Otherworldy hotel gathers affiliations

The Angkor Palace Resort and Spa has become that rarity of rarities - a dual-branded hotel.

In mid-September the hotel will become part of Summit Hotels & Resorts top-tier collection, which in turn is part of the Chicago-headquartered Preferred Hotel Group.

But Angkor Palace will also continue to be a member of the World Hotels Deluxe Collection until December 31.

Sokha Hotels has been widely trumpeting its new affiliation with World Hotels, and this is part of the reason Angkor Palace general manager Weng Aow moved to Summit.

The Angkor Palace, one of Siem Reap's most amazing hotels, set on acres of lush landscaping, also has another claim to putative uniqueness, as the only five-star hotel that is Khmer-owned and designed.

Chairman and owner Ly Hong is also an architect and responsible for the otherworldly setting of this stylish hotel.

The Palace has a further claim to uniqueness, being the only Cambodian hotel with its own netted golf driving range.
