Every ranked hotel in Siem Reap exists in relation to the Angkor temple complex a few kilometres north, and the better ones are designed around early departures and long afternoon rests. Six properties appear here, all holding MICHELIN Keys, two at two Keys, and one carrying a Forbes Five Star rating.

Amansara occupies the 1960s guest villa built for King Norodom Sihanouk, a curved New Khmer Architecture structure by Laurent Mondet, and sends guests to the temples by converted remorque. Zannier Phum Baitang sets timber farmhouses across rice fields on the edge of town, while Raffles Grand Hotel d'Angkor has operated since 1932 with its original cage lift intact. Park Hyatt Siem Reap sits in the centre near the Royal Gardens, and Sala Lodges assembles relocated village houses.

Where to stay in Siem Reap

The Charles de Gaulle road and Royal Gardens area is closest to both the temple causeway and the colonial-era centre; the French Quarter and Old Market district holds restaurants and the river promenade; and the rice-field fringes toward Svay Dangkum and the ring road hold the low-density estates that trade walkability for quiet.

When to go

November to February is dry, cooler and the clear high season, with the tightest rooms around Christmas; April heat is severe, and the July to October rains fill the moats and reflecting pools.
