Concierge.com's insider take:
What's old is new again. La Paix, as it's locally known, originally opened in 1957. In 2005, the landmark hotel reopened after a complete renovation—as in, they tore it down. Rebuilt in Khmer palace style, there's a large enclosed tropical garden and a swimming pool. Even the rooms are princely in size and come with every modern convenience. The modern spa focuses on total well-being and offers meditation and tai chi along with aromatherapy and facials. Meric, the in-house restaurant, serves both Khmer and Western fare.
From the editors of Condé Nast Traveler:
Architecturally inspired by the surrounding 1960s gems that survived the Khmer Rouge regime, the 107-room Hôtel de la Paix encourages its guests to connect with the community through activities such as visiting a local orphanage. The hotel, however, is no NGO. Beds are cradle-soft, the spa overlooks a water garden, and the in-house Arts Lounge is generating buzz for its live performances and exhibitions. The restaurant Meric's two chefs—a New Zealander and a Frenchman who leads morning market tours for his Khmer menu—are committed to training underprivileged Cambodian youth; their star students chop and serve.—2006 Hot ListWhen to go: January through March are coolest.
