Raffles Grand Hotel d'Angkor

The antique cage elevator still runs, which tells you something about what Raffles Grand Hotel d'Angkor is going for. This colonial-era luxury hotel in Siem Reap sits eight kilometers from Angkor Wat, and the Art Deco bones, claw-footed tubs, and 35-meter pool in the inner gardens give you genuine reasons to stay on the grounds. A Forbes Four Star and a Michelin Key reward the careful restoration that quietly removed the building's less inspired updates.
