Park Hyatt Siem Reap is the polished, central choice for travellers who want a luxury hotel with a strong sense of place and an easy walk into town. It stands on Sivutha Boulevard in the Angkor Night Market area and was rebuilt on the site of the old Hotel de la Paix, a classic of the colonial era, with a design that mixes a modern take on art deco with echoes of Angkor Wat. Around 107 rooms and suites are arranged around a central courtyard, and the inward-facing rooms are calm and quiet, with a crisp black and white look that has been described as little art deco temples. At the heart of the hotel is the courtyard swimming pool and water garden, a sedate and handsome space for cooling off after a morning among the ruins. The three-storey Spa Indochine offers Khmer-inspired treatments for tired legs, and there is a well-regarded Khmer restaurant and a bar on site. The more expensive suites come with their own garden terraces and, in some cases, outdoor baths, which makes them a favourite for honeymooners and anniversary trips. Siem Reap’s restaurants, cafes and night markets are within walking distance, and the hotel’s concierge can arrange temple tours, sunrise transfers and evening shows. It is a popular luxury address in town, so reserve ahead in the busy season.
Location and getting around
The hotel is in the centre of Siem Reap, a few minutes on foot from the Old Market and Pub Street and close to the Angkor Night Market, so evenings out require no transport at all. The Angkor temples are a short drive north, and Angkor Wat is around fifteen to twenty minutes by tuk-tuk or car, depending on traffic. The new Siem Reap Angkor International Airport is about an hour away, so ask about airport transfers when booking.
Rooms
Rooms are arranged around the central courtyard and are decorated in a sleek, restrained palette, with large beds, deep baths in many categories and work desks. Garden-terrace suites are the most generous choice, with private outdoor space. Courtyard-facing rooms are the quietest, so request one if you sleep lightly or need to rest between early temple starts.
Who it suits
Couples, honeymooners and first-time visitors who want a high-end hotel in a walkable location, and families who value a peaceful pool and good service. It is also a good fit for travellers who want to be close to restaurants and shopping rather than out on the river road.
Good to know
Sunrise at Angkor Wat means a very early start, so arrange breakfast boxes and a driver the evening before. Book spa treatments early in the high season, from November to February, when the hotel is at its busiest. Rates change with the season and the length of stay, so compare room types and cancellation terms before you reserve.
