Hotel Feature: Hotel de la Paix, Siem Reap

Originally built in 1955, the de la Paix survived the troubles of the last 50 years but not the bulldozers - and risen from the ashes of the down-at-heel old hotel, this absolutely astonishing new hotel is truly jaw-dropping. Designed throughout throughout by acclaimed American designer Bill Bensley, the Hotel de la Paix is the ultimate in chic, modern, art-deco inspired luxury and would not look out of place on Fifth Avenue, Park Lane or Avenue George Foch.
