Amansara, as in Amanresort? The one and only. Adrian Zecha's ultra-deluxe chain that invented the oft-imitated but rarely paralleled concept of boutique hotels, has spawned another offshoot.
Where this time? Their 13th resort - unlucky for some but lucky for luxury-lovers - is in Cambodia's historical hub, Siem Reap.
Of Angkor Wat, World Heritage Site fame? Absolutely. Only 20 minutes from the legendary 12th-century sandstone temples, the hotel has been conceived as a base to visit Angkor Wat (far right), Bayon, Ta Phrom and the hundred or so other awe-inspiring ruins scattered in the area. The library is stocked with reference books on the sacred temples and Khmer history.
Is the hotel as historic as the temples? No, but it does date back to 1962. Formerly known as Villa Princiere, the hotel was the royal holiday home of King Norodom Sihanouk, built to host state visits by foreign dignitaries.
Anyone we might have heard of? Former French president Charles de Gaulle and former US first lady Jacqueline Kennedy have languished by the pool. And Peter O'Toole stayed there while filming Lord Jim around the ancient remains.
And now? Its laid-back manager Toby Anderson is tight-lipped when it comes to naming names, but admits to having already hosted a number of international celebrities since opening a few weeks ago. Privacy is priority - the inconspicuous nameplate at the entrance is written only in Khmer and the solid metal gate is guarded night and day.
