Hip hideaway in Siem Reap |
The newly opened Heritage Suites in Siem Reap, Cambodia, is nestled
in tropical surroundings, minutes away from the peaceful Siem Reap
River and the town centre.
Guests receive a warm welcome in a beautiful colonial house where
attractive French architecture blends seamlessly with traditional
Cambodian craftsmanship. Twenty spacious suites, designed in a
contemporary minimalist style, offering the utmost privacy and
indulgent comfort, are dotted around a lush garden oasis and a
Balinese inspired salt-water swimming pool. Inside the large
open-plan suites, a design of hardwoods and Cambodian silks, with
Japanese inspired lighting, creates a restful and intimate
atmosphere. The one-bedroom bungalows have an open-plan bathing
area and bedroom, with separate living area. The king-size bed
faces a large roll-top bath, oversized shower and steam room. The
floor-to-ceiling windows open onto a private garden with open-air
shower surrounded by bamboo trees, lotus flowers and water lilies.
Following a fascinating and memorable day discovering the temples,
guests can unwind in the stunning Balinese salt-water swimming
pool, equipped with a cooling system to keep the water at the
perfect temperature. The open-air thatch-roof bar serves a variety
of cocktails and refreshments. Breakfast, traditional Khmer
cuisine, Asian dishes and Western delicacies can be enjoyed inside
the colonial house or al-fresco by the pool. A variety of
tailor-made off-the-beaten-path Heritage Adventures are available
as part of the guest experience. From a cycle ride through the
jungle to discover hidden temples, to a sunset cruise on a
traditional Khmer boat. Member of the highly regarded Relais &
Chateaux alliance, Heritage Suites is the dream child of
entrepreneur Didier Faraud, whose last project was the five star
Victoria Angkor Resort and Spa. Didier said, “With over 300
temples set amongst stunning scenery, Angkor is a place for an
adventure as much as a holiday. I want to offer guests more than
just a wonderful place to stay with a full and complete package
that can be tailored to suit individual needs, whether it be for a
the ideal romantic break or the adventure holiday of a
lifetime.”
