History and Story
• Originally established on February 14, 2009, the hotel was christened « The Sothea » in honour of Madam Sothea, a beloved wife and mother, as a heartfelt birthday gesture. By 2011, the property underwent a rebranding transformation into « Alila Sothea » under the prestigious umbrella of Alila Hotels & Resorts. In 2013, Minor Hotels Group acquired the establishment, ushering in a new era as it was rechristened as the Anantara Angkor Resort, a distinguished member of the renowned Anantara Hotels & Resorts family.
• This all-suite luxury hotel boasts a selection of eight distinctive categories of Khmer-style suites, totalling 39 opulent retreats. Each suite is adorned with exquisite Khmer silks, teakwood floors, and silk-panelled walls, exuding a sense of refinement and elegance. The property’s architectural design pays homage to Khmer heritage, drawing inspiration from the majestic splendour of the nearby Angkor Wat.
• Throughout the resort, traditional Khmer influences are seamlessly woven into the fabric of its design, reflecting the cultural richness of Cambodia. From the intricately designed swimming pool to the serene Frangipani Courtyard, every aspect of the property resonates with the essence of Khmer artistry. Guests are enveloped in an immersive experience of Cambodian culture, evident in the intricate wall carvings adorning the suites and pathways, adding a touch of historical charm to the ambiance.
