Be transported to a bygone era at the Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor, a five-star luxury heritage hotel which occupies an edifice whose origins date to the 1930s, a time of French-infused glamour and joie de vivre in the Cambodian tropics. Concealing manicured gardens and a 35-metre outdoor pool inspired by Angkor’s ancient baths, the hotel flaunts lavish architecture that is evocative of a colonial plantation, its interiors clad in Italian marble and polished wood and with whirring ceiling fans and vast, airy rooms acting as portals to a lost epoch. Spacious guestrooms feature French-Cambodian décor with beautiful hardwood floors, four-poster beds and breezy balconies, and every guest benefits from attentive butler service. In terms of facilities, you’ll find two professional tennis courts, a fitness centre and a tranquil spa that offers authentic Khmer massages and herbal scrubs alongside jacuzzi-based hydromassages, a sauna and steam rooms. Another mentionable highlight is the hotel cuisine, which draws inspiration from traditional Cambodian recipes and flavours from across the Asian continent. There are also cultural experiences abound, with adventures that include exploring the ancient ruins of Angkor by Vespa, enjoying a riveting Aspara dance performance while dining on exquisite Khmer cuisine, visiting a nearby elephant sanctuary and uncovering the hotel’s fascinating heritage in the company of a resident historian.
