The King's
Guesthouse

A 1960s royal guesthouse turned intimate resort, minutes from the temples of Angkor.

Overview

Angkor,
Close By

Built originally as King Sihanouk's personal guesthouse, Amansara retains its mid-century modernist character.

Amansara occupies a 1960s modernist villa complex built as the private guesthouse of King Norodom Sihanouk, a short drive from the temples of Angkor. Suites are arranged around private courtyards in the original architectural style, largely untouched since the building's royal-era design. The resort's private guides and small scale allow for early, uncrowded access to Angkor Wat and the wider temple complex, a rare privilege given the site's usual crowds.
