VERIFIED LUXURY
Here are five things to know about us:
1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

Opened in 2000, Sofitel
Angkor Phokeethra Golf & Spa Resort is a picturesque property on the
northern outskirts of Siem
Reap. With 238 rooms and suites set among low-rise, colonial-style
buildings and palm-filled gardens, anchored by a meandering lagoon pool and
lily-pad-covered ponds, it's a veritable oasis from the dusty streets outside.
A wonderful base
from which to explore Angkor Wat, just a 10-minute drive directly north on the
Rue Charles de Gaulle, the hotel kickstarts your day with a sumptuous buffet of
Western breakfast classics, local fresh fruits and a range of noodles and dim
sum at The Citadel restaurant that’s a must before heading north to Angkor or
south into the city for a morning's excursion.
After returning to
the hotel, splash in the largest free-form pool in Cambodia and order a
cocktail from the poolside Serpent Bar; or drive west to play a round on the
emerald greens of the 18-hole Phokeethra Country Club. Then as the sun sets, settle
into a lakeside seat at Mouhot's Dream, where superlative French dishes — like
Brittany cod with champagne, or lobster bisque risotto — are served atop white
linen by candlelight, a suitably romantic ode to the legend of Henri Mouhot,
the famous 19th-century French explorer who “discovered” the ruins of Angkor.
