Maison 557
Sophisticated, chic, secluded
What we say: 
A new player on Siem Reap's high-end accommodation scene, Maison 557 is a refined and comfortable boutique hotel that offers six secluded rooms off up-and-coming Wat Bo Road.
The building was designed and erected by a Frenchman in the 1950s and has been thoughtfully restored to give it a modern and sophisticated feel but still with a touch of that old school charm.
Each room is a tad different from the next but all have cool tiled floors covered with rattan mats, king-size beds dressed with white linens, quirky local art on clean white walls and classy yet functional furnishings.
A deluxe room bags you more space and a romantic outdoor shower, and a family suite that was being constructed during our last visit will reportedly offer a private pool and living space. Air-con, fan, safe, WiFi and excellent breakfast come standard no matter the room. The hotel also boasts a good-sized swimming pool in a shady garden courtyard.
Wat Bo Road has a growing number of quality eateries and bars, but the Old Market and Pub Street are only a three-minute tuk tuk ride or 15-minute walk away. The hotel is tucked behind discreet whitewashed walls and iron gates -- tell your taxi or tuk tuk driver to head for the Soria Moria Hotel or the Shadow of Angkor ll Guest House and you will find Maison 557 on the other side of the road, within 50 metres of both, opposite the end of Street 25. If arriving to Siem Reap by air, the hotel offers free pick-up at the airport.
