建筑设计-Amansara RB_2014.pdfVIP

Once the guest villa of King Norodom Sihanouk, Amansara is now a 24-suite retreat situated just 10 minutes from the entrance to Angkor. Imbued with the inviting ambience of a gracious home, the resort is set around an elegant swimming pool in a private garden compound on the outskirts of the bustling town of Siem Reap. Each Amansara suite is provided with its own custom-fitted remork and driver for expeditions into the world-renowned Angkor Archaeological Park ( cover). The Dining Room opens onto a shaded terrace where one can enjoy al fresco dining. On either side, stone-columned corridors lead to the suites. The circular Dining Room with its soaring seven-metre ceiling offers breakfast, lunch and dinner. The house menu features Khmer and international cuisine, and changes daily to include fresh, seasonal produce. The Dining Room also provides a walk-in wine cellar and cheese room, and an informal sitting area where guests can help themselves to home- baked cakes and enjoy drinks from the house bar. Hidden from view behind a six-metre-high wall, the 25-metre lap pool (left) provides guests an additional swimming facility. The main swimming pool (inside front cover ) lies adjacent to the Dining Room. The Library (above) provides an extensive collection of books on Cambodia and Indochina, as well as Internet service, magazines and daily newspapers. It is also the venue for informal lectures when Amansara hosts scholars and other experts on Khmer culture. The Gallery and Boutique ( below) offers a selection of Khmer jewellery, hand-woven silks and local art and photography. The Roof Garden (left), with cushioned seating and low tables, provides a peaceful spot for early evening drinks or dinner from October through to the end of April. It also serves as a venue for cultural performances. Amansara welcomes local dancers and musicians to entertain guests and introduce them to Cambodia’s rich artistic heritage. Saffro
