    10 Best Boutique Hotels in Cambodia

    Cambodia's boutique hotel scene has exploded — from converted colonial mansions to contemporary Khmer-inspired design hotels. These properties offer personality, character, and often spectacular value compared to similar quality elsewhere in Asia.

    What are the best boutique hotels in Cambodia?

    Top picks: Knai Bang Chatt (Kep, $150+), Phum Baitang (Siem Reap, $200+), The Plantation (Phnom Penh, $80+), and Maads (Siem Reap, $60+). Cambodia offers boutique luxury at 30–50% less than equivalent properties in Thailand or Bali.

    #2

    Phum Baitang

    Rice Paddy Resort
    Siem Reap

    A "village in the city" — stilted wooden villas surrounded by lush rice paddies, just minutes from Angkor. Private pools, exceptional spa, and Khmer fine dining.

    #3

    #5

    Maads

    Intimate & Personal
