Anantara Angkor Resort & Spa
Siem Reap, Cambodia
Location
Siem Reap
The resort sits on National Road No. 6 in Siem Reap, between the town centre and the airport, about fifteen minutes from Angkor Wat — the closest luxury hotel to the temples — and around ten minutes from the centre. There is no beach — this is the intimate temple-touring base, a little outside the centre.
Transfer
A Siem Reap transfer
Fly into the new Siem Reap–Angkor (SAI) airport, about 45 minutes by road. Angkor is around fifteen minutes away and the town centre about ten.

About the Resort
An intimate Angkor base
Anantara Angkor is the intimate all-suite base for the temples — just 39 suites, the most spacious in Siem Reap, clustered around a saltwater courtyard pool with a Henry Moore-inspired sculpture at its heart. It is the closest luxury hotel to Angkor Wat, about fifteen minutes away, and from above the building itself echoes the temple's silhouette, the courtyard drawn from royal bathing pools. The suites start at 46 square metres, in Khmer design of teak floors, silks and bas-relief carvings, each with a balcony over the pool and the largest rising to private plunge pools and in-suite spa rooms with a jacuzzi; many interconnect for families. Chi Restaurant serves progressive Khmer cooking with Western touches, Apsara dancers perform in the courtyard, and an Experience Butler — a 'Temple Guru' — arranges Angkor by tuk-tuk, Vespa, jeep or helicopter. It sits on the outskirts between town and the temples, not on Pub Street, but for space, calm and closeness to Angkor it is the intimate Siem Reap choice.
