Anantara Angkor Resort

A 39-suite resort a few miles from Angkor Wat, built inward like a compound rather than outward like a monument, which feels about right given the competition. Contemporary Khmer architecture frames private courtyards and terraces; butler service comes standard, and the upper suites add plunge pools for when you've had enough of the eighth wonder of the world. A Forbes Four Star property, and the spa and Khmer-French restaurant make it easy to stay put entirely.
