If you want to explore the temples of Angkor by day and return to somewhere stylish, sociable, and a little playful, Shinta Mani is an excellent place to check into.
Shinta Mani Angkor sits in Siem Reap’s Royal District, a leafy pocket within easy walking distance of the town centre and a short khmer-style tuk tuk ride from the temples of Angkor. The hotel was designed by the famously imaginative architect Bill Bensley, and you can tell. Instead of a generic luxury look, the place is full of bold colours, Khmer-inspired patterns, hand-picked antiques, and creations by local artists. Tropical gardens and two swimming pools soften the look, while the scale remains boutique enough that the atmosphere feels relaxed and personable rather than grand or formal. It’s lively without being loud, stylish without trying too hard, and a superb base for temple hopping.
Why we love Shinta Mani Angkor
-
Bill Bensley’s design gives the hotel real personality, with sumptuous interiors and Cambodian details wherever you look.
-
The location works brilliantly. You’re in Siem Reap’s Royal District, close enough to stroll into town but still surrounded by leafy streets and gardens.
-
The food takes Khmer cooking seriously, particularly at Kroya by Chef Chanrith, where traditional recipes are reworked with a more contemporary approach.
-
Behind the scenes, the Shinta Mani Foundation channels hotel revenue into projects that support local communities and conservation across Cambodia.
Rooms
Accommodation is spread across three distinct areas, each offering a different style of stay. The Pool Villas provide the most exclusive experience, with suites divided between two wings and set within lush tropical gardens. Each villa features generous living space, a private swimming pool and a refined blend of elegant contemporary design with subtle Khmer‑inspired touches, creating a serene and indulgent retreat. The Bayon Wing offers a relaxed courtyard‑style resort atmosphere, centred around a large swimming pool and tropical gardens, with an open‑air design that creates a calm and intimate setting for unwinding. The Angkor Wing delivers an upscale boutique experience with its own lap pool, spa and restaurant. Interiors combine contemporary comfort with Cambodian craft and Bensley’s lively touch. Expect dark wood furniture, handcrafted lamps, colourful textiles, and art inspired by Angkor itself. For a celebration or special occasion, the impressive Pool Villas are well worth a look.

Facilities
Food here has a strong Cambodian identity. Kroya by Chef Chanrith is the star, where classic Khmer dishes are given a thoughtful modern lift without losing their roots. Baitong takes a more relaxed approach, serving breakfast, street-food favourites, and international comfort dishes throughout the day. There are also two pool bars, which tend to become particularly appealing after a long morning climbing temple steps in the Cambodian heat.
Kroya by Chef Chanrith
An elegant dining room where Cambodian flavours take centre stage, with tasting menus and beautifully plated dishes served in a calm, intimate setting.
Baitong
A breezy, poolside restaurant that keeps things easy with generous breakfasts, casual lunches, and relaxed evening meals. It’s a relaxing atmosphere for sampling Asian street food specialties as well as international favorites like burgers, sandwiches, and salads.
Pool Bars
Two laid-back poolside spots for fresh juices, light snacks, and cocktails.
What's Included
Breakfast at Kroya by Chef Chanrith or Baitong Restaurant
The Khmer Tonics Spa focuses on traditional healing rituals and treatments made with natural ingredients, alongside massages, scrubs, and facials inspired by Cambodian wellness traditions. Two swimming pools sit among the gardens, and there is also a gym for anyone keen to balance temple exploring with a little strength and cardio.
Angkor Archeological Park is the main event, and the hotel makes exploring easy. The temples are about a 10-minute drive away. Back at the hotel, you can take cooking classes, browse the small art gallery and relax by the pool.
Community work is a central part of the hotel’s story. Shinta Mani began life as a hospitality training school for disadvantaged Cambodians, and that initiative evolved into the Shinta Mani Foundation. Today, part of the hotel’s revenue supports projects that focus on education, healthcare, clean water, and environmental protection across Cambodia.
This works well for families who want a stylish base rather than a full resort setup. Angkor Deluxe rooms can take an additional bed, and interconnecting rooms are available, making it easy to spread out while still staying close together.
