Set on Siem Reap’s main Airport Road, Lotus Blanc Resort is a calm, green-edged base that feels slightly removed from the bustle, while still being an easy ride into town. It suits travellers who want a comfortable resort setting to recharge between temple days.
The style leans classic and a little grand, with a French-Cambodian look through the lobby and public spaces and a relaxed, unhurried atmosphere around the gardens and pool. Service is one of the big strengths here, with staff who are attentive without being overbearing.
Rooms are spacious and thoughtfully laid out, typically with a private balcony, strong air-conditioning, a comfortable bed, seating area, and the usual resort essentials like minibar and good Wi-Fi. Bathrooms are generous, and the overall feel is more “proper hotel stay” than crash-pad.
If you are choosing categories, aim for a pool-facing room for the nicest outlook, or consider a suite-style option if you want extra lounging space after long days at Angkor. Families and couples alike tend to appreciate the extra room to spread out.
Dining is anchored by the main restaurant for breakfast and relaxed Khmer and international meals, and there’s also a lounge and bar options for a quiet drink. Breakfast is a highlight for many guests, particularly the variety and made-to-order feel.
Location is practical for arrivals and departures, and it keeps you within a short tuk-tuk ride of Pub Street, the night markets, and the Angkor National Museum. You are also well placed for early starts out to the temples.
Between sightseeing, the large pool is the natural centrepiece, and the spa is ideal for an easy reset before or after your Angkor day. There’s also a gym if you like to keep moving in the heat.
Reviews consistently praise the warm hospitality, the big, comfortable rooms, and the pool area, with frequent mentions of an excellent breakfast. The overall tone is “great value for the level of comfort,” especially for travellers who like returning to a quieter base after the crowds.
Bottom Line: A dependable, spacious, resort-style stay with a standout pool and service, ideal for pairing serious Angkor sightseeing with proper downtime.

Set on a quiet stretch of the Mekong just outside the city, The Balé Phnom Penh feels more like a private riverside retreat than a typical Phnom Penh hotel. It’s the sort of place you choose when you want genuine downtime, with the city’s key sights still within straightforward reach by car.
The design is sleek and minimalist, with calming lines, water features and lots of open space, and the mood is deliberately unhurried. Service is discreet and genuinely warm, and the whole place has a hushed, “take a breath” feel that works beautifully after busy touring days.
Rooms are all-suite and notably spacious, with a clean modern aesthetic, big bathrooms and thoughtful comforts that make it easy to settle in. Expect strong air-conditioning, good bedding, generous lounging space, and the little details that matter when you are escaping the heat.
If you can, choose a river-facing suite for the best sense of place, especially at sunset when the light softens over the water. Courtyard suites are also excellent and tend to feel very private, with lovely views across the calm inner gardens and pool area.
Dining centres on the hotel’s restaurant, which delivers refined Khmer flavours alongside familiar favourites, and breakfast is typically a made-to-order affair rather than a bustling buffet. Dining can be as formal or as relaxed as you like, from an elegant table setting to something simpler by the pool.
Location is in a peaceful riverside area outside central Phnom Penh, so plan on a 20 to 30 minute drive into town depending on traffic. The trade-off is worth it for the tranquillity, and it pairs well with a city stay if you want both energy and escape across your trip.
The centrepiece is the long riverside pool, which is ideal for an afternoon reset, plus there’s a well-equipped gym and spa treatments for post-sightseeing recovery. It’s a strong choice for couples and anyone who values calm, space and privacy, rather than being in the thick of the city.
Reviews consistently highlight the serene setting, striking design, and the professionalism of the team, with many guests calling out the exceptional pool and the overall sense of peace. Room size and comfort are frequent positives, and the food and breakfast tend to be well regarded, especially for shorter stays.
Bottom Line: A polished, minimalist Mekong-side retreat with big, beautiful suites and a standout pool, ideal for travellers who want Phnom Penh’s highlights by day and real calm by night.

This collection of floating and on-land tented villas offers a once in a lifetime to experience the beauty and splendour of the Cardamom Rainforest.
The lodge was the first in the world to place luxury tents on floating pontoons and each tented villa has been designed to provide you with the highest levels of comfort, quality and luxury.

Within minutes of arrival, you’ll feel the calmness and tranquillity wash over you. Listen to the gentle sound of the river and the orchestral soundtrack of the wildlife – birds, insects, monkeys and perhaps even an elephant if you listen closely enough.
You can spend your days relaxing on your private sundeck, jumping into the refreshing water, kayaking, venturing into the rainforest for tours and activities, and enjoying local and Western-style cuisine.
Chefs at the Canvas & Orchids Restaurant are eager to share some of their local recipes and take great pride in serving recipes that have been handed down through the generations.
There are some great activities on offer. Enjoy a trip downstream in a kayak or join a nature trip with one of the expert guides.
For the adventurous, there are treks through the jungle or up the impressive Ta Kiev Mountain.
One of the most popular relaxing activities is the sunset cruise. This is a magical excursion as you watch the colours of both the sky and the river change before your eyes as the sun slowly disappears. Fireflies start to appear as the final red glow fades on the water, and their energetic, illuminating dance is sure to mesmerise you.
