Hyatt Hotels has announced the official opening of Park Hyatt Siem
Reap, the fourteenth Hyatt property in the south-east Asia region and
the first Hyatt hotel in Cambodia.
Formerly known as Hotel De La Paix, one of Cambodia’s top-rated
hotels, the property is reopening under the Park Hyatt brand following a
14-month top-to-bottom renovation by award-winning interior designer
Bill Bensley.
Home to the renowned 12th century ruins of Angkor Wat, Siem Reap has
quickly emerged as one of Asia’s top new destinations for culture and
leisure.
With its close proximity to the UNESCO world heritage site and the
destination’s recent growth, Park Hyatt Siem Reap creates a new standard
for luxury hotels, offering an enriching, sophisticated and authentic
style of service for a growing number of international visitors to the
area.
“We are delighted to be opening the first Hyatt hotel in Cambodia and
the first Park Hyatt in the Southeast Asia region, signifying our
ongoing commitment to expansion in sought-after destinations where we
know our guests are travelling,” said Larry Tchou, group president, Asia
Pacific, Hyatt Hotels.
“We believe that Park Hyatt Siem Reap will pave the way for a new
standard of luxury and brand loyalty in south-east Asia, and we are
excited to offer both leisure and business travellers rare and unique
experiences during their stay with us.”
Located in the heart of downtown Siem Reap, guests will find easy
access to the town’s largest old market, several night markets, and the
bustling and eclectic restaurant and shopping district.
“We have been eagerly anticipating the opening of this stunning new
property and we are excited to welcome both local and international
guests to experience authentic Cambodian hospitality and culture,” said
Sholto Smith, general manager, Park Hyatt Siem Reap.
“We also hope to play a central role in the growth and economic
development of this fantastic destination, especially through our recent
collaboration with Life & Hope Association where we will help
provide sewing skills training to women and encourage them to start
their own businesses.
“As Hyatt continues to place a strong emphasis on local communities,
we are dedicated to the positive growth of Siem Reap and finding new and
unique ways to help the local community here thrive.”

Why, Why, Why, so far, Mr Sam Rainsy has not hit back to this incendiary article that could damage his international image?
As a renowned politician, he should have an effective communication teamwork to promote him and his party, and retort quickly to the press.
Take Sihanouk as a model and see how he efficiently reacted to the press that criticised him.

During the campaigning for yesterday’s election, much attention was given to the anti-Vietnamese rhetoric of opposition leader Sam Rainsy and his deputy Kem Sokha.
They both spewed equally shocking racist sentiments, using the expletive term “yuon” to refer to Vietnamese people and even alleging that the Tuol Sleng torture centre never existed but was invented by Vietnam.
Presumably, then, the conviction of Duch, the centre’s commander, and the cases now being investigated by the United Nations tribunal, are all without foundation.
Really, it defies comprehension.
Prime Minister Hun Sen has many faults, from blatant nepotism to media coercion to crudely threatening that if he lost civil war would result.
But he has not descended to spouting the kind of racist bile that issued from Rainsy and his team and which seems to be a key part of their party’s ideology.
Yes, the opposition has been treated unfairly, but that is hardly unusual in this region... (continuation)
