Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor Named One of World’s ‘500 Best Hotels’ by Travel + Leisure

 Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor, the luxury heritage hotel near the famed ancient Khmer archeological sites in Cambodia, was again named one of the world’s ‘500 Best Hotels’ by the influential U.S.-based magazine Travel + Leisure.






The honour, which is among the most coveted distinctions in the global hospitality industry, draws on reader input as part of the industry-leading travel magazine’s ‘World’s Best Awards’. Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor was highlighted on the list for a fourth consecutive year.


“An extraordinary setting. Design that feels both unexpected and of-the-moment. Service that goes above and beyond. When a hotel feels truly exceptional, our readers are slow to forget,” Travel + Leisure wrote as it introduced this year’s designated hotels.


Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor originally opened in 1932 as a rest stop for archeologists and adventurers exploring the ancient kingdom of Angkor Wat. The hotel features an authentic expression of 1930s French Art Deco style with beautifully refined rooms, suites and villas blending old-world charm with Cambodian influences and contemporary detail.

Last year, the hotel unveiled a ‘Curated Journeys’ menu offering singular excursions, including a ‘Bespoke Temple Dinner’ served by candlelight at the temple complex of Angkor; a ‘Lost Civilisations of Angkor by Vespa’ tour, where the ancient world meets the here-and-now; and the ‘Siem Reap Art Tour’, which offers an inside look at the city’s bustling art scene; among others.


Nearly all of Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor’s 119 guest rooms and suites were fully refurbished in a meticulous three-year renovation project that concluded in June 2022. One of the hotel’s most distinguished attributes—its classic metal and timber elevator in the lobby—remains, as does the vintage ambience of The Elephant Bar. Its on-site ‘Resort Programme’, meanwhile, showcases heritage and traditions at the hotel.

Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor Welcomes New Artist in Residence

  Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor has welcomed a new artist in residence ahead of the launch of a new exhibition of artworks, as the iconic 93-year-old luxury hotel in Siem Reap, Cambodia continues to spotlight talented Khmer creatives. Teang Borin, popularly known as ‘DinArt’, is an audacious, self-taught artist whose work captures and exalts the essence of Cambodia’s rich religious and societal heritage. His latest exhibition, inspired by the majesty of Khmer royalty and the distinguished colour palette of the Raffles Royal Doorman, features vivid, brilliant hues often set against a stark backdrop. “The central concept revives the historical tradition of Khmer royalty, specifically focussing on the Royal Guards’ pantaloons. Historically, the colour of a king’s attire would change to correspond with the day of the week—a vibrant, visual reminder of the calendar and its spiritual significance,” said curator Nat Di Maggio of the local Tribe Art Gallery.
