Raffles Grand Hotel d'Angkor brings a particular sense of place to central Siem Reap. An original timber elevator rises from the lobby, Art Deco ironwork frames the staircase, and the grounds open into gardens around a long swimming pool. The hotel dates to 1932, when visitors were beginning to travel to the temples of Angkor, yet its leafy setting remains closely tied to the town outside.
The building draws on 1930s French Art Deco and Cambodian design. Floral motifs run through the staircase railings, while wide eaves shade the tiled roof.
Tiered concrete brackets support the eaves, echoing wooden supports usually found beneath Chinese palace roofs. Their repeated intervals give the long tiled roof a distinct rhythm along the facade.
In Siem Reap's Old French Quarter, the hotel faces the Royal Palace and sits near the Angkor National Museum. The river and the town's markets are part of the surrounding urban landscape; Angkor Wat lies about eight kilometers away. This address keeps the historic hotel connected to both sides of a Siem Reap stay, the streets near the Royal Palace and the temple complex beyond town.

Guest rooms look toward Siem Reap street scenes or the garden grounds. Hardwood floors and writing desks bring the older hotel's character into private spaces, alongside easy-to-reach power ports and USB charging points. The accommodations range from State Rooms to suites with distinct living spaces and outdoor areas; their layouts and outlooks change with the named category. The Royal Villa is situated separately, with its own front door.
A State Room King measures 32 square meters and faces the gardens. Overhead fans and opening windows suit the building's tropical setting, while a separate bathtub and shower give the bathroom its own generous footprint. The scale is that of a traditional hotel room rather than a suite, with the garden outlook keeping the grounds present even away from the lobby.
The 48-square-meter Colonial Suite King uses wood paneling and custom-made Cambodian silks to bring the hotel's two design traditions into the room. It has a garden view, a private balcony and a spacious living area. Those details give this category a different rhythm from the State Room, with a place to sit indoors and a direct connection to the gardens outside.
At 72 square meters, the Landmark Suite King adds a separate living room and a spacious private terrace. Cambodian and Art Deco themes appear together in its furnishings, and the suite looks toward the garden. Its bathroom has a walk-in rain shower and a separate clawfoot bathtub, extending the generous layout into a space of its own.
Restaurant 1932 takes its name from the hotel's opening year and places Cambodian cuisine at the center of the dining experience. Its menus draw on local seasonal produce, with ingredients from the Mekong and Tonlé Sap region and herbs and spices from the hotel gardens. Chandeliers, ceiling fans and candelabras give the room a formal setting without detaching the food from its Cambodian context.
The Conservatory extends the lobby toward the garden and pool. Its wide outlook makes afternoon tea feel connected to the grounds, rather than enclosed within another dining room. Cocktails draw on the same setting. The space is a transition between the hotel's main interior and the water beyond it.
Elephant Bar has a name drawn from the early travelers who arrived at the hotel by elephant. Prints depicting Angkor and Cambodian life line the room, giving the bar a different historical register from the lobby's architecture. The Airavata cocktail is one of its signatures, a tropical mixture that nods to the bar's identity without turning the story into period costume.
Café d'Angkor serves Asian and international dishes in a sunlit room or alfresco overlooking the pool. Nearby, the Poolside Terrace sits among frangipani trees and makes the garden a part of the meal. The two spaces share the water as a focal point, though one is a café and the other is open to the grounds.
The grounds extend across 15 acres, giving the hotel a broad green center in the middle of Siem Reap. Its 35-meter swimming pool was modeled after the ancient baths of Angkor. The water, surrounding planting and long sightlines create a clear physical contrast with the streets outside, while still belonging to the same historic property.
Raffles Spa draws on Khmer massage as well as contemporary treatments. Treatment rooms sit within a wider set of facilities that includes a sauna, steam rooms and a Jacuzzi. The spa also offers treatment settings in the gardens or beside the pool, so the planted grounds are not merely scenery seen from a window.
The pool is long enough for laps, and a fitness center and two tennis courts add other ways to spend time on the grounds. Frangipani trees bring shade and scent near the poolside areas. These spaces give the hotel's outdoor setting a practical role throughout a stay, beyond the first walk from the lobby to a room.
The hotel's grounds took shape in stages around the original building. A west wing followed the main structure's architectural style, while three villas were placed east of the pool; one was built to house the spa. The Conservatory was added to extend the lobby toward the garden and water. In that plan, the pool separates the west wing from the eastern villas, giving the grounds a clear spatial order beyond the original building.
The 15-acre gardens also hold a shrine to two figures from Cambodian folklore, known as the Big God and the Small God. Among the paths and planting, it gives the grounds a cultural marker separate from the pool and the hotel's French-influenced architecture. The shrine belongs to the garden's local story, not the Art Deco design of the building.
Beyond the hotel entrance, the Royal Crusade for Independence Gardens form a public, fan-shaped frontage. Their formal, lotus and riverside sections continue toward an Art Deco bridge across the Siem Reap River. This is a different landscape from the hotel's private 15-acre grounds. The contrast clarifies the address: the property is a contained garden hotel, yet the town's public green space and river remain immediately outside its edge.
This Siem Reap hotel is located between downtown and Angkor Archaeological Park. It has views of Royal Gardens and is close to the Siem Reap River.
Enjoy the beautiful view of temples from the airport to the hotel by taking a helicopter ride.
After a day of sightseeing, why not unwind by the pool? At 33 meters long, Cambodia's largest pool offers the perfect oasis for relaxation.
