Angkor Wat Temple Tours
The Homewood Hotel staff can arrange any temple tour you want. If walking on foot takes you too much time, you can always try a Tuk Tuk or private taxi. If you wish to immerse yourself more in the nature surrounding you, we can arrange a bike tour. Regardless of the means of transportation, you can enjoy:
Angkor Wat, the largest and best-known temple in the complex, is famous for its bas-reliefs that depict ancient sagas. Walk around this impressive monument to understand the rise and fall of the Khmer Empire.
Bayon Temple immerses you in the peaceful Buddhist way of life, offering you a portal to connect with the universe. Bayon is set precisely in the heart of Angkor Thom, thus creating a direct connection between heaven and Earth. Besides, the 216 stone statues will offer you another lens through which to look at life.
Ta Prohm is the famous Tomb Rider Temple, but that’s not its main attraction. This temple is worth visiting because it’s almost entirely swallowed by the jungle, thus showing that nature ultimately reclaims every human creation.
Culture & History
The Angkor Wat temple complex, located 2.8 miles (4.4 km) from the Homewood Hotel, immerses you in an unforgettable historical and cultural adventure. But you can also get a direct taste of the Khmer history moulded under Eastern and Central influences in the city.
With its vibrant, aromatic open markets, plus traditional shows and galleries, Siem Reap brings you further back in the Khmer Empire history. If you want to immerse yourself deeper in local traditions, you can always hike the fields or try a local cooking/pottery class.
Explore all the Temples
The Temples in Siem Reap offer unique opportunities to understand Cambodia’s past better. These majestic temples are monuments attesting to the greatness of Khmer civilisation.
At the same time, they reveal a deep-rooted connection between the locals and their environment. Thus, temples like Bayon are built explicitly as portals between heaven and the Earth.
You can explore these temples in Angkor Wat at your own pace or arrange a tour through the Homewood hotel. Our venue can also arrange excursions to further temples, including Beng Mealea and Banteay Srei.
Siem Reap Town
Siem Reap is a vibrant tourist town with plenty of things to see and do. Enjoy a unique Angkor Wat experience through a guided private tour at sunrise, or delight yourself with a mouthwatering dinner on Tonle Sap Lake.
While you’re here, you can also admire the awe-inspiring floating villages.
You can try “Phare: The Cambodian Circus” and the Angkor Dynasty Show for more urban fun. If you want to sample the Cambodian culture first hand, the Homewood hotel can arrange a cooking or Cambodian pottery class.
