Designed by celebrated Bill Bensley, Shinta Mani Angkor stands out of the crowd with its distinctive design. It’s also in an enviable location within Siem Reap.
Close to Angkor, but also within walking distance of the town’s restaurants and night markets.
This is a deliberately bold hotel: clean-lined, design-led, and filled with modern Asian artwork. Best for travellers who want a strong sense of place without sacrificing style.
This beautiful boutique hotel suits couples, solo travellers and families with teenagers.
From the sensational striped pool, the soothing spa with herbal healing treatments, and landscaped grounds, it’s a great retreat for some proper R&R between Angkor explorations.
The food and drink here is also impressive: drawing on Cambodian flavours with a contemporary edge. At their most refined restaurant, Kroya, Chef Chanrith revisits the recipes of his youth, while Baitong takes a broader approach, mixing Khmer street food with international dishes and a more indulgent brunch.
Two pool bars serve cocktails and lighter refreshments throughout the day, too.
The Rooms
All rooms have Bill Bensley’s stamp on them: chic monochrome with flashes of colour and eclectic antiques.
They all have plush beds, hand-crafted lamps, and rain showers, and overlook either the pools or tropical greenery.
For more space, the suites are worth the upgrade. But the real upgrade is the Bensley Pool Villas, which come with private pools, rooftop sky lounges, and dedicated Bensley Butlers.
