\"Two<\/a>Phnom Penh, Cambodia, October 16, 2025 \/ TRAVELINDEX \/ Raffles Hotel Le Royal<\/a> and Raffles Grand Hotel d\u2019Angkor<\/a> are among just 10 hotels in Cambodia to be recognised with MICHELIN Keys in the MICHELIN Guide\u2019s inaugural edition in the Southeast Asian country.<\/p>\n

Raffles Hotel Le Royal is \u201cPhnom Penh\u2019s top hotel by far<\/a>,\u201d the editors write, in addition to being \u201cthe best located, just steps away from the Royal Palace.\u201d<\/p>\n

The editors praise Raffles Grand Hotel d\u2019Angkor in Siem Reap, saying, \u201cThis is an authentic French Colonial hotel, palatial, filled with \u201830s Art Deco furnishings, claw-footed bathtubs, and an antique (though refurbished) cage elevator. Beneath this exterior, though, are all the conveniences needed for survival in the competitive Asian luxury hotel market.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2025 MICHELIN Keys were unveiled globally on Oct. 8. MICHELIN Keys highlight the Guide\u2019s \u201cmost exceptional hotels,\u201d similar to how MICHELIN Stars spotlight the best restaurants.<\/p>\n

Raffles Hotel Le Royal, in a separate major honour, was voted the No. 2 hotel in Southeast Asia in the Cond\u00e9 Nast Traveler Readers\u2019 Choice Awards 2025, which were announced earlier this month. These are among the most prestigious hospitality awards in the world. Readers also voted Cambodia No. 5 among the \u201cfriendliest countries in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be recognised in the same month by both MICHELIN and Cond\u00e9 Nast Traveler \u2013 two of the planet\u2019s top authorities in international travel \u2013 shows that Raffles Hotel Le Royal is truly a world-class destination, celebrated for exceptional hospitality, timeless elegance and an extraordinary guest experience,\u201d Raffles Hotel Le Royal General Manager Dagmar Lyons said.<\/p>\n

Raffles Hotel Le Royal, which originally opened in 1929, today features 175 rooms and suites that underwent a full refurbishment as part of a meticulous one-year restoration project in 2019. The hotel\u2019s elegant past has been reinterpreted in a bold, contemporary style that is inspired by French colonial, Khmer and Art Deco influences.<\/p>\n

Raffles Grand Hotel d\u2019Angkor opened its doors three years later, in 1932, as a rest stop for archeologists and adventurers exploring the ancient kingdom of Angkor Wat. The hotel features an authentic expression of 1930s French Art Deco style with beautifully refined rooms, suites and villas blending old-world charm with Cambodian influences and contemporary detail.<\/p>\n

Joseph Colina, the General Manager at Raffles Grand Hotel d\u2019Angkor, said: \u201cThe honour from MICHELIN is a testament to our commitment to preserving the rich legacy of our hotel, while offering guests an unforgettable experience steeped in history and elegance.\u201d<\/p>\n

The two Raffles Cambodia hotels came together earlier this year to unveil an exclusive new 7-day stay package, \u201cA Tale of Two Cities,\u201d billed as \u201ca journey like no other, where grand history, enchanted glamour and extraordinary adventure entwine.\u201d The experience takes in the wonders of both destinations, including the iconic luxury hotels.<\/p>\n
