Hôtel de la Paix is the former name of Park Hyatt Siem Reap, and its position is a large part of the appeal. You can step out for dinner on foot, then ride to the temples in the morning.
This page lays out the area, the distances to Angkor and the airport, the transfer options listed in our sources, and the price picture. For the full verdict, see the Hôtel de la Paix Art Deco review, and for food and spa go to dining and spa.
The area and what is around it
Rusty Compass places the hotel right downtown on Sivutha Boulevard, and the address is Sivutha Blvd, Krong Siem Reap. A travel trade planner calls it the most centrally located luxury hotel in Siem Reap. Forbes states the hotel is a few hundred feet from the Old Market, Pub Street and Kandal Village, and Bamboo Travel says Pub Street is a short stroll away.
For the traveller, this means evening plans are easy. Cafes, markets and restaurants sit within walking range, and a tuk-tuk is handy for longer trips. The hotel phone number is +855 63 211 234 if you want to ask about arrival or transfers.
Distances and rides to Angkor
Rusty Compass states the temples are 7 km away, and a 2005 hotel trade newswire says seven kilometres from the Angkor Temple Complex. Travel Plus Style describes Angkor Wat as a short tuk-tuk ride away. A reviewer on Tripadvisor puts the drive at around 20 minutes, a soft estimate that depends on traffic.

From the airport to the hotel
The new airport opened on 16 October 2023 in Soutr Nikom District, and the old airport closed on 15 October 2023. Sources differ on the distance from the city: Wikipedia puts it 50 km east of Siem Reap, Gecko Routes says roughly 45 km, and IPS Cambodia says about 40 km. Drive times differ too, with figures from 55 minutes to 1 h 30 across sources, so build in a comfortable margin.

The price band and when to book
Travel Plus Style quotes rates from $285 USD as an approximate figure, not guaranteed. A 2013 Move to Cambodia review quoted rooms at 275 to 500 USD, shown for history only. Tripadvisor showed partner rates for a standard room on a late October stay, with mandatory fees included and taxes not included. Treat these as signposts and confirm before you travel.
Season shapes demand more than the calendar suggests. Siem Reap has a tropical wet and dry climate, and Intrepid notes that December to March is a popular period when Angkor is super busy. Sources differ on exact season boundaries: Wikipedia states the wet season runs May to October, while Intrepid says conditions are wettest from June to October. Public holidays also lift demand: the Water Festival holiday is 23, 24 and 25 November 2026, and Hello Angkor advises booking early for Khmer New Year, as listed in October 2026.
