Kea Spa at La Résidence d’Angkor boasts
a sanctuary atmosphere, helping ensure
that relaxation begins immediately. The
menu features a varied and interesting
range of treatments, including Khmer
(both in terms of technique and products),
served up using predominantly local,
chemical-free products.

Stay at a beautiful hotel
La Résidence d’Angkor by Orient-Express
oozes five-star decadence and manages
to convey an away-from-it-all feel despite
its central location. Angkorian and
Khmer details inside and out lend the
property a genuine sense of place. The
rooms and suites are spacious, decorated
with style and subtlety and offer either
garden or pool views. Enjoy a soak in
your extra-large bathtub before chilling
out on the balcony or terrace (being in
the thick of the action means guests are
treated to views of the city in all its glory).
The offerings at both restaurants, which
include Khmer dishes, are excellent and
the Martini Bar is ideal for a cocktail after
a day of sightseeing. The pool is open
around the clock.
