Siem Reap boutique hotel Shinta Mani Shack Angkor has been named as a 2018 Travellers' Choice Award Winner by industry giant TripAdvisor after being ranked among the top 25 hotels in the world. It has also been rated by the site as the second best hotel in Cambodia, with particular highlight being paid to its superb service standards and quirky design. Selected from 187K hotels in the world, and 17.5 million guest rooms, Travellers' Choice Awards are the highest honour that TripAdvisor can give and are only awarded to the top one percent of hotels worldwide. This is the sixth top 10 ranking that Shinta Mani Shack Angkor has received from TripAdvisor, which has also recognised the brand's other Siem Reap-based luxury boutique hotel Shinta Mani Angkor with three top 10 rankings in the last four years.

The award from TripAdvisor, coupled with the January opening of the Shinta Mani Angkor - Bensley Collection villas in Siem Reap, kick-started an exciting year for the group. Inspiring guests with Bensley's tailored hospitality concept and Khmer-inspired design, the 10 ultra-chic split-level villas have raised the bar and brought a new level of luxury to the bustling temple town.

The accolades follow a string of 2017 awards which included Shinta Mani Shack Angkor being ranked #3 in Travel + Leisure's list of The 10 Best City Hotels in Asia. The Shinta Mani Foundation also received recognition at Luxperience 2017 walking away with the highly regarded Meaningful Award thanks to its work to support and empower the local community where the hotels are based.

With Shinta Mani Angkor, Shinta Mani Shack Angkor and the Shinta Mani Angkor - Bensley Collection villas in Siem Reap, and the upcoming launch of Shinta Mani Wild - Bensley Collection in Q4 2018, the Shinta Mani Group aims to provide a highly personalised hospitality experience which ensures that guests truly get under the skin of the culture and immerse themselves in the local community. While still, of course, being very luxurious and bringing a new level of unique design to the Cambodian hospitality scene. The aforementioned awards and accolades are a reflection of their success in crafting an enchanting hospitality experience which sees guests returning again and again.
