Glaring through is all the recent history of Cambodia from this complex built in 1962 as a
guesthouse for the new Cambodian state, only having recently become independent. It
was called the Villa Princiére and was commissioned by Prince Norodom Sihanouk who
hosted among others Jacqueline Kennedy and presidents Tito and Charles de Gaulle.
Straight lines, high ceiling, glass wall are united by cement covered by plaster and bare
stones. The suites are minimalist, bright, ethereal with ample surfaces in wood. The
dimensions are generous and the cuisine superb, above all the Khmer fare. Amansara is
a resort that originated as a base for the excursions to the Temple of Angkor. The elegant
minimalist spa ofers a limited menu of treatments in an impressive ambience of great
fascination. In perfect tune with the rest of the resort.
