The dumbest business plan, as confessed by American hotelier and owner Martin Dishman himself, The One Hotel, as its name suggests, has only ONE room. Yes, seriously.

Situated in the heart of Siem Reap along her most fascinating lane, The Passage in Siem Reap’s Old Market area, this solo mono is embraced by many for its minimalism approach showered with the little things that matter – a 32″ flat screen tv, a monster of a plush king-size bed, the ownershiup of the root of the French colonial building all to yourself, blah blah blah. I like the idea of being the only patron. Who doesn’t like feeling special?

A bit of history here to impress your lady/ man/ mother/ china bride. 

Martin Dishman arrived in Siem Reap sometime in 2004, and established Shinta Mani, a modest yet hip hotel that doubles up as a vocational school (don’t ask me how that works). By the end of 2004, he quenched the thirst of the deprived local gay men with Linga, the country’s first gay-friendly bar. The One Hotel soon came in April 2006.
