Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor Voted Among World’s Top 100 Hotels by Travel + Leisure

Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor was voted one of the world’s top 100 hotels in Travel + Leisure’s prestigious World’s Best Awards, which are considered among the most coveted distinctions in international hospitality.

The luxury hotel situated on the doorstep of famed archeological sites in Cambodia was praised by the New York-based magazine’s editors as ‘an exquisite stay’, offering ‘coveted experiences’ including ‘a private, candlelit dinner within one of the UNESCO Heritage-protected temples’.

“Travel + Leisure is one of the world’s leading authorities on global travel, and their readership is among the savviest on the planet. To be recognised by these readers as one of the world’s top 100 hotels is both a tremendous honour and further encouragement to us as stewards of Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor’s incredible 93-year-old legacy,” General Manager Joseph Colina said.

Travel + Leisure’s reader-voted World’s Best Awards in 2025 features properties in 33 countries across five continents.

Earlier this year, Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor landed on the magazine’s list of the World’s ‘500 Best Hotels’, earning the distinction for a fourth consecutive year.

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.

The hotel has 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. The hotel’s on-site ‘Resort Programme’ showcases heritage and traditions at the hotel.

Nearly all of Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor’s 119 guest rooms and suites were fully refurbished in a meticulous renovation project in 2019. 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.
