The ultra-stylish Amansara Resort was designed by French architect Laurent Mondet in 1962 as a guest residence for King Sihanouk. Now favoured by the A-list and recipient of many awards, this boutique hotel is without question the best in town. Featuring 24 uber-cool suites, the facilities in this noble retreat include two beautiful pools, a library, spa and relaxing roof garden as well as a circular restaurant serving a mixture of Khmer and international cuisine. The open-plan suites, half of which have their own private plunge pool, feature floor to ceiling glass doors that open onto private courtyards with cushioned banquettes.
