Overview

Shinta Mani Angkor is an upmarket boutique hotel in the thriving tourist town of Siem Reap, northwest Cambodia. This sleek, contemporary establishment offers 39 stylish rooms, a tranquil pool, a spa, two bars, and a restaurant all set within leafy tropical gardens. Centrally located in the peaceful French Quarter, yet only a short walk from Siem Reap’s vibrant markets and restaurants and 15 minutes from the renowned World Heritage Site of Angkor Wat, Shinta Mani Angkor offers a chic, urban oasis to travellers at the higher end of the budget spectrum.

Communal spaces within this stylish property include a choice of indoor or alfresco dining at the Kroya Restaurant. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, its cuisine embraces international and Cambodian dishes, including a seven course Khymer tasting menu. Cocktails and tapas can be enjoyed with lovely views of the hotel gardens at the 2nd floor Bensley’s Bar, named after the hotel’s renowned designer, US architect Bill Bensley. There’s a refreshing lap pool with loungers, and an adjacent pool bar serving light snacks and refreshments throughout the day. A selection of massages and beauty treatments are available at the spa.

The bustling markets, shops and restaurants of Siem Reap are a few minutes’ walk away, and include Kandal Village, a recently opened artisan hub of galleries and craft shops selling unique Cambodian jewellery, fashion and furniture. It’s a short walk to the Royal Residence and the charming riverside area, whilst a 15 minute tuk-tuk ride leads to the famed Angkor Wat temple complex.

The accommodation comprises 39 chic bedrooms featuring stylish, minimalist design and contemporary Khymer artwork. Rooms vary in size from spacious ‘superior’ to the larger ‘deluxe’. Each well-appointed unit has king or twin beds, air conditioning, satellite TV, DVD player, Wi-Fi, a writing desk, a minibar, and a generous ensuite bathroom with a rainfall shower. Deluxe rooms have a private balcony with pool or garden views.

Children are warmly welcome at the hotel. A number of larger, ‘deluxe living’ rooms are available, which offer a substantial living area and can accommodate an extra bed, making them ideal for families.

  • I was also just about to email you to thank you and the team for arranging yet again, another wonderful experience.

    Mount Kenya was spectacular and wild - I think I prefer it to Kili in many ways. The entire support team was professional, friendly and all round fantastic in making sure that we were safe, well fed and well looked after. In particular, we would commend Peter the guide as well as Paul one of the porters who doubled-up as his deputy on summit day. Our route was often shrouded in mist and rain that rapidly gathered in the valleys and moorlands, and we were very impressed at how Peter managed to navigate us safely through all of that notwithstanding. In addition, we loved learning about the history of Mount Kenya from him in the evenings. And ofcourse, I was blown away by the lovely birthday surprise at the end complete with balloons and a delicious cake that had journeyed with us from day 1. One thing we might recommend because of the sudden change in weather (it would sometimes get extremely cold and wet) is for the equipment list to be a little bit more detailed in terms of its recommendations e.g. layers to be moisture-wicking, walking boots be waterproof, doubling up on socks to avoid blisters etc.

    El Karama is a beautiful conservancy and the lodge a true labour of love. Great hospitality in a relaxed environment. Delicious, fresh food. We enjoyed the drives, even if we didn't see much wildlife as the heavens opened on us for the last two outings. However, since it was very much geared towards families, I am not sure if I would stay again without kids. That said, I think it was perfect for a 3d/2n stay post mountain, and a much better choice than flying to the masai mara given the limited time we had.

    Our transits were smooth. Samuel the driver was always on time, drove safely and kept the vehicle clean.

    So it was a brilliant experience and one which I certainly will cherish for some time to come. It was great to work with you for a third time, and I certainly hope it won't be the last

  • Thank you, we had an absolute wonderful time, and everything was well-planned and as described. Carla was crying on the day of our departure from Ants Nest, she didn’t want to go home and for it all to end, and when I asked how much longer she would want to stay, she responded “four weeks”

  • We had the most amazing time. It exceeded all my hopes of what the trip would be. The guides, the hotels - everything was of such a wonderful quality. Thank you for organizing everything. I will absolutely recommend Tourdust and use you again.
