The pleasure of eating in Siem Reap often happens within a short walk of the hotel: market stalls, grilled snacks, noodle counters and the lively streets around Pub Street. A luxury hotel that places you close to this scene lets you step out for an hour and return to a quiet room.
This page groups hotels by area and quotes the walk or ride each one states. For the wider view of food-focused stays, see luxury hotels for food and craft lovers. If you also want to arrange visits to makers, read about craft in that guide's craft section.
The eating areas around central Siem Reap
Three names keep appearing in the hotels' own descriptions: the Old Market, Pub Street and Kandal Village. Sokha Angkor Resort adds the Night Market, which its official site places within walking distance. Hotels in and near the centre reach these in minutes, while resorts on National Road 6 or the outskirts trade a short ride for larger grounds.
The easiest way to choose is to decide how you want your evening to feel. A walk after dinner suits a central hotel, and a short tuk-tuk ride suits a guest who likes a quieter base.

Park Hyatt Siem Reap leads on the stated distance, followed by Angkor Village Hotel, where the Old Market is a 5 minute walk. Both suit a guest who wants to wander out after a late dinner.
