As a Gold Marriott Bonvoy member, there are no decent benefits at this hotel. No real upgrades, no lounge access, and no breakfast. They also charge $45 USD extra per night to have a child in your room, even on points stays.
4. Le Meridien Angkor
Le Meridien Angkor executive club lounge is situated on the ground floor of this hotel by the buffet breakfast area. The hotel is showing a few signs of age, and if you like a modern hotel and are a Marriott Bonvoy member, you may want to consider the newer Courtyard by Marriott in Siem Reap instead. A highlight of this hotel is the pool, which is gorgeous and very quiet. To get into town, your best bet is Tuk Tuk, which costs around $3 USD.
This lounge is not a Solus Club lounge. You don’t eat breakfast in the lounge. Platinum Bonvoy members get access to this “lounge” for free. They also get an excellent buffet breakfast. Non-alcoholic drinks are available all day in the hotel foyer.

The free food here is not extensive, with three hot items which range in quality, small sandwiches, fruit, cheese, and desserts. The lounge then converts to a bar that opens at 7:00 pm for happy hour.
5. Angkor Palace
At Angkor Palace, upgrading to the club lounge means upgrading to a higher level of comfort, complete with special touches like a complimentary daily mini-buffet of snacks, a selection of beverages in the Club Lounge, and other refreshments served throughout the day.
This lounge is not one of the best in Asia lounge as it doesn’t have a great view, but there aren’t a huge number of hotels in Siem Reap with executive club lounges, so with the limited choice, this lounge is one of your best options, regardless of its quality. There have been reports that the drinks in this club lounge aren’t chilled.
Benefits of club lounge access include complimentary snacks and drinks and free Wi-Fi. This lounge can be accessed by card key and accessed exclusively by VIP and Club room guests.
