Hotel: Spa Corner Residence

As soon as I entered the hotel I felt zen. And I’m all types of hype so that tells you a lot. On arrival, me and my home girl were brought into a chill room by the entrance which had the most calming aroma and we were brought cold flannels, sweet potato crisps and fresh juice. I requested refills of the sweet potato about 3 times. Sometimes pictures look good from far, but in reality far from good, but I definitely took a win when booking this boutique hotel.

I want to say it was the earthy colour tones in the bedrooms and spa that created the zen environment but it was more than that. The aroma and the music made me want to constantly have a nap. And who doesn’t love a good nap? The ambience was just so on point.

All the feels

The staff were really friendly, and really went out of their way to make our stay in Siem Reap unforgettable by pointing us in the right direction of food places in Siem Reap, dropping us off to venues in the area, and also doubling up as a tour operator taking us to Angkor Wat.

My 3 favourite things about Spa residence were the rooftop space- It was perfect for practising yoga at sunset and sunrise. The chill space in bedrooms- filled with cushions and the swimming pool swing (for pictures more than purpose!)

Spa

The long term aim is for this hotel to turn into a day spa, which kills my dream of booking a one way ticket to Cambodia and living in this hotel. But, the energy was so relaxed and spa-esque that the idea really didn’t shock me. I sampled the spa treatments, and was given a complimentary 60minute full body Khmer massage and boyyy never underestimate a petite masseuse. Thai massages no longer hold the title for firmness. The spa rooms were decorated earthy, with red and gold tones. Sorry but I just couldn’t go through the walkway to the treatment rooms without taking pictures. I felt like I was in a Herbal Essence advert.

Wrap up

The one thing though that I didn’t see happening, and definitely needs to come with a warning, is the swimming pool’s depth swiftly changing. Word, I nearly drowned whilst attempting a photoshoot! But when I tell you this hotel is a vibe, I don’t say it halfheartedly. If I could have extended my stay I would have without hesitation. I loved my stay at the Spa Corner Residence, and my whole time in Siem Reap so much. If Siem Reap is on your list of places to visit you need to read here
