Weave through the clamour and colour of Psar Kraoum, the thriving street market on the hotel’s doorstep, and you will be rewarded with your first glimpse of the imposing, palatial architecture of the Memoire Palace Resort & Spa. Guests have a lasting impression of regal grandeur, offering a modern take on Cambodia’s prestigious royal palaces. The welcoming and genuinely charming service you’re afforded here is as memorable as it is delightful.
The spacious interiors boast contemporary style while evoking a sense of imperial splendour from a bygone era. High ceilings and rich purple and gold colours accent the harmonious décor, and the specially curated objets d’art displayed in the hotel’s public spaces, are a nod to Siem Reap’s ancient cultural heritage and its proximity to the Angkor temples. The brightly-hued suites set around the stunning pool, combined with the hotel’s trademark rickshaw bikes and vintage cars, make a truly unique backdrop for photographing your special occasion or holiday snaps.

From the Junior Suites to the Grand Suites, every guest is treated to sumptuous beds, exquisite marble en suite bathrooms and a balcony or patio set up for maximum relaxation with daybeds and cushions. Be reminded of the hotel’s celebrated location by the addition of antiques and works of art that adorn the otherwise perfectly modern design. Rooms are equipped with state-of-the-art LCD smart TVs, high speed wifi and air conditioning. Suites have plush seating areas to sink into, while enjoying a selection from the room service menu, or taking in the tranquil view of the vast swimming pool or finely-manicured gardens. Two-bedroomed Royal Family Suites accommodate family groups, affording everyone the space to truly unwind.
The hotel’s commitment to reducing waste is most evident in the suites, where glass bottles, promptly re-filled on request, are used to supply filtered drinking water instead of plastic bottles. The hotel encourages re-usable water bottles for staff and guests, as part of Cambodia’s Refill Not Landfill campaign. Drinking straws provided here are made from lemongrass – an inventive alternative to plastic.
Elevate yourself to a state of reinvigorated bliss with the spa’s inviting and extensive menu of massages. For those in need of the restorative powers of massage and aromatherapy, let the spa’s professional and knowledgeable team recommend a therapeutic treatment using oils infused with captivating scents, such as lemongrass, coconut, ginger and lemon, to revive the senses. Elegant treatment rooms complement the refreshing experience. Yoga and meditation sessions, and a children’s play room, offer guests further opportunities to unwind and restore their balance.
