Siem Reap Luxury Hotel Prices by Tier

This guide plans around four nightly bands: under $150, $150 to $300, $300 to $600, and above $600. The symbols in the directory show where each hotel sits relative to the others, so they work as a shortlist tool. They are not a quote. The rate that matters is the one shown for your dates, and it can differ between the hotel's page, Agoda and Booking.com.

Amansara, an Aman resort with 24 suites, sits outside this ladder because the directory shows no price level for it. Michelin's listing gives it two MICHELIN Keys, though one Cambodian press article lists three, so sources differ and the Michelin page is the one to confirm. Treat it as a separate, special-occasion option and ask for its rate directly.

The most visible change is the room itself. At the lower levels, standard rooms are generous: Borei Angkor lists a Deluxe Room of 40 sqm, and Lotus Blanc lists a Landmark Room of 40 sqm. At the middle level, Jaya House lists Deluxe King rooms of 38 sqm that open onto the pool or the tropical hanging gardens, and its Junior Pool Suite reaches 90 sqm with a private plunge pool, a complimentary minibar and an espresso coffee machine.

Private pools and villas

Private water arrives as you climb. Shinta Mani Angkor has ten Bensley Pool Villas, which are duplexes with a private nine-meter pool, a rooftop sky lounge and a dedicated butler. Zannier Phum Baitang offers 45 stilted villas modelled on a traditional Khmer village, and its Pool Villas each have a 20 sqm plunge pool. Amansara lists 13 suites with a private plunge pool.

Service and heritage

At the top, service and story take the lead. Raffles Grand Hotel d'Angkor opened in 1932, describes its style as 1930s French Art Deco, and states that every stay includes a personal butler. Park Hyatt Siem Reap has 104 suites and rooms and a saltwater pool with white angular arches and green tiles, according to Forbes Travel Guide, and it stands a few hundred feet from the Old Market, Pub Street and Kandal Village.

What stays the same

Each level offers a spa, a pool and several places to eat. Borei Angkor lists six dining venues, FCC Angkor has two swimming pools, and Sofitel describes its free-form pool as the largest in Cambodia. A lower tier still delivers the core of a luxury stay.

Use the questions below in order. The first answer that points firmly in one direction usually settles the tier.

If two tiers tie, pick the lower one and spend the difference on a private Angkor tour. Several hotels arrange them: Borei Angkor offers full-day and half-day private tours, and the Lotus Blanc concierge arranges half-day or full-day Angkor tours.

These three hotels show the ladder well: one at the lower levels, one in the middle and one at the top. Open each page and compare the room you would actually book.

Open the hotel's own page, Agoda and Booking.com in three tabs and enter the same arrival and departure dates in each. Compare the room type, whether breakfast is included and the cancellation terms, because the cheapest line is often the least flexible. FCC Angkor states that all rooms come with breakfast, and Jaya House lists room rates as inclusive of breakfast for two, so those lines tell you more than the headline number.

Once you have a tier, move on to the pages for a $150 upgrade decision, suites against standard rooms, the ultra-luxury tier above $600, or the best hotel for each priority. Brand loyalists can start with the international brands compared, and the full picture sits in Five-Star Luxury Hotels in Siem Reap, Compared.

The directory places three hotels at its lower price levels ($$ to $$$): Borei Angkor Resort & Spa, Lotus Blanc Resort and FCC Angkor by Avani. Borei lists a 40 sqm Deluxe Room and six dining venues. Lotus Blanc lists four room categories, starting with a 40 sqm Landmark Room, and serves a buffet breakfast each morning. FCC Angkor occupies a former French governor's residence in the Old French Quarter, has 80 rooms and suites, and states that all rooms come with breakfast included. Directory symbols show relative level, not a dollar figure, so check each hotel's rate for your dates on its page, Agoda and Booking.com, and compare it with the $150 line before you decide.

At the lower price levels the useful comparison is what each hotel lists. Borei Angkor and Lotus Blanc both sit on National Road 6, so plan on a short ride into town, which Lotus Blanc describes as a five minute tuk-tuk ride to downtown. Standard rooms start around 40 sqm at both hotels (Borei Deluxe, Lotus Landmark), against 38 sqm for the Deluxe King at the middle-level Jaya House. Private plunge pools and butler service appear mainly in suites and villas at the higher levels. What stays: pools, a spa, several restaurants and, at FCC Angkor, breakfast in every room rate. Rule: pick the lower tier when the hotel is a base for sightseeing, and confirm every inclusion on the hotel's page.

The sources collected for this guide state what each hotel offers, not how it sets its prices, so any claim about cost levers would be guesswork. What you can compare from the hotels' own pages is scale, location and inclusions. Sofitel Angkor Phokeethra has 238 rooms, Zannier Phum Baitang has 45 villas, and Amansara has 24 suites. Locations range from a few hundred feet from the Old Market (Park Hyatt) to the outskirts of town (Zannier, about 20 minutes from Angkor Wat according to its destination page). Inclusions differ too: FCC Angkor states breakfast is included in all rooms, and Jaya House lists rates as inclusive of breakfast for two. Compare the full package, not only the headline rate.

The directory's middle level ($$$) holds Jaya House River Park, Viroth's Hotel and Shinta Mani Angkor, and Sofitel Angkor Phokeethra spans $$$ to $$$$. Jaya House has 36 rooms, two swimming pools and a Junior Pool Suite of 90 sqm with a private plunge pool. Viroth's Hotel has 35 guestrooms in a 1950s-inspired design and a 20 m salt water pool. Shinta Mani Angkor has 105 rooms and suites, two pools and ten Bensley Pool Villas with butler service. Sofitel has 238 rooms and a free-form pool it describes as the largest in Cambodia. Directory symbols show relative level only, so read the nightly rate for your dates on the hotel's page and on Agoda and Booking.com, and read the cancellation terms.

The directory's top level ($$$$) holds Park Hyatt Siem Reap, Zannier Phum Baitang and Raffles Grand Hotel d'Angkor. What distinguishes them is stated on their own pages. Raffles opened in 1932, has 119 rooms and includes a personal butler with every stay. Zannier Phum Baitang offers 45 stilted villas on 20 acres, with Pool Villas holding a 20 sqm plunge pool, and states it holds Two Michelin Keys. Park Hyatt has 104 suites and rooms, a saltwater pool and a position a few hundred feet from the Old Market, according to Forbes Travel Guide. Enter the same dates on Agoda and Booking.com, confirm the rate and read the cancellation terms before you book.
