Heritage Suites Hotel - Siem Reap

"Heritage Suites Hotel How often does a king’s car pick you up at the airport? Arrival at Heritage Suites begins with a vintage 1962 or 1968 Mercedes—one of which used to belong to the late King Norodom Sihanouk—before you're promptly whisked off to a historic cream-colored building of soaring arches, mahogany columns, and wrought-iron balconies. With just 26 rooms (most of which are suites), the boutique hideaway is often so serene as to feel more like a royal’s private compound than a hotel—if a royal’s compound had its own high-end tour agency and one of the trendiest jazz bars in town. Rooms are spacious and surprisingly modern in style—all suites have a lush private garden, and top-tier rooms also have a private hot tub—and welcome drinks and canapés help guests immediately acclimate to the villa’s languid and decadent atmosphere. The sprawling saltwater pool and its umbrella-shaded sunbeds beckon at all hours (including for romantic candlelit dining), while the intimate spa offers yet another way to unwind in between temple excursions. Best of all, the hotel gives back: It works closely with the Sala Baï Hotel and Restaurant School, training and hiring students from this school that works with underprivileged Cambodians, especially women, and offers guests opportunities to participate in activities with the school."

"Everything here is a treat. The hotel blends French colonial cool out front with contemporary design in back. In the main building, a magnificent colonial wood-and-steel construction is dominated by a brushed chrome bar and sparkling mirrors, plus there's a galleried restaurant with the sweetest staff in town. Through a long classical gallery (housing the Heritage Rooms) you reach a fabulous shaded pool, with a bar and padded loungers flanking the water. Beyond that lie the suites - and you really want to try for one of these, as they were among the best rooms we saw in town. They come complete with private walled gardens where you can shower in the shade of palm trees, and free-standing stone baths in the middle of each room. This is the perfect bolthole for couples after action and adventure paired with ultimate relaxation. The hotel has its own tour company offering tailor-made adventure trips: try quad-biking through the forest into Angkor’s secret temples, or overnighting in their jungle camp, or a private yacht cruise on Tonle Sap, Asia’s largest freshwater lake. Highs The suites are seriously spoiling and romantic: fabulous beds, steam rooms and power showers, private gardens and massive terrazzo tubsThe pool terrace, with its smart loungers, lush gardens and staff on hand to fix you a drinkThis is a very private place: if you’re looking to be left in peace, you will beSet in a pleasant and peaceful area, and just a 10-minute drive or 30-minute cycle ride from Angkor WatThe loveliest staff in the world Lows You’re not that far from the centre of town, but you’re not really close enough to walk and the immediate residential area is somewhat ordinaryOn the temple side the chanting starts before dawn, goes on for a long time, and the abbot has a very peculiar voiceThe redecoration of the rooms - all made by local craftsmen - is easy on the eye but a bit blandDespite all the luxury the towels are curiously mean in conceptionIt’s keenly priced" - Tom Bell

"Being the closest city to Angkor Wat, the world’s largest religious monument, has turned the Cambodian provincial capital of Siem Reap into a boomtown of sorts. These days, the city is bursting at the seams with accommodations that range from backpacker hostels to magnificent five-star resorts. Somewhere in the middle (though a bit closer to the latter) there’s also the Heritage Suites, which abstains from the kind of over-the-top opulence that defines many of its neighbors in favor of a quiet, secluded take on Indochine luxury." - Tablet Hotels
