Despite being the most lucrative tourist destination in Cambodia, Siem reap remains one of the poorest provinces. Soria Moria Hotel is fully aware of this social imbalance and attempts to assist by contributing to economic development by actively supporting and encouraging the interaction of guests with the neighbouring environment.
As well as providing spacious, elegantly decorated rooms, a restaurant with local and international delicacies, a rooftop bar, a sundeck with an open-sky Jacuzzi, a spa with a tantalizing treatment menu, and truly hospitable local staff, Soria Moria is now one of the best role models of sustainable tourism development in Cambodia.
Soria Moria has successfully established a number of community orientated projects. It has mainly contributed to the economy by helping people and organisations to become sustainable; by providing workplaces that follow higher standards; by supporting existing community projects to become profitable and self sustaining through purchasing their products and services; and by assisting these organisations with their marketing, promotion, and structure.
Children from the Sangkheum Centre perform traditional Apsara dance to hotel guests who give donations in return. The Iron Workshop (a project set up to help disadvantaged men) makes the hotel’s furniture, and The Silk Lab (a project set up to help disadvantaged women) makes all the in-room decorations. The profist from both projects are donated to a local orphanage.
