Bensley designed his first hotel in Cambodia in 2003, in Siem Reap, the resort town that serves as a portal to the temples of Angkor. Over the next decade he partnered with Sokoun Chanpreda, a Cambodian entrepreneur with a philanthropic bent, on the 39-room Shinta Mani Angkor and the 66-room Shinta Mani Shack, both Siem Reap boutique hotels with typical Bensley flair: lavish gardens, extravagant accommodations, and vibrant decor in high Cambodia style.

Ein exquisites Haus sticht aus der patinösen Szenerie heraus: das Shinta Mani Angkor made by Bill Bensley, dem ewig jungen Enfant terrible unter den Hotel-Designern. Der Style des Boutique-Hotels mit seinen 39 Zimmern: Modern Chic trifft auf neu interpretierte Khmer- Tradition, klare Linien auf fantasievolle Opulenz.
