Raffles Grand Hotel d'Angkor

For luxury, atmosphere, and convenience, there's no better choice in Siem Reap. Rebuilt in 1994 from the shell of a classic 1929 structure, it's authentic old Indochina that's neither museum piece nor overly stuffy. Right in the center of town, the imposing colonial facade gives way to a marble lobby, connected by neat black-and-white tile halls to the many rooms and fine services. There's an open metal elevator, an original period piece but functional. Staterooms are large, with classic French doors and windows, neat black-and-white tile entries, fine furnishings, antique standing lamps, and an almost out-of-place high-tech entertainment module. It's very comfortable and atmospheric. Landmark rooms, the next higher standard, are similar but have four-poster beds, a balcony with rattan furniture, and nice touches like porcelain bathrooms and more antique detail. The courtyard pool is large and inviting -- like a commercial set -- and the nearby massage and health facilities are quite something. It's very expensive, but the price includes the finest service and a revisit to old Indochina that you can't find anywhere else. There's an Apsara dance show nightly.
