Grand Venus La Residence is a boutique luxury hotel near Wat Thmey on Venus Street in Siem Reap, Cambodia, placing guests on the quieter northeastern side of town between central Siem Reap and the Angkor temple zone. Its contemporary Khmer-hospitality identity, pool-access accommodation and family-oriented suites make it a practical base for travelers who want temple days, village views and a retreat from the busiest Pub Street evenings.
What to Expect at Grand Venus La Residence
The accommodation focus is on generous rooms and suites rather than a standard city-hotel layout. Categories listed by the hotel include the Classic Room, Cabana Pool Access, Cabana Suite Pool Access, Family Room Pool Access and Penthouse Suite. The Family Room Pool Access is especially useful for multigenerational stays: it combines a king-size bed and two single beds, a rain shower, a pocket-garden-view bathtub, and an oversized private balcony furnished with sunbeds and seating. The balcony faces local village landmarks and Phnom Krom Mountain in the distance.
Pool-access categories suit guests who value easy daytime breaks between excursions, while the Penthouse Suite is the strongest choice for travelers wanting more space. The hotel frames its experience around Khmer hospitality and contemporary comfort, with Dining and Spa facilities listed on-site. Its seasonal offer page has promoted rooms from US$69 including taxes and fees, alongside packages such as Tomb Raider Exploration, Romantic Rendezvous and Luxury Family Escape; rates change by date, room type and inclusions, so book directly through the official website for the available deal.

Visiting Tips, Getting There & Nearby Pairings
For Angkor sunrise, arrange a pre-dawn tuk-tuk or driver the night before; early starts are essential for Angkor Wat and also leave time to return for a midday swim before a second outing. Travelers arriving from Siem Reap–Angkor International Airport should organize a hotel transfer or private car, rather than expect a rail or metro connection. Confirm the property’s current arrival address when booking, as the hotel publishes both the Wat Thmey/Venus Street and Sambai Road locations.
Pool-access rooms provide a ground-level accommodation option, whereas the Family Room Pool Access includes a large private balcony; travelers who need a step-free route, shower seating or other mobility support should request a suitable room directly before confirming. Wat Thmey and its memorial to victims of the Khmer Rouge period are the closest cultural stop. The Khmer Ceramics & Fine Arts Centre is also nearby, and Charles de Gaulle Boulevard provides the onward route toward Angkor National Museum and the temples. For dining and evening activity, central Siem Reap and the Old Market/Pub Street quarter are best reached by tuk-tuk rather than on foot.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best times to arrive and explore from Grand Venus La Residence?
Accommodation is available daily, but restaurant, spa and reception service times should be confirmed with the hotel. Leave before dawn for an Angkor Wat sunrise, or depart around 7:30am for a less rushed temple circuit; late afternoon is ideal for returning to the pool before dinner.
How much do rooms cost, and should I book ahead?
Published direct offers have started at US$69 including taxes and fees, with themed and family packages from US$99 to US$150. Reserve ahead for pool-access rooms, family configurations and holiday-period dates, especially when matching a stay to Angkor excursions.
How long should I stay at the hotel?
Book two nights for a focused Angkor visit, or three to four nights to add central Siem Reap, a slower temple day and downtime at the pool. Families benefit from the longer stay because the Family Room Pool Access is designed for four sleepers.
Is Grand Venus La Residence suitable for families and guests with limited mobility?
Yes for families: the dedicated Family Room Pool Access has one king bed and two single beds, plus a large balcony. Guests with mobility needs should request a ground-level pool-access category and have the hotel confirm the route, bathroom configuration and assistance required before arrival.
