nothing more relaxing than an afternoon swim in the hotel’s saltwater swimming pool. As the centerpiece of the resort, the pool takes its inspiration from Srah Srang, a man-made reservoir inside Angkor Archaeological Park that was built as a bathing spot for ancient kings.
- The hotel’s Experience Butlers are dedicated to ensuring you see the best of Angkor Wat and Siem Reap. They’re brimming with ideas for private excursions, from a morning bike excursion through the temple grounds to a helicopter ride over Angkor Wat, countryside tours, cooking classes and Khmer-style massages.
- Mark a
special occasion with a private Dining by Design experience, where a personal
chef will design a menu for you to enjoy in the courtyard, on your suite’s
terrace or by the West Bay reservoir.
- Don’t miss a chance to unwind at the Anantara Spa. Inspired by Khmer architecture, the heavenly atmosphere is created with raw stone, carved wood and lotus ponds.
Things to Know
