Hotel de la Paix has won acclaim from one of the world’s most
influential design magazines, Architectural Digest, for the subtle
splendor of its architectural, interior and landscape design. It’s
an innovative design concept created by internationally acclaimed
architect Bill Bensley that is being called "serenity chic".
The 7-page feature in the magazine’s August issue pays tribute to
the dramatic flourishes and intimate scale of the 5-star boutique
hotel. Hotel de la Paix was one of only three hotels selected from
around the globe for the travel section in a special "Exotic" issue
of the global magazine.
"We’re elated not just for our hotel and dedicated staff, but for
Siem Reap and the Cambodian travel industry in general," said Mr
Joseph Polito, the General Manager of Hotel de la Paix. "This is a
milestone for the country’s tourism industry. Siam Reap is attaining
a unique status at the very pinnacle of the market. It’s becoming
one of the world’s most entrancing and stylish destinations."
Architectural Digest praises the design team for their inspiring
blend of art deco and Khmer grace, sandstone and steel, lauding the
hotel’s temple-like entrance, thoughtful arts lounge, lush courtyard
and its hip yet opulent suites.
"Hotel de la Paix is a complement to Angkor Wat, and that’s what
our guests experience as soon as they enter," Mr Polito explained,
"We’re just minutes away from some of the world’s most majestic
temples and we have built our success on being part of that
experience."
The Hotel de la Paix experience is drawing a new wave
of tourists to the ancient Khmer capital. The property is owned by
Bangkok’s trend-setting Bed Management Company (BMC), the people
also behind the popular
Bed Supper Club in Bangkok, the 107-room
Hotel de la Paix and its sister hotel, the 18-room
Shinta Mani Hotel. |
