Exquisitely peaceful garden hideaway
Facilities & services

This luxurious boutique lodge is a serene hideaway set beside the Siem Reap River. Enclosed by tropical trees, this delightful art-deco haven, with a soothing white façade is ringed by a beautiful garden and centred around two turquoise swimming pools. Giving back to the local community is critical to this hotel’s operations, and it does so through the founding, funding and organising of various projects and NGOs.
There are 36 rooms to choose from, offering either a balcony or direct garden and pool access. Contemporary furnishings, muted tones with the occasional bright pop of colour, and deluxe fabrics make each spacious room and suite a tranquil oasis in which to relax in the utmost comfort.
Guests can revive their spirits at the hotel’s on-site restaurant, serving both local and international dishes. Further rejuvenation can be sought at the idyllic spa after a day of venturing on tuk-tuks into town and exploring the magnificent Angkor Wat temples.

The 10,000 Trees project
This project was created to nourish, grow and donate sustainably grown tree saplings to families, public roads and spaces in areas of Siem Reap province. All ‘trees’ are donated free-of-charge, but a commitment is required to maintain the saplings and see them flourish into fully-grown specimens.
