Bensley Collection – Shinta Mani

Siem Reap, Cambodia

From $660 per night

Bensley Collection Siem Reap is truly Bill’s ideal Cambodian experience.

Located in the cultural heart of Siem Reap just 20 mins from the airport and UNESCO World Heritage site of Angkor Wat, Bill Bensley has designed these residences as he likes to live himself – being surrounded by lush gardens which are completely private.

On arrival at Siem Reap’s International airport, guests are fast tracked through immigration and whisked away to the secluded entrance of the Villas. Bensley guests have access to the restaurants, bars, Khmer Tonics Spa and facilities in the adjacent Shinta Mani Hotels, or can enjoy personal service from any outlets in their villa. The Bensley Collection Butlers Lounge and Compound is for the exclusive use of its guests. Then there’s the Bensley Butlers - an elite group of hand-selected hospitality professionals that live and breathe the guests’ experience – there when they are needed and invisible when they are not! If you want petals scattered for a romantic outdoor bath, a rooftop or poolside BBQ, or to set up the sky bed so you can sleep under the stars in your oversize rooftop daybed, just call them.

Ten exquisitely designed villas with tropical landscaped gardens, personal pool, rooftop lounges, semi-outdoor shower, outdoor bathtub and Bensley Butlers. Each exquisite villa has 156 sqm of space across two pavilions including a floor to ceiling glassed
bathroom with views over the garden and the outdoor bath. Inside the living space, over-size three-dimensional murals have been carved to portray the rippling folds of Jayavarman’s robe – one of the Khmer Kings who reigned from 1181-1218 and was known for his powerful, pioneering spirit - the perfect complement to such incredible surroundings.

Regenerative Impact

Shinta Mani opened the Shinta Mani Hotel and Institute of Hospitality
on the grounds of Shinta Mani Angkor
Since 2004, more than 245 Khmer students have graduated from the School and still enjoy employment in the immediate township and local countryside.
Founded by Mr. Sokoun Chanpreda, a Cambodian businessman who returned from overseas to invest in the future of his country, Shinta Mani Foundation is guided by his philosophy of Open Doors, Open Hearts.
Shinta Mani’s community activities began in 2004 with the opening of the Shinta Mani Hotel and Institute of Hospitality on the grounds of Shinta Mani Angkor. This innovative program, which received international recognition for its efforts, trained underprivileged Cambodians in aspects of world-class hotel operations on a free of charge basis-providing them the skills to secure employment and a brighter future.
Since 2004, more than 245 Khmer students have graduated from the School and still enjoy employment in the immediate township and local countryside.
This successful blending of non-profit work alongside the hotel’s award-winning for-profit operations attracted such interest and support that by 2006; Shinta Mani began to explore other ways to give back to the community. They
did this by engaging in community development programs targeting rural families.
Shinta Mani sought to empower these families through basic assistance in education and livelihood assistance
such as home building, water wells and toilets. These efforts resulted in meaningful change in the lives of
individual families and for the community.
In 2011, all such community projects were unified under the Shinta Mani Foundation. The Foundation operates today in the core areas of education, micro-finance, healthcare and direct assistance.
