La Villa

Battambang


For a taste of the colonial era, stay at this French-era villa renovated in vintage 1930s style. It's one of the most romantic boutique hotels in Cambodia. Gauzy mosquito nets drape over four-poster beds, original tilework graces the floors and art deco features adorn every corner, creating an old-world ambience that is hard to beat.
