Some travellers want Pub Street within reach but a silent room at the end of the evening. The answer in Siem Reap is a hotel a short ride from the old town: gardens, pools and a calm atmosphere, and then a tuk-tuk when you feel like dinner and the lights of the market streets.
The hotels below state a ride time to the old town or describe a garden setting. For each one the page names the profile it suits best, using only what the hotel and published guides say. Details can change, so confirm on the hotel's page before you book.

How the ride works at night
Hotels arrange evening rides in different ways. Jaya House River Park offers a complimentary tuk-tuk driver for trips to Pub Street and the Old Market. Lotus Blanc Resort lists tuk-tuk, SUV and luxury limousine transport. Sofitel Angkor Phokeethra Golf & Spa Resort lists a shuttle among its services, and states Pub Street is 5 minutes by car; its schedule and cost are not given. A guide notes that some resorts on the outskirts offer free shuttles to the city centre.
A good habit is to agree the return ride when you leave. Mention your plan to the hotel at booking so the team can help with the details.
This page or the walkable option?
If you plan to eat out on foot every night, the walkable luxury hotels page lists the closest options. If you want gardens, pools and a quiet return, stay on this page and pick the hotel that matches your profile.
The Pub Street profile guide helps you decide between the two, and the temple distance guide shows how each hotel connects to Angkor.
