Gazing at the beautiful wooden houses amidst the provinces, he and his wife couldn\u2019t let go of the idea of opening a hotel in this country they&#8217;d come to adore. He was particularly captivated by the dramatic stilts under each house, a necessity to deal with flooding, and the intricate carvings that adorned the rooftops and terraces. Most importantly, though, he noticed a nomadic tradition. <\/p>\n<p>This was the detail that would spark the genesis of <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/siem-reap-hotels\/sala-lodges?utm_source=agenda&amp;utm_medium=page&amp;utm_campaign=soul_survivors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sala Lodges<\/a>, one of the most inspired hotels on Tablet. \u201cWe saw people dismantling these magnificent wooden houses,\u201d explains Lugeon, \u201cmoving a few kilometers and then rebuilding them. So that\u2019s when we said, \u2018Ah, maybe we can do that.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We talk a lot about the importance of a hotel transporting you to a different place, letting you try on a different life. To stay at Sala Lodges is to stay in actual, traditional Khmer housing, brought to this site in Siem Reap from all over Cambodia. Sala consists of houses once owned by everyone from carpenters to fishmongers to retailers of gold and <em>prahoc<\/em> (fermented fish paste). Each was built between 1956 and 1985. The largest was once an army barracks.<\/p>\n<p>It took two and a half years for Lugeon and his co-founders to acquire the homes. It was a grueling process. For every three homeowners they found who wanted to sell, seven had no interest. That was just beginning of the challenge. Once acquired, then came the actual de- and reconstruction. \u201cI don\u2019t know if you know the furniture concept of Ikea?\u201d Lugeon half-joked to Tablet, about the mobility of the houses. \u201cYeah, it\u2019s exactly that. You can build it once. It&#8217;s beautiful. You can maybe dismantle it once, it\u2019s beautiful. But third time you break everything. It\u2019s exactly the same.\u201d To that end, three houses didn\u2019t make it to their new destination. It was just as well; their parts were used for repairs. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.prod.r53.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20220514\/Outside.jpg\" alt=\"Sala Lodges\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.prod.r53.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20220514\/OutsideBedroom-1.jpg\" alt=\"Sala Lodges\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.prod.r53.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20220514\/Outside-1.jpg\" alt=\"Sala Lodges\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.prod.r53.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20220514\/OutsideBedroom.jpg\" alt=\"Sala Lodges\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sala&#8217;s eleven lodges are spacious, despite most containing only a single bedroom \u2014 a byproduct of the way of living in the countryside, with multiple generations under one roof and few permanent dividers to separate family. All the lodges are immediately distinct, with their intricate roofs and carvings, embellished whittlings that dangle above terraces. Each has a small \u201cvegetable patch,\u201d a detail that helps contribute to the property&#8217;s feel as a small, idyllic village that sprouted from nowhere. Even the palm trees, which take years to grow, have been transported here from the countryside. Views gaze out over the brimming gardens and sunken rice paddies, and the homes still balance sturdily on stilts. <\/p>\n<p>If it looks precarious now, consider that the original legs on each home were much taller, having now been chopped at the knees \u2014 a concession to the logistical needs of guests who wouldn\u2019t want to climb a towering ladder each time they returned home from the open-air lounge.<\/p>\n<p>Besides the modern bathroom added to each dwelling, the beautiful furniture from Rajasthan, India, is another anachronistic concession \u2014 one that fills the spaces as an aesthetically pleasing homage to the Hindu origins of the nearby Angkor, the extraordinary temple complex that draws millions of tourists a year to its ancient ruins. A different kind of history draws guests to <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/siem-reap-hotels\/sala-lodges?utm_source=agenda&amp;utm_medium=page&amp;utm_campaign=soul_survivors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sala Lodges<\/a> \u2014 a more down-to-earth, more relatable craftsmanship. The houses are pristine examples of centuries of local architectural tradition, but much older in spirit than they are in years. That makes them perfect for their new purpose as luxury hospitality, sensitively updated with comforts like wifi and air conditioning.  <\/p>\n<p>There are other contemporary appendages at Sala. The newly built public spaces (pool, bar, restaurant, and lodge) employ concrete for a modern look the <em>Phnom Post<\/em> called \u201cuber-chic,\u201d but were nonetheless designed to highlight and complement the lodges. Because it&#8217;s all about the lodges, and the rare opportunity they provide to guests. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy do reconstruction rather than building from scratch?\u201d asks Lugeon, one of four founding owners with his wife and one other couple. \u201cWe wanted to bring to visitors of Cambodia the opportunity to experience real living. And real living if you reconstruct it is not real living.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese houses have souls,\u201d he says. \u201cYou can believe it or not, but they do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.prod.r53.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20220514\/Terrace.jpg\" alt=\"Sala Lodges\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.prod.r53.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20220514\/Bedroom-2.jpg\" alt=\"Sala Lodges\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.prod.r53.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20220514\/Bedroom-1.jpg\" alt=\"Sala Lodges\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.prod.r53.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20220514\/Bedroom.jpg\" alt=\"Sala Lodges\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/siem-reap-hotels\/sala-lodges?utm_source=agenda&amp;utm_medium=page&amp;utm_campaign=soul_survivors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sala Lodges<\/a> finally opened in 2013, the hotel owners invited all the former homeowners to the property. Only two came, and they didn\u2019t stay over. Sala Lodges has a strong relationship with the surrounding community, hiring locally for staff, as well as from the two hospitality schools where both Lugeons teach. But when it comes to guests at the resort, Lugeon finds they\u2019re mostly foreign. \u201cGuests who were surrounded by houses like this [growing up], when they go to hotels, they don&#8217;t want to go to the place where their parents and grandparents were living,\u201d he explains. \u201cFrom their point of view, it\u2019s bit of a bad memory. And especially in this country, which has such a horrific history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed this is a country whose name still evokes the atrocities of the Khmer Rouge throughout the 1970s. And maybe it\u2019s no coincidence that it was four Swiss hoteliers who were able to see the worth in its architecture despite that. Of all the inspirations for this place, Lugeon cited Ballenberg, Switzerland, as perhaps the original. An hour or so outside of Bern, it&#8217;s a town and open-air museum, constructed in the 1970s, that collected dismantled and reconstructed local architecture with the intention to preserve the traditions of the Swiss countryside. <\/p>\n<p>It still draws 200,000 visitors a year, and remains an important source of employment for the area. Sala Lodges is the Cambodian corollary in miniature, translated directly into hospitality. It\u2019s not just about the tradition of the houses, says Lugeon. \u201cThey feel like home.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<em>Book <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"
