La Résidence d'Angkor: status note, October 2026
La Résidence d'Angkor is currently closed. The official La Résidence Hotels site lists a reopening in Q1 2028, as listed in October 2026, so confirm the date before you plan around it. KS Hotels and HMD Asia acquired the hotel, which Belmond previously owned and managed, and a November 2024 press report that cited a 4Q2025 reopening has been superseded by the official site. The official site describes it as one of the first luxury hotels to open in Siem Reap. Because the hotel cannot be booked now, choose an open alternative from the directory and check the official site for news.
La Résidence d'Angkor rooms: a historical note
After a six-month refurbishment in 2016, the Belmond-era hotel reopened as an all-suite property with 59 suites with private terraces. Wikipedia lists 62 rooms, and that page is unsourced and outdated, so sources differ. The 2016 interiors were a collaboration between GA Design of London and Beyond Design of Cambodia. The room count after the new reopening is unknown, and the hotel is closed, so there is nothing to book today. Use this as history only and check the official site once the hotel reopens.
La Résidence d'Angkor dining and spa: a historical note
The official site promotes a salt-water pool and names the spa as Kong Kea Spa. In the 2016 relaunch the hotel had Spice Circle (Cambodian and Khmer fine dining), Ember (poolside grill) and Martini Lounge (cocktail and tapas bar), and these may not carry over after the new reopening. Hours and menus are to be confirmed on the hotel's page once it reopens. The hotel is closed today, with a reopening listed for Q1 2028 on the official site, as listed in October 2026.
La Résidence d'Angkor location and rates
The bundle holds no confirmed address, distances or rates for La Résidence d'Angkor, and the hotel is closed. The official site lists a reopening in Q1 2028, as listed in October 2026, so rates are not available to compare. Check the official La Résidence Hotels site for news, and meanwhile compare open hotels on the directory page using the same dates on Agoda and Booking.com.
Anantara Angkor Resort in brief
According to the Minor Hotels brand page, Anantara Angkor Resort is a Khmer-style resort of suites around a courtyard pool, with a saltwater pool at its heart. The page describes the Anantara Spa, restaurants named Chi and Road6, and a resort setting a short drive from the city centre and the Angkor Wat temple complex. This profile may suit couples and spa-minded guests who want a resort feel close to town. The Google rating, review count and price band are to be confirmed on the hotel's page and on Agoda and Booking.com, as listed in October 2026. Enter the same dates on both sites and read the cancellation terms before you book.
Anantara Angkor rooms in brief
The Minor Hotels brand page describes Khmer-style suites around a courtyard pool. It mentions one suite type with garden views and a private balcony, and a family suite with two ensuite bedrooms and a private pool. Sizes, the full list of categories and the views are to be confirmed on the hotel's page. A reasonable rule from these descriptions: couples who plan to spend time at the hotel can look at the garden suite, and families can ask about the family suite. Confirm availability and current inclusions before you travel, as listed in October 2026.
Anantara Angkor spa and dining in brief
According to the Minor Hotels brand page, the restaurants are Chi and Road6. Road6 is described as a vintage-style venue serving martinis and Angkor-inspired cocktails, and dining is said to cover Khmer flavours, curries and European classics. The page mentions organic local produce, a lavish breakfast buffet and in suite dining offered around the clock. The spa is called Anantara Spa, with herbal compress massage and reflexology among the treatments, and complimentary access to the fitness center, steam room, sauna and jacuzzi. Menus, opening hours and treatment lists are to be confirmed on the hotel's page, as listed in October 2026.
Anantara Angkor location and rates in brief
The Minor Hotels brand page gives the address as National Road no. 6, Khum Svay Dangkom, Siem Reap, and places the resort a short drive from the city centre and the Angkor Wat temple complex. Guides and the brand page state distances and airport drive times, so confirm exact minutes on the hotel's page before you plan arrival. The page says a representative meets guests at arrivals. Nightly rates by season are to be confirmed on the hotel's page and on Agoda and Booking.com, as listed in October 2026. Enter the same dates on both sites and read the cancellation terms before you click.
