Location Summary
Cambodia is bordered on one side by the Gulf of Thailand, to the West. To the North is Thailand, over the Dangkrek mountains and to the Northeast is Laos. Cambodia is bordered along the entire eastern side and the South by Vietnam. Siem Reap is in the Northwest of the country, 196 miles (315 km) north of the modern capital, Phnom Penh. Belmond La Residence d'Angkor is situated on the riverside in central Siem Reap, gateway to the majestic region of the temples of Angkor. The hotel is just moments away from the bustling markets of Siem Reap and ten minutes in the other direction will take you to Angkor Wat, the most famous of Cambodia's Khmer civilisation temples.

Directions to Hotel
The hotel is a 20-minute drive from Siem Reap airport, which itself is only an hour's flight from Bangkok. For those wishing for a more leisurely but scenic arrival, a boat trip is available from the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh up the Mekong River and through the beautiful lake of Tonle Sap, arriving in Siem Reap three days later.

Pool Outdoor

The hotel's swimming pool is surrounded by lush, verdant foliage to provide a private, intimate space. Decorated in handmade mosaics in beautiful shades of green, it is styled after the nearby Baray Lakes. The lakes were built as part of an irrigation system in the 11th century and heavily decorated with central temples and immense carved statues. Thought to have been connected to the Great Lake (Tonle Sap) and providing a private waterway for royalty, it is a noteworthy achievement and worth a visit in its own right. The Residence's pool pays homage to the greatness of the original lakes by mirroring the form and dimensions. The pool is filled with salted freshwater using a unique system which removes the need for chlorination, providing the swimmer with an improved experience.

Spa Facility

Treat yourself to a relaxing or revitalising spa treatment in the comfort and privacy of your own room. The latest scientific techniques are blended with ancient wisdom to create a unique healing experience.
