Pacific Hotel & Spa is an upscale property that sits along the National Road leading from Cambodia to Thailand. The hotel is closer to the airport than it is to the center of Siem Reap, but a thrice-daily free shuttle to take guests downtown. The 236 classic rooms feature wood floors and modern Khmer decor, along with free breakfast and Wi-Fi. The hotel has a large swimming pool with a hot tub and kids' section, and there's a large fitness center and spa. Additional features include a restaurant, two bars, and live music in the evening. Unfortunately, the hotel is often crowded with tour groups and there's little to do in the immediate area. The Victoria Angkor Resort & Spa offers the same perks, but a better location closer to town.

The Shinta Mani Resort is a unique property, which along with its sister property across the street, is one of the finest hotels in Cambodia. The medium-sized boutique hotel, designed by renowned architect Bill Bensley, has 62 rooms, all of which feature custom-made iron beds and handcrafted lights, plus rainfall showers and garden terraces to go with flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi. The hotel is located on a quiet street in central Siem Reap, a 10-minute walk from Pub Street and the Old Market, and there is easy access to Angkor Wat and the airport, both a 15-minute drive away. The resort features a large garden swimming pool, and has the Bai Tong Restaurant and Royal Lounge for drinking and dining. Rates are high, and there's no fitness center, but it's still a great luxury pick.
