Expansive French-inspired elegance
VERIFIED LUXURY
We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience goes beyond how your surroundings look — how your visit makes you feel is what you will remember most.
We started in 1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.
Five-Star
These properties deliver an outstanding experience and consistently offer a highly customized level of service.
Four-Star
These are exceptional properties, offering high levels of service and quality of facility to match.
Recommended
These are excellent properties with consistently good service and facilities.
Soon To Be Rated
As our highly trained, incognito inspectors work to assess properties, our editors check them out ahead of time and provide a sneak preview of what to expect.
Opened in 2000, Sofitel
Angkor Phokeethra Golf & Spa Resort is a picturesque property on the
northern outskirts of Siem
Reap. With 238 rooms and suites set among low-rise, colonial-style
buildings and palm-filled gardens, anchored by a meandering lagoon pool and
lily-pad-covered ponds, it's a veritable oasis from the dusty streets outside.
A wonderful base
from which to explore Angkor Wat, just a 10-minute drive directly north on the
Rue Charles de Gaulle, the hotel kickstarts your day with a sumptuous buffet of
Western breakfast classics, local fresh fruits and a range of noodles and dim
sum at The Citadel restaurant that’s a must before heading north to Angkor or
south into the city for a morning's excursion.
After returning to
the hotel, splash in the largest free-form pool in Cambodia and order a
cocktail from the poolside Serpent Bar; or drive west to play a round on the
emerald greens of the 18-hole Phokeethra Country Club. Then as the sun sets, settle
into a lakeside seat at Mouhot's Dream, where superlative French dishes — like
Brittany cod with champagne, or lobster bisque risotto — are served atop white
linen by candlelight, a suitably romantic ode to the legend of Henri Mouhot,
the famous 19th-century French explorer who “discovered” the ruins of Angkor.
