Swimming pool
The hotel´s swimming pool is surrounded by lush, verdant foliage to provide a private, intimate space. Decorated in handmade mosaics in beautiful shades of green, it is styled after the nearby Baray Lakes.
The lakes were built as part of an irrigation system in the 11th century and heavily decorated with central temples and immense carved statues. Thought to have been connected to the Great Lake (Tonle Sap) and providing a private waterway for royalty, it is a noteworthy achievement and worth a visit in its own right. The Residence´s pool pays homage to the greatness of the original lakes by mirroring the form and dimensions.
The pool is filled with salted freshwater using a unique system which removes the need for chlorination, providing the swimmer with an improved experience.
The pool is available to guests 24 hours a day.
Spa Treatments
Treat yourself to a relaxing or revitalising spa treatment in the comfort and privacy of your own room. The therapist blends the latest scientific techniques with ancient wisdom to create a unique healing experience.
Golf in Angkor
Enjoy a round of golf during your stay in Cambodia at La Residence d´Angkor.
Cambodia is fast becoming a popular destination for a golfing holiday and we are pleased to be able to offer guests the opportunity to enjoy a leisurely round or two at one of the premier golf courses in Phnom Penh, or perhaps the new Angkor golf resort designed by Nick Faldo in Siem Reap, opening in August 2007.
All golfing enquiries can be directed through the concierge during your stay or arranged in advance at the time of booking.
Excursions
Half day or full day private escorted tours to the area’s historical sites can be arranged by the front desk, including pick up/drop off at the hotel and a registered guide to take you through your chosen sites. Picnic baskets and refreshments can also be arranged. These are available daily, from sunrise to sunset and fees vary by excursion.
Suggested itineraries include:
Koh Ker Excursion
An early start to the day with a light breakfast provided before leaving the hotel at 0600. An hour and a half´s journey while the world awakes around you takes you to the lost city of Koh Ker, a relic of the Khmer empire. A guided tour around the stunning architecture of this city which was the Khmer capital in the 10th century is followed by a picnic lunch in the paddy fields. Continue in the afternoon around this fascinating grouping of temples, ancient statues and monuments, and don´t forget to climb to the top of the 40-foot temple Prasat Thom, for spectacular views across the temple complex and surrounding countryside.
Private Cruise on Tonle Sap
For those with a little extra time, we recommend a private cruise on a 25m long wooden boat on Tonle Sap Lake. Tonle Sap is the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia, and the perfect spot for watching a romantic sunset. The hotel will cater to your needs to ensure that this will be an unforgettable experience.
