Frommer's Review

Sofitel is famed in the region for bringing life back to classic hotels of old Indochina, but in Siem Reap, they started fresh in 2000, a project limited only by the designer's imagination. The lobby is an old-world Indochine replica with antique Khmer pagoda and a menagerie of overstuffed European furniture. Design and decor throughout nicely marry Khmer and French styles, with vaulted Naga roofs high above the sculpted central garden and tranquil pond area. The courtyard pool is large, open, and fun -- great for kids, with a short river meander crossed by a small bridge. They also recently added an 18-hole golf course. The spa is tops, and the private massage areas are uniquely resplendent with private baths. Rooms are spacious, with dark wood floors and rich touches like designer throw rugs and elegant built-in cabinetry. All bathrooms are large, with tubs and large granite counters. Spring for a superior room with a balcony and a view of the central courtyard: It's worth it. Not surprisingly, there's an Angkor theme throughout, but the statuary is not overdone and is quite pleasing in both common areas and sleeping quarters (unique in a town of gaudy reproductions of the sights). Be sure to take a moment, preferably near the magic hour of sunset (but any time will do) and take it all in from the island pagoda in the central pond.

Facilities:
5 restaurants; 3 bars; large outdoor pool; health club; spa; Jacuzzi; sauna; rentals; concierge; tour desk; business center; shopping; room service; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking floor; banquet facilities.
