'gelegen' and 'angesiedelt' can both describe where something is or which area something belongs to. 'gelegen' is especially suitable for concrete places and describes location: a house, a village, or a hotel is located somewhere. 'angesiedelt' often sounds somewhat more formal and means that something is set up, established, or classified in a place or area. For example, you can say that a company is 'in einer Stadt angesiedelt' (based in a city) or that a topic is 'im Bereich Politik angesiedelt' (situated in the area of politics). The words can be confused when places are involved. As a simple guideline: 'gelegen' describes the location more, while 'angesiedelt' describes a fixed assignment to a place or area more.
