The luxurious Anantara Angkor Resort has reopened in Siem Reap, offering an all-suite boutique experience close to the wonders of the ancient Khmer Empire.

Just a short drive from the city center, the 5-star resort provides easy access to vibrant markets, riverside attractions, and the charming French colonial quarter. The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Angkor Archaeological Park is also conveniently located a mere 10 minutes away.

Each of the 39 suites has been completely renovated, featuring elegant teak wood accents and traditional Cambodian sandstone sculptures. Guests can unwind in spacious comfort, experiencing a taste of authentic Khmer living. Premier Suites boast luxurious bathtubs, while Terrace and Premier Terrace Suites offer private plunge pools.

For the ultimate indulgence, the Anantara and Sothea Suites offer private gardens, with second-level suites featuring expansive balconies. These top-tier suites boast separate living areas and lavish bathrooms complete with twin vanities, a rain shower, and a private spa room offering daily massages. The Sothea Suite elevates luxury further with the addition of a whirlpool jacuzzi bath.

The Jim Thompson Explorer Suites provide a unique experience. These expansive suites, available in one- and two-bedroom configurations, are adorned with imported Thai silk, adding a splash of vibrant color and luxurious texture.

Every guest enjoys a range of complimentary amenities, including chauffeured airport transfers, personalized service from an Experience Butler, unlimited private tuk-tuk rides to and from the city center, a fully stocked in-room minibar, and exclusive in-suite spa treatments for guests staying in the Anantara and Sothea suites. For those seeking wellness and exploration, two comprehensive all-inclusive packages are also available.

Experience Butlers act as personal guides, sharing their extensive local knowledge. Upon arrival, guests are greeted with a white lotus, a symbol deeply rooted in Khmer culture representing purity and enlightenment. They are then escorted to the Anantara Spa for a welcoming foot ritual. Throughout their stay, guests benefit from the personalized attention of their butler, who can arrange over 100 unique activities detailed in the resort’s Discovery Guidebook.

Dining at Anantara Angkor reaches new heights with the innovative Chi Restaurant and Bar. Chi, meaning “herb” in Khmer, celebrates the richness of local flavors. The restaurant sources fresh, indigenous herbs and spices daily from its own garden, creating a menu that seamlessly blends traditional Cambodian cuisine with a modern culinary approach.

For a truly immersive dining experience, guests can embark on Dining by Design journeys. These customized culinary adventures include a private chef and butler, a selection of gourmet menus, and unique settings such as picturesque rice paddies. The Spice Spoons cooking class, an Anantara signature experience, invites guests to join the chef on a morning market excursion to select the freshest ingredients, including Cambodian herbs like the nutrient-rich moringa. Back at the resort, guests delve into the art of Cambodian cooking in a private, open-air kitchen overlooking the serene central courtyard.

The Anantara Angkor’s design evokes the grandeur of a traditional Khmer villa, centered around an inviting courtyard pool inspired by ancient royal bathing pools. This naturally-salted pool provides a chemical-free and refreshing respite from the tropical climate, while attentive poolside service caters to every need.
