Marriott International has opened its first Courtyard by Marriott in Cambodia with the debut of Courtyard by Marriott Siem Reap.

This represents Marriott International’s first hotel in Cambodia, with a second hotel to follow when Courtyard Phnom Penh opens in the capital city later this year.

The brand’s flagship in Cambodia will feature modern Khmer architectural design, an innovative lobby space and contemporary room design, enabling guests to pursue both their personal and professional passions whilst visiting the seat of the ancient Khmer kingdom.

“We are excited to introduce the Courtyard brand experience to Cambodia. This opening marks the third Courtyard Resort in Asia Pacific, adding on to the growth story of Marriott International’s largest brand by distribution,” said Mike Fulkerson, Vice President, Brand & Marketing Asia Pacific, Marriott International.

“The resort is a testament to the confidence we have in this stunning destination and our deep commitment to serving the burgeoning market of Cambodia.”

The resort’s 233 contemporary guestrooms and suites are thoughtfully designed for good nights and good days, combining stylish comfort with functionality. Modern furniture and amenities, a bathroom with a separate walk-in shower, 43-inch flat screen television, as well as private balconies with views of the pool, city or gardens, make this a place that inspires creativity and enables our guests to pursue their passions, whether traveling for business or leisure.

The all-day-dining restaurant Lok Lak invites guests to experience a fusion of modern cuisine and authentic Khmer flavors brought to life by pristine local, seasonal and sustainable produce. Lok Lak offers a “market to table” menu, carefully crafted using locally sourced and organic produce and can be tailored to any event or dietary need. Upper Deck, a stunning rooftop bar, is surrounded by breathtaking, panoramic views of Angkor Wat on the horizon and brilliant sunsets to the West, whilst providing a wide range of exotic cocktails and an exquisite small plate menu.

Meanwhile, QUAN Spa invites weary travelers into a haven of relaxation, as does the lure of a refreshing dip in the outdoor saltwater pool. The resort also has a fully equipped fitness center, Kids Club, recreation room and retail outlet.

Courtyard by Marriott Siem Reap Resort is the ideal destination for meetings and events. Always looking ahead, the spaces, amenities and technology faultlessly account for emerging trends and the needs of next-gen travelers. The light and elegant 410m2 Grand Room and five functional meeting rooms have been designed to host the most inspiring business events, meetings and celebrations.

Courtyard by Marriott Siem Reap Resort is located in Siem Reap, a bustling cultural haven of markets, artisans and museums. The hotel is superbly positioned for guests to pursue their personal and professional passions – located just a 20-minute drive to Siem Reap International Airport. The resort also offers guests a gateway to the UNESCO heritage site of Angkor Wat, only 15 minutes away; is only a 5-minute walk to the lively bars, cocktail lounges, international restaurants and vibrant clubs of Pub Street; and is located near an 18-hole golf course designed by Nick Faldo.

“Through our décor and innovative amenities, we are able to provide our guests with tranquility and comfort whilst visiting Siem Reap on a meaningful journey of exploration,” said Ashley Lai, General Manager, Courtyard by Marriott Siem Reap Resort. “Our team looks forward to welcoming guests from all over the globe to experience the Cambodian hospitality in unparalleled surroundings.”

Courtyard continues to expand into Cambodia with the Courtyard by Marriott Phnom Penh to open in the bustling capital later this year.
