Hotel information
Sofitel Angkor Phokeethra Golf & Spa Resort truly understands what makes a heavenly holiday to Siem Reap, on just about every level.
The low-lying complex for example – although large – radiates a natural zen-like aura throughout, from the regal lobby to tranquil lily ponds found amongst expertly tendered gardens; it is very much understood here that your wellbeing is directly influenced by your idyllic surrounds, while away. As such, the pool area is of equal standing. Gently curving with an island in the middle housing loungers and hammocks, surrounded by palms; order a tasty drink from the poolside bar or lie back and let it come to you, usually arriving on a bicycle so that prompt delivery is as good as ensured!
For those who wish to practice their swing in the exotic surrounds of rural Cambodia, the hotel’s very own 18-hole Siem Reap golf course can be found close to the hotel, with a plethora of world-class holes, lagoons and bunkers that will challenge even the most accomplished player. Further activities come aplenty here, with excursions out to the surrounding temples and sites easily arranged, plus a gym and kids’ club back onsite at Sofitel Angkor. For something altogether more serene, however, head to the spa where a selection of massages, traditional treatments, a steam room, sauna and bubbling Jacuzzis surrounded by native greenery are sure to leave you feeling totally reinvigorated each day. A sumptuous addition to any stay, though one that this luxury Siem Reap resort was just made for.
Of course, visiting Siem Reap will not be complete without a trip to Angkor Archaeological Park and the temples within. Thankfully, it is just a few minutes from the resort, so there is no need to squeeze everything into one single excursion if looking to really explore this iconic area of Cambodia in comfort. Your cultural journey will indeed continue upon returning to Sofitel Angkor, as the artworks, ornaments, red-topped buildings and carved wooden furnishings are unmistakeably Khmer by design. And the same can be said when evening comes as while dining at The Citadel Restaurant, several times a week you will be enthralled by traditional dancers as you feast on European-inspired and Cambodian cuisine; marvellous.
Room Options
Mirroring the opulent French colonial influences that can be seen throughout Siem Reap yet also featuring furnishings, fabrics and artwork that is all typically Cambodian, guestrooms at Sofitel Angkor ooze a tangible sense of place, and are much-the-better for it. They feel like a calming refuge thanks to both the room itself and wider surrounds, yet are also decked out with their share of modern amenities and in-room comforts. These include a furnished terrace or patio in nearly all categories, king-size or twin beds (including signature Sofitel MyBed mattresses), a separate bathtub and rain shower, L'Occitane toiletries, Wi-Fi, air-conditioning and plenty more besides.
Superior Room
Polished, dark wood flooring is home to classic furniture and Khmer art in the relatively modest, though comfortable Superior Room. Scenes of either the Lotus pond or pool will greet you outside and this category is available with either a king bed or twin setup.
Luxury Room
Lovely views of the hotel’s beautiful gardens are a pleasant way to start or end the day, best savoured with a cup of coffee on your furnished terrace in the morning, or perhaps a glass of wine before bed. Slightly larger than the Superior Room, the Luxury Room options are ideal for those who require just a little bit more space, also available in king-bed or twin setup.
Luxury Room Club Millesime Access
Matching the 46sq m floorplan of all in the Luxury Room category, this particular guestroom also comes with exclusive access to Club Millesime, the hotel’s private lounge bar, located beside the pond and offering everything from champagne breakfasts to a cocktail hour come evening.
Prestige Suite, Superior Garden View
Revel in superb views across the extensive gardens from one of your two separate balconies, with the Prestige Suite. Elegant furniture throughout the 90sq m room creates a sophisticated ambience, as does the lounge area and one or two extras such as an espresso machine and Hermes toiletries. Make the most of your time here and take advantage of the late checkout, available for Sofitel’s Prestige Suite guests.Facilities/Amenities
Sofitel Angkor Phokeethra Golf & Spa Resort is an expansive property, meaning it has enough room for a menu of facilities worthy of its five-star credentials.

Between day trips treat yourself to some room service, make the most of a compact yet well-equipped gym, perhaps let little ones enjoy the kids’ club or book a slot at the hotel’s own golf course; all available at Sofitel Angkor.
