BILL BENSLEY ENGAGED FOR SANCTUARY RESORTS’
HOTEL DE LA PAIX IN SIEM REAP, CAMBODIA
Bangkok, 26 July 2002 – Hotel de la Paix,
the new resort development of Sanctuary Resorts, the Hong
Kong based resort management company creating holistic resorts
where people balance their body, mind and spirit, has recently
engaged renowned designer and landscaper Bill Bensley to supervise
the overall design and appearance of the project.
Bill Bensley, whose designs for resorts like
Bali Hyatt, Anantara Resort, Regent Chiang Mai and Rajvillas
– Jaipur have been recognized amongst today’s
most innovative resort gardens and developments, will work
closely with both the owner, Sokoun Chanpreda and Sanctuary
Resorts in overall concepts and appearance of the resort.
The four storey development will be contemporary
Asian in design and will reflect modern Indo-Chinese values
and a forward looking interpretations of the cultural aspects
of Cambodia and the region. The public spaces, gardens and
overall design will not dwell on Cambodia’s glorious
Khmer past but instead focus on balancing the past with a
contemporary, and forward looking resort concept not yet seen
in this part of the region.
Construction on the resort is expected to commence
by end of June and development is currently still on schedule
for its opening in September 2004.
Sanctuary Resorts currently manages The Bale,
in Bali, The Racha – just off Phuket and Shinta Mani,
also in Siem Reap, while developing additional resort projects;
all sharing the same values, holistic body, mind and spirit
programs and community development and environmental sustainable
policies.
