The One Room Hotel

The One Room Hotel

Tiny, innovative Cambodian hotel offers big service It sometimes feels like there's nothing new under the sun when it comes to the hotel industry. I get daily press releases in my inbox: 'We've gone green!' 'You can buy our bedding online!' 'We won an award!' Blah, blah, blah. Frankly, hotels are a little boring these days. But I recently heard about a unique property in Cambodia, and it really piqued my interest. It's a cool concept that I hope spreads.

The One Hotel, in Siem Reap's Old Market area in Angkor, Cambodia, is all about a singular guest experience. The One has only one room. If you're the guest at this hotel, you're the big cheese. The staff members have one role - taking care of you. And this one-room hotel is luxurious. Guests sleep on a king-size bed dressed with Frette linens, stargaze on a rooftop terrace from their own personal Jacuzzi, watch a flat-screen LCD TV, and enjoy their own iPod, iBook and personal mobile phone.

So we've got personalized and attentive service, stunning accommodations and a great location. This place has got to be expensive, like those private villas that cost tens of thousands of dollars for a week, right? Not at all. At around $250 a night, The One has relatively low rates. As owner Martin Dishman explains, it's 'affordable exclusivity.'
