Located on the banks of the Siem Reap River, Treeline Urban Resort will have 48 keys comprising 36 rooms and 12 suites, together with modern culinary outlets and a trendy rooftop pool and bar.

Along with a desire to provide spectacular service and memorable experiences for her guests, Joni has a deep passion for Cambodia and philanthropy, making her the ideal candidate to manage this chic new property which will support and promote local artistic talent within the community through its Treeline Art Foundation.
