Angkor Village Hotel occupies a cluster of traditional Khmer wooden buildings in Siem Reap, just minutes from the city centre and its night markets. The property, which opened in 1997, stands out for its hand-carved wooden architecture, a landscaped garden organised around a pond, and its historic Apsara theatre. 43 rooms decorated in Khmer style make up the accommodation, complemented by an open-air restaurant, a lounge bar, a spa and a swimming pool.

Why choose Angkor Village Hotel

The property belongs to a generation of pioneering addresses in Siem Reap tourism. Its Angkor Village Apsara theatre, founded in 1997, is one of the oldest active venues for classical Khmer dance performances in the city. The wooden buildings, curated décor and garden with its water features form a cohesive whole, set apart from the standardisation of major hotel chains in the area. It's a thoughtful choice for travellers seeking to stay in a setting with strong architectural identity while remaining close to the city centre and the temples of Angkor.

Atmosphere and architecture

The concept is that of a reconstructed Khmer village: wooden pavilions connected by pathways, a garden with pond, hand-carved furniture and vibrant textiles. The Kenary Lounge Bar extends this identity with a collection of antiques displayed in the room. The Aaraama restaurant, open-air by the pond, serves Khmer cuisine whose recipes follow a historical timeline, with local ingredients and traditional techniques. In the evening, the theatre's Apsara dance performances punctuate the week.

The rooms

The 43 rooms are decorated in Khmer style: finely carved wooden furniture, colourful fabrics, large windows and spacious bathrooms. Several categories are available:

• Small Room: located on the ground floor, it retains its original 1997 appearance and is the hotel's most authentic category.
• Double and Twin Rooms with garden view: opening onto the property's greenery.
• Twin and Double Rooms on the upper floor: views of the pond, pool and gardens.
• Suites: generous size, bathroom equipped with a jacuzzi and private terrace overlooking the landscaped grounds.

Standard amenities: air conditioning, minibar, kettle, wardrobe, flat-screen television (except Small Room category). Free Wi-Fi in common areas.

Services and facilities

The Aaraama restaurant serves Khmer cuisine structured by historical periods, outdoors by the pond. The Kenary Lounge Bar offers tropical juices, cocktails, beers and snacks in a room adorned with antiques.

The spa offers signature treatments inspired by Khmer practices: herbal compress massages, rice and jasmine scrub, facials. A swimming pool, fitness centre and Angkor Village Apsara theatre complete the facilities. Classical Khmer dance performances take place several times a week.

The hotel is located in Siem Reap, a short distance from the city centre and its night markets. The temples of Angkor, the main reason most travellers visit, are accessible by tuk-tuk in just minutes from the property.
