Hotel Be Angkor
Getting there
Hotel Be Angkor is located in the atmospheric Old Market area, in the centre of Siem Reap.
- Planes Touch down at Siem Reap International Airport (www.cambodia-airports.com) from regional gateways including Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur or Singapore. For connections, try Singapore Airlines (www.singaporeairlines.com) or Thai Air (www.thaiairways.com). It’s about a 40-minute flight from Cambodian capital Phnom Penh. Hotel Be is six kilometres from the airport and return car transfers are included in the room rate. Routed via the temple complex into town, the drive from to the hotel will give you your first glimpse of Angkor Wat.
- Automobiles Self-drive is not permitted and a lack of road rules makes the traffic chaotic at best, so leave it to the professionals. Buses ply the streets to Phnom Penh from US$6 and take six hours. If you want to explore, ask your hotel to hook you up with a reliable driver. Or, opt for a remorque (tuk tuk), which start at just US$15 a day.
- Others Fast boats connect Phnom Penh and Siem Reap via the undulating Tonlé Sap river and lake (it’s still a five- to six-hour ride). Luxury cruise operators also run between Ho Chi Minh City, Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, if aquatic action floats your boat.
