Lotus Blanc Resort is a comfortable mid-range resort on National Road 6, known as the Airport Road, with 61 individually furnished rooms and a good range of facilities for the size. The outdoor pool and children’s pool sit beside a poolside bar, and the spa has four treatment rooms for massage after temple days. Guests can eat at three on-site restaurants, including the Rice Kitchen and Siso Bistro and Bar, and there is also a coffee shop. A free breakfast buffet runs from early morning until mid-morning, and 24-hour room service is a welcome touch after a late return from a sunset tour. Business travellers will find a business centre and a conference room, and families can arrange babysitting for a fee. The resort’s smaller scale gives it a friendly feel compared with the big international brands, and the price level suits travellers who want resort comforts without a luxury bill.
Location and getting around
The resort is on the Airport Road, about a sixty-one-minute drive from the airport, with the Old Market and Pub Street within about five kilometres and the Angkor National Museum, the night market and the Royal Residence within about three kilometres. This is not a walking location, so you will use tuk-tuks or the hotel’s transport for most trips. Temple tours can be arranged through the front desk.
Rooms and facilities
Rooms are air-conditioned and individually furnished, and the hotel provides free Wi-Fi, free self and valet parking, a gym and bicycle rental. The breakfast buffet is included in the rate, which gives a good start before an early temple tour.
Who it suits
Families and groups who want a pool and room service at a moderate price, travellers arriving late or leaving early thanks to the road to the airport and couples who prefer a quieter location outside the central tourist area.
Good to know
Because the resort is a few kilometres out, book a tuk-tuk for your evenings and agree the fare in advance. The dry months are the busiest, so reserve early. Ask about airport transfers when booking, since the drive takes about an hour.
Nearby and what to do
The Angkor National Museum, the Angkor Night Market and the Royal Residence are all within a short ride, so you can fill an afternoon without going far. Many guests use the resort as a base for a morning temple tour, return for the pool at midday and take a tuk-tuk into town for dinner. The 24-hour room service helps on days with very early starts or late returns, and the breakfast buffet opens early enough for sunrise tours to leave on time.
