Shinta Mani
The Shinta Mani Angkor (small boutique) and Shinta Mani Shack are located over the road from each other, within easy reach of the centre hive of activity of Siem Reap. Both are beautifully designed and offer excellent service which we have experienced for ourselves. We can personally vouch for the high standards of accommodation and personal, friendly service.
Designed in eye-catching black and white stripes, the hotels design blends a modern twist on the traditional Cambodian art and are the brain child and infamous hotel designer Ben Bensley and the surroundings blend well into their environment and offer a stylish take on Cambodian culture.
Excerpt from Robbie Sinclair’s visit to Shinta Mani Angkor, December 2018…
Our driver picked us up and whisked us off to the Shinta Mani Angkor hotel (only 15 minutes from the airport). As we pulled up the street towards the building I knew I had made the right choice. A plethora of star shaped lanterns in glowing red adorned the tree lined street. The door was opened and we were greeted with a cold lemongrass infused towel and a beaming smile. I loved this hotel instantly, Bill Bensley’s quirky black and white striped theme ran throughout every floor and wall and I was blown away by his attention to detail. It’s easy to see why he is one of the world’s most renowned hotel designers. Bowls and vases are filled with water lillies that had been skillfully twisted and folded into pretty silhouettes in an origami fashion. The hotel manager tells me that they do their floral arrangements on site and points to a young woman in the corner. She sat amongst baskets of flora and fauna and I was hypnotised by her nimble fingers as she swiftly tucks and flicks water lily petals into shape.
We are guided passed an exhibition of figurative sculptures inspired by the hotel’s unique aesthetics. We walk by a statement, yet relaxing pool area and a stylised bar and head up the stairs to our suite. With only 18 rooms, Shinta Mani Angkor has a very exclusive feel and its staff are perfectly trained and warm.
