Park Hyatt Opens in Siem Reap

The Park Hyatt Siem Reap, the fourteenth Hyatt property in the Southeast Asia region and the first Hyatt hotel in Cambodia, has opened.

Formerly known as Hotel De La Paix, the property is reopening under the Park Hyatt brand following a 14-month top-to-bottom renovation by interior designer Bill Bensley.

Located in the heart of downtown Siem Reap, guests will find easy access to the town’s largest old market, several night markets, and the bustling and eclectic restaurant and shopping district.

“We have been eagerly anticipating the opening of this stunning new property and we are excited to welcome both local and international guests to experience authentic Cambodian hospitality and culture,” said Sholto Smith, general manager, Park Hyatt Siem Reap. “We also hope to play a central role in the growth and economic development of this fantastic destination, especially through our recent collaboration with Life & Hope Association (LHA) where we will help provide sewing skills training to women and encourage them to start their own businesses. As Hyatt continues to place a strong emphasis on local communities, we are dedicated to the positive growth of Siem Reap and finding new and unique ways to help the local community here thrive.”

Park Hyatt Siem Reap features 108 guestrooms, including 13 suites, four of which showcase private plunge pools.

The Spa at Park Hyatt Siem Reap covers 242 square-meters (2,615 square feet) and features a 24-hour fitness center, two swimming pools, and a multi-level treatment facility.

The lap pool can be found on the ground floor surrounded by lush gardens, and directly above on the first floor is the free-form swimming pool with an infinity edge, giant trees and green tiles, which mimic a Southeast Asian lagoon.

The spa has six treatment rooms, a steam room and a rooftop relaxation space for yoga or foot massages.
