City of Culture &Tourism (Hotel Zone)

The City of Culture and Tourism of Angkor is the territory next to the Angkor Park reserved for hotels and other leisure facilities. The aim for the creation of this zone is to provide a high-quality development area for investors, while reducing the growth of hotels in Siemreap City. The Department of Urbanization and Development in Siemreap Angkor Region plans to attract investors to the Hotel Zone by providing appropriate infrastructure, facilities and landscaping.

In the near future, the Hotel Zone will develop next to the Archaeological Park and be located close to the main roads to keep traffic away from the town while also lightening the traffic in the circuits. This ambitious project plans the building, on a 1,000 hectares zone, of an accommodation area comprising leisure facilities and luxury and economy-class hotels with capacities of over 60 rooms. Respecting Khmer architectural traditions, mixing of structures and vegetation, will be a primary concern. Small and medium dimension accommodation will remain in the town.



This Hotel Zone will enable the national authorities to realise, in partnership with the private sector and international hotel investors, a high-quality development in a vast reforestation area, where buildings will integrate harmoniously into the natural environment. This zone to the northeast of Siemreap is placed under the supervision of APSARA Authority, which will be responsible for the management and conservation of the site, including the prevention of all further occupation, development and commercialization of said lands except for the purposes described above.
