New & featured hotels

Harmonious blend of history and modern comfort

Sala Lodges is a hotel with an original concept located near the famous Angkor temples in Cambodia.  The eleven stilted wooden houses feature a subtle blend of traditional Khmer architecture and contemporary lines.

 

Originating from the Cambodian countryside, the houses were dismantled, transported and reassemble. As a result, each of the houses have a unique history and architecture.

 

While the exterior has been preserved exactly as it was, the interiors have been meticulously designed to meet guests’ comfort requirements. Subtly decorated with touches of local craftsmanship, each home reveals a pure, refined interior.

Tranquil oasis in the heart of the city

Located in the quiet enclave of Wat Bo near the river and a few minutes’ walk from the old colonial area. Angkor Village Hotel has 42 rooms in luxurious tropical gardens in the heart of the city.

 

A small family-owned and operated property founded on authenticity and charm, the Hotel’s unique architecture is an homage to traditional Khmer style.

 

The property has 43 rooms, a swimming pool, restaurant, theatre and wellness options were designed with respect for local culture, and nature.

Private home in Siem Reap

Maison Polanka is a collection of 3 unique and beautiful Cambodian wooden villas, offering luxury services in a spacious tropical garden setting. Intended for the discerning traveller, Maison Polanka connects guests to the essence of Cambodia through its cuisine, its true hospitality, its involvement in community projects, its art collection and knowledge of crafts.

 

The design and style of each villa is a reflection of the owners’ life, intricately linked to Asian and Cambodian crafts for the past 20 years. Their private collection of paintings and photographs from Khmer, Asian and European artists, as well as the Art Deco and 1950s furniture and objects sourced since 1992 are everywhere. 

Luxurious stay in a village

Inspired by Khmer architecture, Phum Baitang offers a luxurious stay on the edge of the Angkor Archeological Park.

 

Nestled in 20 acres of lush gardens, the property’s 45 private terrace and pool villas are styled like traditional stilted farmhouses yet outfitted with modern comforts and luxurious fittings.

 

Phum Baitang offers impeccable yet discrete service, ideal for travellers looking to indulge and relax. And the Spa Temple treatment menus embrace centuries-old local wellness practices.
