13 Years of Hospitality and Good Fortune celebrated with a 50% room discount at the Gateway to Angkor Wat.

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Siem Reap, the 165-room Regency Angkor Hotel is fast approaching a remarkable milestone: its 13th anniversary. For hotel guests, staff, and the wider Siem Reap community, this moment is far more than a humble commemoration—it is a testament to the thriving spirit of Cambodia’s tourism.

For Australian travellers especially, the number 13, often regarded elsewhere with superstition, has become a charming symbol of luck, especially when coupled with a visit to the awe-inspiring Angkor Wat temples. To celebrate its 13th anniversary, the hotel is offering a 50% discount, dropping the price to a value-packed AUD$91 (USD$60) nightly twin share, inclusive of breakfast and facilities of wifi, swimming pool, health facilities and a business centre.

The Regency Angkor Hotel’s journey began thirteen years ago, opening its doors to a Siem Reap that was awakening to its potential as an international destination. In the years since, millions have flocked to Angkor Wat, seeking the mystique and grandeur of Cambodia’s ancient civilisation. The Regency Angkor has stood as a haven of comfort, offering refuge and a gateway to discovery. It is located 2.5km from the Old Market, 5km from the Angkor National Park, and 46 km from the new Siem Reap International Airport.

Siem Reap has long been a favourite destination for Australian travellers. The city’s blend of ancient wonders, lively markets, delicious cuisine, and welcoming locals makes it an irresistible stop for those exploring Southeast Asia. Angkor Wat, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the world’s most iconic temple complexes, is at the heart of this attraction.

The Regency Angkor Hotel stands on a leafy boulevard just a short tuk-tuk ride from Angkor Wat and the bustling Old Market district. Its architecture, a graceful blend of Khmer tradition and modern luxury, welcomes guests worldwide. Lush gardens, a sparkling pool, and inviting communal spaces make it a sanctuary after a day of temple-hopping.

Inside, the rooms accommodate all guests’ needs. They range from Deluxe Double, Twin, and Triple to Deluxe Premium and Suites. All are spacious and elegantly appointed, offering all the comforts that seasoned travellers expect—fast Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and a gracious, multilingual staff always at the ready. Meanwhile, the hotel’s spa and wellness centre provide a soothing oasis for those seeking respite from the tropical sun.

The Regency Angkor Hotel’s success mirrors the growth of Siem Reap itself. Thirteen years ago, the city was a quiet outpost, drawing a trickle of temple enthusiasts. Today, it is a cosmopolitan hub, welcoming visitors from around the globe. The hotel has played its part, not just as a place to stay, but as an ambassador for Cambodian culture.

Through partnerships with local artisans, support for community initiatives, and a commitment to sustainability, the Regency Angkor has become a pillar of the city’s hospitality scene. Guests are encouraged to explore beyond the usual tourist spots, visit local markets, sample street food, and participate in hands-on workshops that reveal the heart of Cambodian life.

For Australians, many of whom return to Siem Reap after their first visit, the Regency Angkor is more than just a hotel: it is a touchstone, a familiar place woven into the fabric of unforgettable journeys.

Ask any traveller why they return, and you’ll hear stories laced with a sense of serendipity—the unexpected upgrade, the spontaneous invitation to a local festival, the friendships formed over shared adventures. The number 13, far from an omen of misfortune, marks these unusual occasions.

One guest recalls arriving on the hotel’s opening day—thirteen years ago—and returning every year since, each visit marked by a discovery: a hidden temple, a culinary delight, a chance encounter that turned into lifelong friendship.

The team’s commitment to excellence remains unwavering as the Regency Angkor Hotel looks toward its next chapter. Plans are underway to expand the hotel’s facilities, introduce new wellness programs, and further integrate local culture into the guest experience. Sustainability will be front and centre, with new initiatives to reduce waste, support local producers, and protect the natural beauty of Siem Reap.

For travellers planning their next journey to Cambodia, the Regency Angkor Hotel promises a comfortable stay and a doorway to the magic of Angkor Wat and the vibrant community of Siem Reap. The 13th anniversary is a reminder that some numbers, far from unlucky, can herald new beginnings, cherished memories, and the simple joy of travel.

It is a place where luck and adventure meet, celebrations are shared, and Cambodia’s heart beats strongest.
