Jaya House River Park, Cambodia Hotel

Cambodia

The temples of Angkor Wat are a historic sight to behold, their centuries-old, cone-tiered towers unmissable amid dense tropical forest. Just a six-minute tuk-tuk ride south lies locally owned Jaya House River Park Hotel in Siem Reap City – Cambodia’s cultural hub – and this zen, boutique- minded pad makes an ideal base. Art deco motifs inspired by Cambodian Khmer culture permeate the interiors and all 36 rooms have access to either tropical garden and plunge pool or a balcony with far-reaching jungle views. Contributing to local sustainability initiatives, Jaya House is Cambodia’s first single-use-plastic- free hotel and supports community- led projects, as well as offering educational drives for children. Leaving you free to relax at the spa or by the side of either of the two pools and sip lemongrass martinis at the rooftop bar.

Doubles from £230.
