The Top 18 Hotels Near 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.
-
Thatched wooden villas rise on stilts above paddy fields and manicured gardens at this 45-villa resort outside Siem Reap, a short drive from Angkor Wat. The name means "green village," and the Parisian design firm AW2 committed to the concept with wooden walkways, a mirror-calm pool, and a restored farmhouse turned atmospheric lounge. It holds a Forbes Four Star and two Michelin Keys. Pool Villas add private plunge pools; every category includes an oversized bathtub and the full five-star reassurance.
-
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.
-
The unmarked black gate is a deliberate tease: no sign, no fanfare, just a turn off the street and suddenly you're inside a 1960s New Khmer villa that once hosted visiting heads of state as King Sihanouk's personal guest house. Aman restored it from a shell using old photographs, and the K-shaped pool and circular domed restaurant survive intact. The two dozen suites come with private courtyards and deep soaking tubs. Temple tours and remork rides are folded into the rate. Forbes Five Star and Michelin 2 Keys.
-
The antique cage elevator still runs, which tells you something about what Raffles Grand Hotel d'Angkor is going for. This colonial-era luxury hotel in Siem Reap sits eight kilometers from Angkor Wat, and the Art Deco bones, claw-footed tubs, and 35-meter pool in the inner gardens give you genuine reasons to stay on the grounds. A Forbes Four Star and a Michelin Key reward the careful restoration that quietly removed the building's less inspired updates.
-
The courtyard pool and water garden sit at the heart of this luxury hotel, a serene Art Deco composition that somehow stays quiet while Pub Street does its thing just a few minutes' walk away. Designer Bill Bensley brought the 1930s explorer's-club aesthetic, then came back to layer on more, including elephant tusk bar tables. The Pool Suites offer private plunge pools for anyone not quite done escaping. It holds a Michelin Key.
-
A long lotus-flanked corridor echoes the hallways of Angkor Wat before you've even checked in, which sets the tone for this luxury resort designed by Bangkok-based architect Bill Bensley. His signature black-and-white palette runs from the bedspreads to the ceilings, where photographs of Angkorian temples hang above you as you sleep. Lush gardens, a spa, and Kroya restaurant round out a place that somehow feels both ancient and completely itself.
-
Colonial-style buildings fan out around a lagoon pool and lily-pad ponds on the quiet northern edge of Siem Reap, about ten minutes from Angkor Wat. This full-scale resort has 238 rooms, an 18-hole golf course nearby, a spa, and a candlelit French restaurant called Mouhot's Dream that nods to the explorer who put the ruins on the map. The crowd tends to arrive with a temple itinerary in hand and leave wondering why they didn't stay longer.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Eight tented villas draped in organic sailcloth sit by the river just north of Angkor Thom, which sounds like glamping until you notice the air conditioning, the private terraces, and the staff member whose job is literally to draw your bath. The Beige is a luxury tented resort, and the Michelin Guide has selected it, with farm-grown Khmer cooking and an infinity pool to round out the case for staying very, very put.
