Park Hyatt Siem Reap exudes peace, with
its tranquil pools, Khmer design flourishes and tropical wooden furnishings.
What makes it stand apart from its luxury competition is its location in the
heart of town, just a few hundred feet from central attractions like the Old
Market, the royal residence, Pub Street and Kandal Village.
The hotel keeps with Park Hyatt's
reputation for high-end urban retreats, but with the bold creative input by
celebrated Bangkok- and Bali-based resort designer Bill Bensley. The American
was behind the original art deco look and feel of the property when it opened
back in 2002, and he was brought in to update it a decade later, retaining many
of the aspects that had made it so fun (1930s-style door signs), but adding a
touch of sophisticated opulence (elephant tusk bar tables).
The smart entry-level rooms either look
out into the gardens or onto the city, but it's the Pool Suites that deserve
your attention, with their private plunges and courtyard providing another
level of escape.
While guests will enjoy the all-day
Dining Room, with its mix of international and Khmer cuisine, and the dark wood
Living Room — Bensley's ode to an explorer's boudoir — it's the bright and airy
Glasshouse Deli that brings the French charm.
