Anantara Angkor Resort provides an ideal, luxurious and tranquil base for your next trip to Cambodia’s cultural capital, Siem Reap. This beautiful boutique all-suite resort combines traditional Khmer architecture with modern amenities giving guests an unforgettable experience. Conveniently located halfway between the town centre and the international airport and just a 15-minute drive to Angkor Wat and the Archaeological Park, all of Siem Reap’s attractions are within easy reach.
From an aerial view, the resort is designed to resemble Angkor Wat, while from ground level, it resembles a regal Khmer villa. Cambodia’s cultural influences, like carved stone pillars and wooden figures, depict Khmer history, while the central courtyard draws inspiration from ancient royal bathing pools. Contemporary touches like the Henry Moore-inspired giant sculpture of a mother and child by the resort’s main pool add to the aesthetic.
Your Anantara Angkor experience begins with an airport pick-up for a smooth transfer, followed by a soothing foot ritual on arrival. Your Experience Butler is on hand to welcome you.
All 39 suites are designed in a contemporary Cambodian style and feature fine Khmer silks, teakwood floors, and modern luxuries such as an in-suite smartphone, Nespresso machine and minibar. Each suite has the added luxury of a balcony overlooking the courtyard pool. Anantara Angkor offers the most spacious suites in Siem Reap, starting at a very comfortable 46 sqm. With exquisite attention to detail, the suites are ideal for couples, and interconnecting suites are perfect for families.
