The essentials in 30 seconds

  • Verdict: Choose the group that fits how you like to travel: Accor for a grand heritage address (Raffles) or a lake-and-garden resort (Sofitel), Hyatt for a temple-retreat setting in the former Hôtel de la Paix building, Minor Hotels for suite-led and Old French Quarter stays, and Sokha for a large resort within walking distance of Pub Street.
  • Best for: Travellers who already hold a loyalty card, and travellers with no preference who want a simple way to shortlist four or five hotels.
  • Good to know: The sources behind this page cover Accor, Hyatt, Minor Hotels and Sokha hotels in Siem Reap. Marriott, Pullman and the standalone Avani brand are not covered here, so confirm those on the groups' own sites.
  • Next step: Open the group page that matches your profile, then check the same dates on Agoda and Booking.com.

Many travellers arrive in Siem Reap with a hotel group in mind: a loyalty card in the wallet, a good memory of a brand in another city, or simply trust in a name. A group is a useful first filter because it tells you what style of stay to expect before you read a single room description.

This page turns that filter into a rule. Each section names the hotels a group runs in Siem Reap, what the hotels say about themselves, and which kind of traveller each one suits. Hotel details come from the hotels' and groups' own pages, so hours and rates should be confirmed before you travel.

The profile-to-brand rule

Start with the sentence that sounds most like you, then follow it to the group page. Each pick below is guidance drawn from what the hotels publish, and every group page goes into more depth.

Pick by profile

  • Heritage seeker: Raffles Grand Hotel d'Angkor, which says it opened in 1932 and describes its style as 1930s French Art Deco.
  • Resort lover: Sofitel Angkor Phokeethra Golf & Spa Resort, with a free-form pool, a botanical garden and an 18-hole golf course managed by the resort.
  • Temple-retreat seeker: Park Hyatt Siem Reap, listed by American Express as an ancient temple retreat on Sivutha Boulevard.
  • Suite and courtyard lover: Anantara Angkor Resort, which Minor Hotels describes as an all-suite boutique hotel.
  • Old French Quarter explorer: FCC Angkor by Avani, which Minor Hotels calls a hidden gem in the heart of the Old French Quarter.
  • Scale and central location: the Sokha resort, which its official site places in the heart of Siem Reap with Pub Street and the Night Market within walking distance.

Loyalty members can add a second layer: the programme that matches the group (Accor ALL, World of Hyatt or Minor DISCOVERY) sometimes changes which rate is the better one, as the last section explains.

Accor: Raffles and Sofitel

Accor's own listing of five-star hotels in Siem Reap shows two hotels: Raffles Grand Hotel d'Angkor under the Raffles brand and Sofitel Angkor Phokeethra Golf & Spa Resort under the Sofitel brand. The two feel different on purpose.

Raffles says it was the first luxurious grand hotel of its kind to open in Siem Reap and calls its rooms, suites and villas a blend of old-world charm, Cambodian influences and contemporary detail. It sits in the Old French Quarter, and every stay includes a personal butler according to the hotel. Michelin included it in the first MICHELIN Keys selection for Cambodia, although sources differ on whether it holds one key or two, so confirm the current count on the Michelin site.

Sofitel, whose brand line celebrates the French art de vivre, runs a resort of 238 rooms with a free-form pool that the hotel describes as the largest in Cambodia, a spa by Sofitel SPA with L'Occitane and a botanical garden of lakes and native plants. Its restaurants include Mouhot's Dream for French cuisine by the Sala Lake and The Citadel for buffets with live cooking stations.

Which one should a heritage seeker book? Raffles. Which one suits a traveller who wants a resort with lawns, a large pool and a golf course nearby? Sofitel. The head-to-head page, Accor in Siem Reap compared, walks through both in detail.

Minor Hotels and Hyatt

Minor Hotels appears in Siem Reap through two properties in this guide. According to the Minor Hotels page, Anantara Angkor Resort is an all-suite boutique hotel with butler service in each suite, and FCC Angkor, which Michelin lists as FCC Angkor by Avani, sits in the Old French Quarter. Michelin's own listing gives FCC Angkor by Avani one MICHELIN Key.

Hyatt's presence is Park Hyatt Siem Reap, which occupies the former Hôtel de la Paix building. Hospitality Net's profile of the brand describes Park Hyatt service as quietly confident and personalised, and American Express lists the hotel in its Fine Hotels + Resorts programme.

Sokha: scale and a central address

Sokha is the group to consider when you want a large resort with a central address. The official site describes the Siem Reap hotel as a five-star classic luxury resort, places it in the heart of town, and gives a 10 minute drive to the Angkor Wat temples.

Dining at the resort is built around three restaurants and one bar, including The Lotus for buffets and Takezono for sushi and teppanyaki. The spa is called Jasmine Spa, and the salt water pool has a replica of Preah Vihear temple with waterfalls and an adjoining children's pool. Room counts differ between pages (the official overview and its amenities list give different totals), so confirm the current figure with the resort. The full profile is on Sokha, the local chain.

