Afternoon Tea at Park Hyatt Siem Reap

Review: Park Hyatt Siem Reap | Understated luxury

Posted on February 24, 2019August 3, 2022 by Fiona Mai

About Part Hyatt Siem Reap

Located right in the heart of Siem Reap, Cambodia, this luxury 5-star hotel boasts 104 sophisticatedly-decorated rooms and suites.

The limited number of guest rooms at Park Hyatt Siem Reap, which makes it almost like a boutique, ensures that it actually lives up to the “Luxury is personal” motto of the Park Hyatt brand.

Official photo of the hotel

The building itself is designed by the renowned architect Bill Bensley, whose work includes a wide range of iconic hotels and resorts such as the Four Seasons Chiang Mai, Siam Bangkok, and J.W.Marriott Phu Quoc.

With a combination of contemporary touches and Khmer inspirations, Park Hyatt Siem Reap stands out like an oasis of tranquility amid this ancient land.

Location: Within walking distance to Siem Reap night market, 8km from Angkor Wat

Price: From US $260 per night at Park King / Park Twin

What I love about Park Hyatt Siem Reap

Delightful breakfast buffet

  • Though they didn’t offer a sumptuous breakfast buffet, everything that was on display was of the highest quality with a concentration on its taste.
  • Apart from the buffet counter, they also have a menu of made-to-order items in Western and Khmer styles. I tried their heavenly egg benedict and a heartful bowl of Khmer rice noodle soup. That was one of my best breakfast buffets ever!
  • The morning ambiance at The Dining Room, where they serve their breakfast buffet, is beyond peaceful! You can even hear birds singing from the trees!

Enchanting afternoon tea moments

What’s a better experience than having afternoon tea on a swing bed?

That was for me not only a cool experience but also something that set this hotel apart from all others that I’d been to.

Stunning tropical pools

“The ground floor lush lap pool is shaded by parasols and cabanas. The first-floor free-form pool is a relaxing oasis with a lagoon design, green tiles and verdant nature.”

Chic hotel design with a cultural touch

Kudos to Bill Bensley, the hotel is designed in such a way that is both sophisticatedly esthetic and culturally inspiring.

While you can find Buddhist touches and Khmer elements all around the hotel, this omnipresence of the local culture feels not at all dominant. In fact, the hotel resembles a “live” exhibition where the past blends with the presence in every detail, from the books chosen to be displayed to the Buddhist statues, each with a unique history behind them. To put it simply, the hotel’s design gently appeals to all those with a refined taste.

Traditional dance performance at dinner

This is nowhere near as well-prepared as the Smile of Angkor show, but still is a great touch to guests’ dining experience.

What could have enhanced my experience at Park Hyatt Siem Reap

  • Adding a specific theme or story to their afternoon tea could have elevated the experience there even more. (For example, the concept of Park Hyatt Saigon’s afternoon tea stems from the (fictional) story of a French lady who keeps a journal of posh experiences that she has in Saigon).

All in all, the luxury experiences I had at Park Hyatt Siem Reap were superb beyond words, especially when we decided to stay here during our honeymoon in Siem Reap! With great eagerness, I would gladly recommend this beautiful property to anyone who visits this ancient Cambodian city.

      What a beautiful hotel! You are absolutely right that the design is a wonderful mix of traditional and modern styles. The afternoon tea on the beds hanging from the ceiling looks delightful. I lived in Vietnam for nine months this year, and am sad to say that I never made it to Siem Reap or even Phnom Penh. I hope to make it to Cambodia someday and will keep the Park Hyatt in mind as an option. Thanks for sharing!

      You can’t really go wrong with a Park Hyatt. Absolutely love their tropical pools, probably where I’d spend most of my time. Also, the breakfast buffet looks great. Afternoon tea on a swing bed, wow!

      That afternoon tea and swimming pool looks absolutely to die for. I visited Siem Reap a few years ago on a backpacking trip but I would absolutely love to return and glam it up a bit more than I did. Lovely hotel!

      I tend to be more of a Marriott customer, and I have yet to stay in a Hyatt. Maybe I should give Hyatt a chance! Thanks for sharing!

      Looks awesome! I’m travelling to Siem Reap next month and already booked a room here for 2 nights. It’s great to know more about the hotel thanks to your detailed post. By the way, did you find the location convenient to catch a tuk tuk tour to the Angkor?

        Hi Yusuf, you can surely ask the hotel concierge to help book a day tour by tuk tuk for you. At the same time, it’s cheaper to walk from the hotel to the night market area and find a tuk tuk driver who can speak English and be your guide. In our case, the tuk tuk driver who drove us from the airport to the hotel offered us his tour, which we agreed to take.

      I didn’t even realize there was a Park Hyatt in Siem Reap! Keeping this in mind in case I find myself in Cambodia again. This looks like an incredibly beautiful hotel
