Hôtel de la Paix is the former name of Park Hyatt Siem Reap, and its restaurants, spa and pools are part of why travellers pick it. Art Deco design continues from the lobby into the venues, so a meal or a treatment feels like part of the stay.
This page covers the restaurant and bars, the spa and the pools, and ends with a simple rule for planning your days around them. For the overall verdict, see the Hôtel de la Paix Art Deco review, and for location and prices go to location and prices.
The case for using the venues on site
The hotel concentrates its best features in one place. The MICHELIN Guide page describes the hotel restaurant as an excellent Khmer restaurant, Google Maps summarises a chic Cambodian restaurant, and Forbes mentions a French-style deli. Add a spa and a courtyard pool and you can fill an easy afternoon without leaving the hotel.
After a morning at the temples, that matters. Angkor Temples Park entry opens from 5:00 AM and closes at 6:30 PM according to the official ticket page, as listed in October 2026, so many visitors start early and return hungry and warm. A restaurant, a patisserie and a pool a few steps from the room make the return a pleasure.
Restaurants and bars
The Dining Room
Forbes describes the all-day Dining Room as a mix of international and Khmer cuisine. Move to Cambodia reports a French and Khmer menu, and Tripadvisor describes French and authentic Cambodian food, so guides agree on the Khmer side and describe the rest slightly differently. Breakfast is listed from 6AM to 11AM as listed in October 2026, so confirm before you travel.
The Glasshouse deli and patisserie
Forbes mentions the Glasshouse Deli serving French-style fare. Tripadvisor describes the Deli-Patisserie as offering desserts and light fare, and one review calls the breakfast baked goods particularly excellent. It suits a coffee, a pastry or a light lunch between sights.
The Living Room bar
Guides describe venues that include The Living Room bar, The Dining Room and The Glasshouse. Opening hours and cocktail menus are to be confirmed on the hotel's page.
Apsara dinner and temple dinner
According to a review, an Apsara Cultural Dinner and Show runs on the courtyard terraces on some nights, so check the schedule for your dates. The same review notes that the concierge can arrange a Temple Dinner or a hot air balloon flight over Angkor Wat.
The spa and the pools
The MICHELIN Guide page names the spa as Spa Indochine and describes a three story building, and the 2005 trade newswire uses the same name. Tripadvisor says The Spa offers massages and treatments. Travel Plus Style says treatments draw on local remedies and traditions, including the Apsara Scrub, and another source lists pressure point stimulation.
The pools add to the day. There is a lap pool on the lobby level and a larger pool on the second floor next to the spa, which makes a spa session and a swim easy to combine. Move to Cambodia also lists a 24 hour fitness center, a private garden and the spa.

- Pool use for children: Google Places flags the hotel as good for children, so ask about family timings
A rule for planning around them
Use a simple three part rule. Dine in at least once, ideally on a night when the Apsara dinner is running. Place the spa after your most active temple day, since the pool and treatments sit side by side. Keep breakfast flexible: the Dining Room opens early, which fits a pre-dawn start for sunrise at the temples.
A sample rhythm
- 1Day 1: arrive, swim, and dine in the Dining Room
- 2Day 2: early temple morning, pastry and coffee at the Glasshouse on return, spa in the afternoon
- 3Day 3: slower morning in the courtyard, then Pub Street on foot in the evening
Tripadvisor states Pub Street is a short walk from the hotel, so evenings out stay easy to add.
Next step: booking
When the plan suits you, go to the Park Hyatt Siem Reap review or the Hôtel de la Paix overview to compare prices on Agoda and Booking.com. Use the same dates on both and read the cancellation terms.
