The wonderful building occupied by the Angkor Spirit Palace was built in 1988 as a cultural centre to teach aspiring artists the gentle but exacting art of traditional Apsara dancing.
The building is unique and displays many elements of traditional Khmer architecture.
The owner/operators of this new hotel - Mr Khim Chamroeun and Mrs Khim Chandany - saw the potential to use this wonderful building as a hotel and to share it with visitors to Siem Reap.
The unique design and structure was maintained but they carefully converted the interior into a first-class hotel with modern amenities. Then they added an external bar with traditionally thatched roof and a salt-water pool.
Angkor Spirit Palace is located away from the direct noise and bustle of the city but just a short drive from the airport (20-minutes), Angkor Wat (20-minutes) and the centre of Siem Reap (10-minutes).
If you are looking for a unique, peaceful hotel with class at a competitive and affordable room rate, conveniently located a few minute's drive from all the facilities in Siem Reap in a building you can't resist photographing...
