Description
The name Amansara
derives from the twinning of the word aman (Sanskrit for peace)
and apsara (the heavenly nymphs of ancient Hindu texts who
emerged from the primordial churning of the oceans with the
power to change their form at will and to bestow luck on those
they favoured). The resort is located in Siem Reap, the cultural
capital of Cambodia.
The enclave was
once the guest villa of King Norodom Sihanouk. It has been
transformed into a 24-suite retreat that provides an ideal base
for exploring the temples of Angkor and the sophisticated
culture of the Khmer civilisation. The Amansara Hotel has the
inviting ambience of a gracious home and is set in a priv ate
garden compound with mature, shade trees.
Amansara is set
in its own established gardens and entry is via a drive that
leads to the porte-cochere that opens to a circular reception. A
covered walkway leads to a courtyard that contains the swimming
pool with sun-beds and a lounging alcove. Adjacent to this is
the Dining Room with its high ceiling and garden outlook. The
Library is nearby and provides a variety of books, magazines,
newspaper and audio CDs. A small retail gallery offers a range
of locally produced handicrafts. Beyond the swimming pool is a
grassed courtyard around which most of the Aman suites are
located.
Located close to
the Dining Room is the Library that pro vides
a range of coffee table books, travel guides, novels, magazines
and daily newspapers. Also on offer are a range of audio CDs,
board games and a comprehensive collection of reference books on
the Angkor temples and Khmer civilisation. Seating is provided
on an extensive banquette or at reading tables and chairs. The
Library is also fitted with a home theatre system that can be
used for viewing audio-visual presentations and documentaries.
