Shinta Mani Hotels is once again joining forces with acclaimed designer and architect Bill Bensley to introduce The Bensley Collection, a new portfolio of super-luxe hotels and resorts that will be launched this year-end.
The debut flagship, Shinta Mani Angkor – Bensley Collection, will open its doors in Siem Reap this November with oversized indoor lap pools and gardens with a rooftop living room within its high-walled façade. Each of the 10 villas, which measures 156m2 across two levels, will feature Art Deco-inspired decor, floor-to-ceiling glassed bathroom, outdoor bath and Apsara project sculptures.

Opening 3Q2018 is Shinta Mani Wild – Bensley Collection, touted to offer a unique luxury tented camp experience in the remote wilderness of Tmor Rung, two hours’ drive from Phnom Penh. This super-luxe property will have 16 100m2 custom designed tents elevated over swift-moving water and waterfalls.
The private sanctuary will combine “world-class design, hospitality and conservation” and has been dubbed by Bensley as “a utopia of sustainability”, according to a statement.
Meanwhile, Shinta Mani Hotels has since July 1 rebranded two of its existing properties – both also the work of Bensley – in Siem Reap to differentiate them as deluxe four-star and premium upscale boutique products.
Following a short closure and makeover, Shinta Mani Resort has reopened as Shinta Mani Shack offering 62 rooms and two junior suites, in addition to a refurbished pool.
Shinta Mani Club is now Shinta Mani Angkor, an upscale boutique property showcasing 39 contemporary designed rooms and public spaces boasting Khmer-inspired design.
