Full accommodation information
Hotel information
With its centenary fast approaching, the iconic Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor is very much part of the history and scenery of Siem Reap.
The hotel is a commanding sight as you draw near, oozing an air of refined luxury that continues as you step through the impressive entrance and into the lobby. Styled in an eclectic manner, much like Siem Reap itself, Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor proudly showcases many aspects of this ancient city and the people who have passed through it. Art Deco curves flawlessly mingle with Cambodian motifs and colonial furnishings, not to mention the original wooden elevator, which is still very much in use. That being said an incredibly modern feel prevails throughout, thanks to several renovations over the years.
Sharing the perfectly manicured gardens with the swathes of flora and fauna that also inhabit them, lofty palm trees provide a natural canopy during the afternoon as the sun beams down, while low-lying shrubs are a joy to walk among. The pool, however, takes centre stage, gently rippling day in day out. This huge body of water is lined by smart sun loungers, inviting you to take a break after a day of exploring the beguiling ruins and temples at Angkor Wat.
You’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to deciding on where to dine once night falls, so why not make your mind up as you enjoy a luxe massage? With many of the treatments featuring traditional Khmer herbs and spices, the eco-friendly spa at Raffles is a soothing environment, dedicated to, leaving you feeling completely serene and ready to revel in an evening of entertainment and delectable dining.
Room Options
Comprised of a collection of rooms, suites and villas, Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor has an extensive selection of accommodation available. Though they may vary in décor and size, what is a constant throughout is the attention to detail that comes with many years of dedicated service. Each room is fully equipped with useful mod-cons – such as a minibar, flat-screen TV, air-conditioning and more – sure to make your stay even better.
Landmark Room
Sleeps: 2 Adults
Found in the original main body of the hotel, Landmark Rooms have either king-size or twin beds and a range of views that you can enjoy from your private balcony: the royal gardens, pool or hotel grounds. These rooms are sophisticated with subtle reminders of bygone days, and some also feature a balcony.
State Room
Sleeps: 2 Adults
State Rooms offer the choice of overlooking the pretty gardens or glamorous pool, one king-size bed or two doubles. Some State Rooms boast a balcony, though all are a pleasing mix of present-day living and classic style. Earthy tones and neutral hues create a calm place to return to at the end of each day.
Cabana suites
Sleeps: 2 Adults
Twin bathrooms and a living area in each suite, along with daybeds and loungers on the private terraces. The rooms also feature a Bose sound system and flat screen TV.
Colonial Suite
Sleeps: 2 Adults
With a view over the picture-perfect gardens, one that can be enjoyed from your balcony, the Colonial Suites tastefully recognise the hotel’s rich heritage while retaining a contemporary feel.
Landmark Suite
Sleeps: 2 Adults
Perfect for families wishing to spread out a little, Landmark Suite has beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows that look out to the peaceful gardens. Décor, while simple is interjected with typical Cambodian shapes and colours leading to a sublime combination of colonial and regional design.
Personality Suite
Sleeps: 2 Adults
For a one of a kind experience, opt for the Personality Suite. Each carefully thought through room is a dignified tribute to a highly regarded figure and visitor to the region. From the Scottish photographer John Thomson who captured images of Angkor Wat in the mid-1800s to Henri Mouhot whose adventures are said to have inspired Mr Thomson. A generously sized balcony provides the perfect place to gaze out at the pool area, while an exquisite bathtub waits for you to unwind in.
Two Bedroom Villa
Sleeps: 6 Adults
The exclusive Two Bedroom Villa provides the ultimate experience for those travelling in a small group or perhaps simply looking to enjoy a bit of extra privacy. A large living area, in keeping with the colonial theme, houses comfortable furniture and a large dining table big enough for six adults to enjoy a meal around. Two en-suites, both with bathtubs and silk robes in which to lounge, complete this handsome picture.Facilities/Amenities
The comprehensive list of facilities will ensure that no matter what you require during your stay at Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor, it will be promptly provided. The large swimming pool takes centre stage, though a state-of-the-art gym and tennis court are also there for you to burn off any excess energy. Meanwhile, the luxurious spa and stunning gardens are heavenly escapes, the former decked out with a sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi; bliss.
