Best Western signs first hotel in Cambodia

BANGKOK – Best Western has signed its first hotel in Cambodia – the all-suite Suites And Sweet Resort Angkor.

The agreement heralds the arrival of the Best Western name to Siem Reap – the location of UNESCO’s World Heritage Site of Angkor temple complexes, including the Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom.

Suites And Sweet Resort Angkor enjoys an ideal location, less than a 10-minute drive from both Siem Reap town and the main entrance to the famous Angkor Wat temple complex.

The property offers 18 suites housed in nine villas, each with their own private pool and terrace. Featuring an enchanting Khmer-style design and décor, they are nestled among tropical gardens around an ornamental lake in a picturesque setting similar to a typical Cambodian floating village.

“The addition of the fascinating country of Cambodia to Best Western’s choice of destinations is a proud moment for the chain. The worldwide tourist appeal that Siem Reap holds, together with Best Western’s global networking and extensive worldwide sales & marketing power, is an ideal combination for this well-appointed property in this exotic destination,” said Best Western International’s VP of International Operations for Asia and the Middle East, Glenn de Souza.

Tentatively set to complete its rebranding in Q1 of 2011, the resort offers a restaurant serving Khmer and French cuisine, a bar and a traditional massage service.
