Shinta Mani Angkor & Bensley Collection Pool Villas is a fantastic option for those wanting a super slick and stylish boutique hotel in a great location, just a 15-minute drive from Angkor Wat.
Designed by Bill Bensley, Shinta Mani Angkor and Bensley Collection Pool Villas has a fantastic sense of place combined with chic, modern feel. The property is located in the leafy French Quarter, bursting with an eclectic mix of artisanal cafes, bars, galleries and trendy boutiques. The town centre is a short walk away, and the Angkor Temple Complex are less than 15 minutes by car or remork.
The 105 rooms have a unique, contemporary design with bold statement custom designed furniture and hand crafted light fittings alongside artwork exclusively created for the hotel by Bensley Designs. There are interconnecting room options for families. Additionally, 10 villas are set within a separate area offering an exclusive, immersive experience. Each villa is surrounded by two storey high compound walls, ensuring total privacy. They are all lovingly designed with lush tropical gardens, a ten-metre lap pool and an expansive roof terrace. The bar and daybed on the roof are perfect for sundowners and can easily be transformed into a full bed should you wish to sleep out under the stars. Meals can be taken in your villa served by your personal butler or in one of the hotel’s restaurants.
Service at the hotel is exceptional and the staff are always on hand with a bottle of water, ice cream, refreshing cold towels, mosquito spray and anything else you may need to make your stay comfortable. Dining here at least once is recommended as the food is sublime.
We love that by staying here, you support a wide range of responsible tourism initiatives and outreach programs for disadvantaged children.
Children are welcome to stay and there are 2 pools for them to enjoy as well as child friendly menus in the restaurants. However, there is no specific facilities for children and therefore it is arguably suited to older children and teenagers. Please be aware the villas only outer-connect via the gardens and will not accommodate an extra bed.
