The Grand Hotel d’Angkor first opened its doors in 1932 to provide luxury hospitality for the first wave of explorers of the Angkor temples. Imbibing the Raffles spirit of adventure, the hotel is a treasure trove of fantastic stories, historical and mythical, found right at the doorstep of one of the greatest wonders of the ancient world. The hotel is a landmark of old world splendour in a mystical location. A mix of Khmer art, French Colonial architecture and art deco styles, creating a liveable work of art that was advanced for its time when it was first built.
