Raffles Grand Hotel D'Angkor.

A fixture of Siem Reap since 1932, the Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor remains the definitive example of French-Colonial grandeur in Cambodia. Designed by architect Ernest Hébrard, the property is an Art Deco landmark set across fifteen acres of manicured gardens and tropical palms. Its historic soul is preserved through original features like the wrought-iron cage elevator and the dark wood paneling of the Elephant Bar, a long-standing haunt for travelers seeking classic cocktails. Rooms lean into heritage with high ceilings and four-poster beds, while the expansive outdoor pool takes its design cues from the ancient Khmer royal bathing pools at Angkor Thom. Located just ten minutes from the gates of Angkor Wat, it serves as a stately, quiet retreat from the town's bustle.
