Raffles Grand Hotel d'Angkor

The Raffles Grand Hotel d'Angkor sits at the heart of Siem Reap, just a few kilometres from Angkor Wat. 

The hotel's attractive Art Deco style continues in the spacious and elegant rooms and suites, with their four-poster beds, antique furnishings, patterned carpets, high ceilings, wooden floors and classically opulent marble bathrooms seamlessly combining with 21st-century facilities and comfort. Balconies overlook either the swimming pool or the adjacent gardens.

From traditional Khmer dining to al fresco pan-Asian barbecue buffets, there are several bars and restaurants that will satisfy every palate. Have a candlelit meal by the pool, surrounded by the scent of the frangipani trees, and linger over cocktails in the elegant Elephant Bar, while dinners on the Apsara Terrace, during which diners can enjoy classical Khmer dances and Bokator Khmer martial arts, are not to be missed.

The hotel's spa offers a range of pampering treatments, including Chad Ta Shai, a traditional Khmer massage that promises to ease away aches and tensions, while a Jacuzzi or sauna session offers further opportunities to unwind. There's a lovely pool, while fitness fans can take advantage of a fully-equipped fitness centre. 

Angkor Wat is the star of the show here, of course, as well as the many other temples in the surrounding area. The Angkor National Museum is next door, while you can walk along the river to the town centre, with its bars, restaurants and buzzing markets.
