Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor, Siem Reap

From the cage elevator in the lobby to the whirring fans overhead, it’s easy to imagine yourself back in the 1930s Indochina rather than modern day Cambodia when you stay at this elegant colonial-style hotel. Settle down at one of the opulent old world suites or take a stroll around the 15 acres of French Gardens before settling down for pre-dinner drinks at the famous Elephant Bar. The fact that the majestic and deeply spiritual temple complex of Angkor Wat is a short 8km drive away just adds to the totally unique nature of this destination.
