Hotel de la Paix Officially Opens
SIEM REAP, Cambodia, August 1, 2005. H^otel de la Paix, which sets the standards for chic design, opened its doors in Siem Reap with a soft launch on 25 July, 2005. A member of Small Luxury Hotels, H^otel de la Paix brings a totally unique guest experience to Cambodia.
Created by internationally-acclaimed designer Bill Bensley, the five-star boutique hotel offers 107 fashionable rooms and suites. The hotel, located only six kilometres from the magnificent UNESCO-world heritage site of Angkor, is set around an inner courtyard of gardens and Khmer-style water features. The design is complemented by Khmer influences that embrace the future while respecting the past.
H^otel de la Paix offers guests a unique lifestyle experience with hi-tech amenities. Room facilities include state-of-the-art i-Pods with music and historical narrative which are available for outside excursions. DVD players are provided in all 23 suites.
Mr. Joe Polito, General Manager of H^otel de la Paix, is proud to be part of this new venture: "H^otel de la Paix brings a fresh new approach to the hotel industry, with world-class facilities and contemporary designs."
The hotel also encourages guests to support the local community with sponsorships for education, food supplies and support for NGO programmes in Cambodia. "We are proud as an international hotel to be supporting the needs of the local community," Mr. Polito said.
Mr. Polito has led some of Asia's most prestigious boutique resorts including the new Rajasthani Palace of Udaivilas, an Oberoi hotel in India, and The Oberoi, Lombok, Indonesia. Under his tenure as GM, his hotels have received accolades from 'Conde Nast' and 'Travel and Leisure' magazines as being among the world's leading hotels.
At H^otel de la Paix's Spa Indochine, guests can indulge in soothing treatments in one of the five individual therapy rooms or in the luxury of a private, open-air Spa suite. The hotel also provides a library with an array of cultural books, a wine cellar with world-class wines, and two restaurants with eclectic fare ranging from seasonally-inspired Khmer cuisine to international dishes.
To celebrate H^otel de la Paix's launch, an exclusive offer of three nights for the price of two is available until 31 October, 2005. A stay in a Deluxe Room, which would normally cost US$300 per night, is now available for US$165 per night including breakfast for 2 persons.
