Once King Sihanouk’s guest house, Amansara retains the regal grandeur his royal guests would once have enjoyed thanks to the refined service, elevated decor and understated luxury Aman is famed for. While this combines to create a hotel that is a destination in itself, its location in the French Quarter, just a 10-minute tuk-tuk ride to the Angkor monuments, makes it a sumptuous base from which to explore the city sites.
Bringing a contemporary angle to classical Indochine design, the decor is quietly luxurious and evokes a sense of calm that seeps through every area. The 24 Suites include 12 Pool Suites though all offer a courtyard space with high walls to offer privacy. The restaurant’s interior is almost as spectacular as the menu, with a circular design and grand domed ceiling that hints at its former incarnation as the dance hall. The courtyard pool and manicured gardens invite you to relax, while forest therapy, personalised yoga sessions and restorative spa treatments elevate this relaxation potential to its peak.
