Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

The Victoria expands its empire of fine Indochine hotels (mostly in Vietnam) to Cambodia. Victoria Angkor is a tasteful replica of a French colonial-era hotel, but with all of the amenities and functionality of a modern resort. Public spaces are done in earth tones, rattan and wood accents, and art deco floor tiles in mustard yellow tones. A large central atrium with period-piece elevator and towering courtyard staircase greets the visitor to this downtown campus, just a stone's throw from the Raffles . The central pool is a private oasis surrounded by a mini jungle, with massage salas nestled in the flora. Rooms are large, luxurious, and decorated with retro oil paintings of peaceful jungle scenes and framed photographs of everyday life in Siem Reap. Floors are wood with a border of fine tile that matches luxurious woven bedspreads. All rooms have balconies. Colonial suites have individual themes and the best ones are the corner suites with large, covered outdoor balconies. I liked the Governor suite, with its stylish raw silk bedspreads and subtle décor (the Ming and Maharajah suites are flashier). Fine dining at their Le Bistrot is tops
