This masterpiece suite is dedicated to honor King Jayawarman II from the end of the 8th century and also King Suryawarman II who built Angkor Temple in Cambodia at the beginning of the 12th century.

The history describes Jayawarman II as a young prince who came from Java and built a powerful kingdom in Cambodia at the end of the 8th century. Four hundred years later, Suryawarman II built the Angkor Temple in Siem Reap and carved 2000 Apsara dancers on its walls.

The legend describes a young prince from Java at the end of the 8th century. The prince, during his deep meditations and prayers, always asked for the most beautiful dancer to be his queen to love. His meditations and prayers vacillated the heaven, and being unable to stop the prince's meditations, these Gods asked the Chief of God to grant his prayers.

The Chief of Gods sent the most beautiful Apsara from heaven to persuade the prince. She danced for the prince during three full moons, behind the clouds and the shadow of the moon. When the third full moon finally ended, Apsara had fallen in love with the prince and decided to remain on the earth besides him, although she realized she couldn't return to heaven forever.

The Apsara Residence symbolizes this romantic legend as well as the history between Indonesia and Cambodia in the old days.
