Raffles Grand Hotel d'Angkor is a historic hotel located in Siem Reap, Cambodia. First opened in 1932, it was established by French town planner Ernest Hébrard to accommodate the early explorers and tourists visiting the world heritage site Angkor Wat.

Referred to as 'La Grande Dame' of Angkor’,[1] the hotel has welcomed personalities such as Charlie Chaplin, Paulette Goddard, Victor Goloubew, Princess Margaret, Lord Snowdon, Jacqueline Kennedy, Charles de Gaulle, Sultan Ibrahim Al-Masyhur, Queen Sofía, Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal, Lee Hsien Loong, José Carreras, Roger Moore, Chris Noth, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama among many others.

It was acquired by Raffles Hotels and Resorts in 1994 and reopened in 1997[2] following an extensive restoration. Regarded as "the last bastion of the golden age of travel in Cambodia",[3] the hotel is one of the few remaining colonial hotels in Asia.
