Angkor Village Hotel opened in 1994 and was built by a French Cambodian architect couple. The hotel says it has welcomed guests for over 30 years, and it has been a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World since the beginning of 2020. That membership is a hotel collection affiliation, and it describes the style of stay rather than a prize.
The architecture is described as Khmer wooden bungalows with lotus ponds and a temple-like design. The setting is the old French colonial quarter of Wat Bo, overlooking the Siem Reap River according to Wikipedia. This review explains who the hotel suits, what the grounds offer and how to book with confidence.
Character and setting
The hotel describes its address as the heart of downtown Siem Reap, on Street 26, Wat Bo Road. The Old Market (Phsar Chas) is a 5 minute walk away, and Pub Street, restaurants and night markets are within a 5 to 10 minute walk. For temple days, the main entrance of the Angkor Archaeological Park is about a 15 minute tuk tuk ride away.
Inside, the wooden bungalows sit among tropical gardens, with an outdoor swimming pool set among the greenery and large natural water features. Guests who like to step out into town for dinner and return to a calm, leafy compound find that rhythm easy here.
