THE HOTEL
Designed by architect Bill Bensley, Hôtel de la Paix is a wonderfully chic and stylish hotel - blending contemporary design with authentic Cambodian touches.  The hotel describes itself as designed to appeal to discerning travellers, and achieves that aim effortlessly.

Set around an inner courtyard, where a Boddhi tree is the focal point, the rooms are spacious and calming - each an oasis of cool.  Beautifully decorated in pure white, offset by wooden detailing and modern art, they are packed with luxurious touches, like pre-loaded iPods and sumptuous terrazzo baths.

The public areas too are stylish to a fault, with clean lines and mood lighting offering a counterpoint to the hotel's fabulous collection of art.
