Two Historic Raffles Hotels in Cambodia Retain Prestigious MICHELIN Keys Status for 2026

Cambodia’s luxury hospitality scene shines on the global stage once more as Raffles Hotel Le Royal and Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor secure MICHELIN Keys in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide. Ranking among a select group of just 12 properties nationwide to achieve the award, both historic landmarks earn praise from inspectors for preserving their authentic 1930s colonial charm while delivering modern luxury.

Phnom Penh’s Flagship Heritage Sanctuary

Raffles Hotel Le Royal Phnom Penh

Operating since 1929 near the Royal Palace, Raffles Hotel Le Royal stands as the capital’s premier luxury address. The property features 175 rooms and suites that underwent a meticulous year-long restoration, blending French colonial elegance, Khmer decorative details, and bold Art Deco motifs.

Guests can unwind in classic suites filled with period details, relax beside tropical courtyard swimming pools, and sip signature cocktails at the legendary Elephant Bar—a long-standing gathering place for international diplomats, journalists, and travelers.

Palatial French Art Deco in Siem Reap

Grand Hotel d'Angkor Siem Reap

Opening its doors in 1932 as a haven for archaeologists and travelers exploring Angkor Wat, Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor delivers an authentic 1930s palatial aesthetic. The hotel retains historic architectural features including claw-footed bathtubs, original wrought-iron balconies, and a working vintage cage elevator.

Visitors can explore the newly launched permanent exhibition, the ‘Grand Path of History’, which displays rare archival photographs, video footage, architectural blueprints, and vintage artifacts celebrating the golden era of Southeast Asian travel.

Two Cities, One Seamless Journey

Travelers seeking a comprehensive Cambodian escape can experience both MICHELIN-awarded properties through the “A Tale of Two Cities” package. The exclusive 7-day itinerary links the urban energy and royal heritage of Phnom Penh with the ancient temple landscapes of Siem Reap, offering private transfers, curated cultural excursions, and signature dining across both Raffles addresses.
