Shinta Mani Shack

About Shinta Mani Shack

A stylish boutique hotel where the history and heart of Siem Reap are in easy reach.

Amongst the elegant mansions of Siem Reap's French Quarter, Shinta Mani is in refined company - and it holds its own with signature aesthetics to make Bill Bensley proud (each room has bespoke artwork from his studio). Greeted with a sunny 'welcome home' after meandering through the bustling Old Market streets or the iconic temples of Angkor Wat, you'll feel well looked after but never smothered. Sheltered by leafy gardens, the boutique hotel centres around a pinstriped pool (but more on that later) and every room has an airy veranda for enjoying those quiet mornings just outside of enticing Siem Reap.

Property details

The property

Shinta Mani's exterior gives a good impression of a subtle Cambodian hotel, but the lobby quickly shows off its avant-garde side with bold apsara (cloud spirit) murals. Bai Tong offers a varied menu of international fare and Khmer classics, enjoyed in a bistro draped in greenery or on the terrace. Be sure to try inventive dishes like wok-seared salmon with mango salsa paired with a Ginger Khmer. A Siem Reap staple, The Steakhouse offers hearty meals and a winning wine list. Stroll on over to the sister hotel for a coffee bean cleanse and monk's blessing.

The rooms

Clustered around the courtyard pool, each uniquely-designed room is bedecked with eye-popping portraits and murals. The look is an interesting blend of heavy, dark wood furnishings, Khmer carvings and industrial-style fixtures from wrought iron bed frames to warehouse lamps. The bathrooms are minimalist with a bathtub and rain shower; and other amenities include a TV, tea/coffee maker and minibar. The spacious suites have an adjoining lounge area in shades of mustard or orange and geometric carpeting.

Activities

Well-positioned to experience enchanting Siem Reap, Shinta Mani is in walking distance of the colourful Old Market, the grand French Quarter homes and Royal Gardens. Angkor Wat is a must-visit and there's so much to see, from the sunrise beside ancient library pools to the 12th-century temples and the world's longest stretch of bas-relief carvings. Cruise across Tonle Sap Lake to see ancient floating villages (even the pig pens are on the water) or take to the countryside on an ox cart where you'll visit a traditional Khmer wine maker.

Why we love it

Sipping on icy green ginger cocktails or enjoying bottomless ice cream by the pool. Plus, this lovely spot in the garden gets sun all day long!

Insiders Tip

Shinta Mani has a huge community focus and the hotel sells textiles and jewellery made by NGOs and helps fund hospitality training for local youth.

Something to think about

It has to be said that the hotel doesn't have a bar (or spa) of its own but just down the road, its sister hotel is at your service. Try one of the 30 gins from all over the world at Bensley's Bar!
