Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor has earned a place on Travel + Leisure’s prestigious 2025 World’s Best Awards list, recognized as one of the top 100 hotels worldwide. The accolade, voted on by the magazine’s discerning readers, marks a major milestone for the historic Cambodian property.
Located just minutes from the temples of Angkor, the nearly century-old hotel was described by Travel + Leisure editors as “an exquisite stay,” offering rare, immersive experiences—among them, a private candlelit dinner inside a UNESCO-protected temple.
“To be selected by Travel + Leisure readers—some of the most experienced travelers anywhere—is a huge honor,” said General Manager Joseph Colina. “This recognition reflects our ongoing commitment to preserving the legacy of Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor while delivering world-class hospitality.”
The 2025 edition of the World’s Best Awards spans 33 countries across five continents. Earlier this year, Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor also appeared on Travel + Leisure’s list of the 500 Best Hotels in the World—its fourth consecutive year receiving that honor.
Originally opened in 1932 to host explorers and archaeologists visiting Angkor Wat, the hotel remains a striking example of French Art Deco architecture. Its 119 rooms and suites—meticulously renovated in 2019—combine vintage elegance with local craftsmanship and modern touches.
Signature guest experiences now include the “Bespoke Temple Dinner” at Angkor, a Vespa-powered tour through ancient ruins, and a guided deep dive into Siem Reap’s emerging art scene. On-site, the hotel’s curated cultural programming offers guests insight into Cambodian heritage and traditions.
The historic elevator in the lobby and the legendary Elephant Bar still greet visitors, maintaining the hotel’s timeless charm while looking forward to its next century of service.
