The Shinta Mani Angkor ****

Boutique hotel located in the center of the French Quarter of Siem Reap, between the Royal Gardens and the Old Market, a 15-minute drive from Angkor Wat.

Amansara *****

Amansara, the former guesthouse of King Sihanouk, is situated on the edge of Siem Reap just 10 minutes from the entrance to the Angkor UNESCO World Heritage Site. It derives its name from the twinning of two Sanskrit words – aman (peace) and apsara (the heavenly nymphs of ancient Hindu mythology). Set in a garden compound, the  24-suite resort has the ambience of a private home and is the ideal base for travelers seeking to explore Khmer culture and the majestic ruins of
Angkor.
