Amansara

The name Amansara, Siem Reap Hotel, derives from the twinning of the word aman (Sanskrit for peace) and apsara (the heavenly nymphs of ancient Hindu texts who emerged from the primordial churning of the oceans with the power to change their form at will and to bestow luck on those they favored).

The enclave, located in Siem Reap Cambodia, was once the guest villa of King Norodom Sihanouk. It has been transformed into a suite retreat that provides an ideal base for exploring the temples of Angkor and the sophisticated culture of the Khmer civilization. Amansara, Siem Reap Hotel, has the inviting ambience of a gracious home and is set in a private garden compound with mature, shade trees.

Amansara, Siem Reap Hotel, has 12 suites, similar in design, featuring an open plan setting with finishes in terrazzo and timber. Colors are muted and earthy. Entry is to a combined sleeping and living area that contains a large writing desk and a king-size bed. Adjacent is a dressing area with hanging cupboards and drawers. The lounge has a large sofa, and informal circular dining table and chairs.

Beyond, and leading down a few steps, is the bathroom which opens onto a light-filled courtyard featuring a water garden and cushioned banquette. The bathroom contains twin vanities, makeup mirror, a large soaking tub and a separate shower and toilet. A floor-to-ceiling glass partition separates the toilet from the courtyard, letting in light and patio views. Each suite is air-conditioned, with ceiling fans, telephone (twin lines for Internet access), room safe and a CD music system.
