“Like all Aman hotels, the Amansara plays its sophisticated luxury in a cool way. It creates a spiritual experience that is in balance with five centuries of Khmer civilization and the most significant remaining Khmer architecture in the world. You wander from the human luxuries and poetry of the Amansara to this other twelfth-century world having new thoughts, new understandings, new and deep pleasure and peace.” —Mary Wells
