Zannier Hotels ’ second property , Phum Baitang in Cambodia , is a “ green village ” with 45 villas reminiscent of typical Khmer houses built on stilts with local wood , timber and stone that have been used in Cambodian construction for decades . Not trying to imitate , but rather integrate a luxury resort into its environment , Phum Baitang is set among a landscape of rice fields and gardens , giving guests an authentic rural experience outside the bustling city of Siem Reap . “ One of the main characteristics of Zannier ’ s hotel brand is that each property must fit perfectly to its location ,” says Arnaud Zannier , founder of Zannier Hotels , which by 2017 will open its third hotel in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez , France .
