We got sent a photo yesterday of their colorful, bright, silk-adorned tree, which manages to make our tree at home look about as elegant as a bundle of twigs with a star on top. But then again, we don't normally hire a Paris-educated couturier to design our tree, now do we? Internationally-acclaimed designer Eric Raisina, who relocated to Siam Reap because of the region's native silk, and who has created textiles for the likes of Yves Saint Laurent and Christian Lacroix, decided to use the lotus flower as his inspiration for the tree, citing its associations with "purity." Hats off to him, because this is definitely one of ASchechter 2011-12-22T11:30:02-05:00 My Own Private Island: Cambodia's Song Saa Sweethearts http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2011/3/3/23550/38286 <![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/18481/Song_Saa.JPG" class="top"> All this week, HotelChatter contributor Eric Rosen will be taking us on a guided tour of the globes most exclusive, luxurious, over-the-top vacation retreats in our new <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Private%20Island%20Hotels">Private Islands Series</a>.

This week, we had the chance to step inside the hotel and snoop around. Despite a distinct feeling of inferiority like only the French can impose, the experience was pretty sweet. Our takeaway? Other than enjoying the avant garde installations in the hotel's swank lounge and discussing with a cocktail waitress the myriad wildlife living in the giant Bayon tree in the center of the hotel's courtyard, the thing we most enjoyed about the place was its pool. This thing is ridiculous. Hidden on the hotel's second floor, it has everything: a bridge, an infinity ledge overlooking the ground-floor courtyard, ced138 2008-10-24T09:56:51-05:00 Siem Reap: Siem Reap Hotel Guide :: Raffles, In Contrast, Is Fit For A Queen http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/10/22/4445/1109 <![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/7156/raffles_hall.jpg" class="imgborder"> <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Raffles+Grand+Hotel+D%27Angkor/ian/160577">Raffles Grand Hotel d'Angkor</a> provides what's expected of it...no more and no less. Like Amansara nearby, the hotel focuses on understatement to liken itself to royal tastes and emphasize its subtle class. The hotel's sterile, colonial exterior continues inside the building's hallways and guest rooms. The result is a removed feeling from the air and bustle of Siem Reap--welcome to some and disconcerting to others. Still, it's the best way to see how high society of yesterday (and today) experience Angkor, from a safe, removed distance. The newly-built extension continues the hotel's austere feel that the more critical might (and do) call "uninspired." The rear gardens resemble a place where Queen Elizabeth might let her basset ced138 2008-10-23T09:15:50-05:00 Search HotelChatter Search HotelChatter string http://www.hotelchatter.com/search/
