Travellers destined to explore the man-made wonder that is Angkor Wat used to face a limited selection of accommodation choices, ranging from dingy backpackers’ hostels to … dank backpackers’ hostels. La Residence D’Angkor, set inside a lush garden, offers a step above the usual options, providing a splash of luxury amid all the history.

The simply decorated rooms feature local materials such as bamboo and silk, and all rooms overlook the river, garden or pool, courtesy of relaxation-inducing private terraces. Amply-named rooms like the “Royal Deluxe Riverside” room include marble bathrooms and terrazzo baths – a real step above the water jug and bowl at many other Siem Reap properties.

Dining outlets are beautifully decorated and reek of French colonial style, with plenty of wood, glass and light. The Dining Room features international and Khmer fare, with the addition of traditional dance performances some nights of the week. The late-afternoon BBQ Restaurant, meanwhile, is poolside and even includes teppanyaki.