Loyalty programmes and how to book

Three programmes sit behind the hotels above. Accor's ALL page states that members earn up to 25 Reward points per 10 euros spent at participating hotels and that 1,000 Reward points equal 20 euros toward part of a stay as listed in October 2026 (confirm before you travel). ALL also advertises a member rate of up to 10 percent off, and says the discount varies by hotel brand.

World of Hyatt terms reproduced on a hotel page state that members receive 5 Base Points for eligible spending, and that points are earned for up to three guestrooms only when paying an Eligible Rate. Minor DISCOVERY is described by Minor Hotels with member savings when booking directly, so loyalty members gain by comparing the direct rate with the platform rate for the same dates.

Before you click

  • Compare the member rate on the hotel's site with the price on Agoda and Booking.com for identical dates and room type.
  • Check whether your points and status benefits apply to the rate you choose.
  • Read the cancellation terms of each rate, because they differ from one rate to the next.
  • Add the taxes and service charges shown at checkout to your comparison.

Enter the same dates on Agoda and Booking.com, compare the total for the same room type, and read the cancellation terms before you click.

Compare the 10 hotels

Marriott and other groups to confirm

The sources behind this guide cover Accor, Hyatt, Minor Hotels and Sokha hotels in Siem Reap and hold no Marriott-group property, so this guide does not name one. If you are a Marriott member, check Marriott's own site for the current list of hotels for your dates, then compare the member rate with the rate on Agoda and Booking.com. Hyatt members can look at Park Hyatt Siem Reap, which occupies the former Hôtel de la Paix building, and Accor ALL members can look at Raffles and Sofitel. Read the cancellation terms of each rate before you book.

Using loyalty points at a Siem Reap luxury hotel

For Marriott points, rely on Marriott's own program pages: the sources behind this guide do not include them. For other groups, Accor's ALL page states that members earn up to 25 Reward points per 10 euros spent at participating hotels and that 1,000 Reward points equal 20 euros toward part of a stay, as listed in October 2026 (confirm before you travel). World of Hyatt terms state that members receive 5 Base Points for eligible spending and earn points for up to three guestrooms only when paying an Eligible Rate. In every case, compare the points price or member rate with the cash price for the same dates on Agoda and Booking.com.

Turning points into a night: five checks

Work through five checks. First, search your dates on the programme's own booking page. Second, set the points price beside the cash price for the same dates on Agoda and Booking.com; as a yardstick, Accor's ALL page lists 1,000 Reward points as worth 20 euros toward part of a stay (as listed in October 2026, confirm before you travel). Third, if your dates are unavailable, try nearby dates before you decide. Fourth, consider adding one paid night to extend the stay. Fifth, read the change and cancellation terms for award nights before you confirm. Take every points price and redemption rule from the programme's official page, since they change.

Anantara and Avani at a glance

Minor Hotels describes Anantara Angkor Resort as an all-suite boutique hotel in Siem Reap, and its page mentions butler service with the suites, a spa, a salt water pool and the Chi and Road6 venues. Under the Avani name, Minor Hotels describes FCC Angkor by Avani as a hidden gem in the heart of Siem Reap's Old French Quarter, and Michelin lists the hotel with one MICHELIN Key. A simple rule: choose the Anantara resort when you want a suite-based stay with spa and dining on site, and choose FCC Angkor by Avani when a central Old French Quarter address matters most. Confirm which properties operate under each brand for your dates.

Anantara or Avani: pick by guest need

Pick by what you want from the stay. The Anantara resort, according to the Minor Hotels page, offers suites with butler service, a spa with access to a steam room, sauna and jacuzzi, a salt water pool, and private dining with a personal chef through Dining by Design. FCC Angkor by Avani suits travellers who want the Old French Quarter setting that Minor Hotels describes. Ratings and review counts change often, so read the current scores for the same dates on Agoda and Booking.com, then read the cancellation terms before you book.

Anantara or Avani for couples

For couples, the Anantara page describes suites with a daybed, balcony and rain showers, terrace suites with a private plunge pool, and Dining by Design, a private dining concept with a choice of locales, a personal chef and butler service. The spa lists spa suites and a wellness relaxation area. FCC Angkor by Avani suits couples who prefer the Old French Quarter setting. Read recent reviews for the romance details you care about, enter the same dates on Agoda and Booking.com, and read the cancellation terms before you click.

Anantara or Avani for families

For families, the Anantara page describes a family suite with two ensuite bedrooms and a private pool, and lists roll-away beds for its main suite types. Guests can also join Spice Spoons Khmer cooking classes with a market visit, and the booking widget defines age bands for children and infants, so confirm your children's ages and the child rate with the hotel. For FCC Angkor by Avani, ask the hotel about family rooms. Enter identical dates on Agoda and Booking.com and read the cancellation terms before you book.

Is Park Hyatt Siem Reap the former Hôtel de la Paix?

Park Hyatt Siem Reap occupies the former Hôtel de la Paix building, so a guide that mentions Hôtel de la Paix is describing the same address.
