The Top 10 Hotels Near Amansara
-
A black-bottomed saltwater pool sits at the heart of this boutique hotel housed in the old French Governor's residence, and it sets the tone: colonial bones, contemporary everything else. Rooms go dark and minimal, hardwoods and Cambodian silks, stone tubs big enough to get lost in. A Michelin Key hotel, close enough to Angkor Wat that you can feel virtuous about the day trip without actually rushing.
-
Vintage automobiles parked outside a French Colonial facade set the tone at this 26-room boutique hotel in Siem Reap, a short ride from Angkor Wat. Inside, the expected dark floorboards give way to a quieter mix of Khmer and Chinese decor, with open floor plans and private gardens around palm-shaded Jacuzzis. A saltwater pool, thatched bar, and Cambodian restaurant round things out for guests who'd rather not be dazzled quite so loudly.
-
Lush plantings and locally quarried stone set the tone at this contemporary Cambodian resort, where the minimalist aesthetic is softened by handmade furniture, living plants in every room, and walls hung with local art. A rooftop infinity pool and a spa keep things unhurried, and three on-site restaurants cover everything from morning coffee to street-inspired Khmer dinners. The Siem Reap River outside is as far from Fifth Avenue as you can get.
-
The architecture stops you first: not another colonial mansion but a crisp example of New Khmer mid-century modernism, all clean lines softened by vertical gardens and leafy trees. This boutique hotel sits in Wat Bo village, steps from the Night Market and a short ride from Angkor Wat. Terraces, a spa, a lovely pool, and a poolside cocktail lounge round things out, with the on-site restaurant leaning into contemporary Khmer cuisine.
-
Traditional Khmer-style rooms tucked into tropical gardens, with a waterside restaurant at the center of it all. This family-run hotel has been part of Siem Reap long enough to feel like it belongs to the city rather than catering to it. Evenings drift from the al fresco terrace to the Kenary Lounge Bar, where cocktails compete with the ambient noise of the garden, and the garden usually wins.
-
Two wings share one property on a quiet lane in old Siem Reap, a short walk from the Old Market, and the distinction between "hotel" and "resort" is mostly a conversation starter. The 26 rooms split between Balcony Villas and Deluxe Terrace rooms with optional rooftop space, and the salt-water pools, small spa, and restaurant sit between them. Small enough that it never feels crowded, which after a day of Angkor temple traffic feels like its own amenity.
-
Actual Cambodian village houses, some fifty years old, dismantled from across the countryside and rebuilt here in Siem Reap's gardens: that's what Sala Lodges is selling, and the pitch holds up. The structures are genuine Khmer vernacular, raised on stilts in the traditional way, though the insides have been quietly upgraded to rain showers and air conditioning. A Michelin Key property, it sits a short drive from Angkor, with an infinity pool, a Khmer restaurant, and lush grounds doing the rest.
-
A 29-room boutique eco-resort where the architecture folds around a pool courtyard dense enough with greenery that you half-forget Angkor Wat is minutes away in one direction and the airport in the other. Rooms start generous and get more so as you go up, with the top suites claiming peaked roofs and freestanding soaking tubs. The spa and an in-house Khmer kitchen handle the rest, and a free tuk-tuk breaks the spell when you're ready.
-
A freestanding egg-shaped tub at the foot of the bed, facing a window that looks out over the pool and gardens, tells you this boutique hotel outside Siem Reap takes the recharge seriously. The free-form pool is flanked by banana and palm trees, with one bar poolside and another on the roof, so post-temple cocktails require almost no decision-making. Rooms run gray, white, and dark wood, with Cambodian artwork throughout. Staff meet returning guests with chilled towels every time.
-
A 55-room boutique hotel sitting right on the river in Siem Reap, minutes from both the city market and Angkor Wat. The Belmond La Résidence d'Angkor is built in classic Khmer style but keeps the interiors clean and contemporary, with hardwood floors, traditional wooden furnishings, and private balconies overlooking a lush central pool courtyard. Spa treatments come to your room rather than a dedicated spa complex, which somehow feels more civilized.
