Best Luxury Hotels in Cambodia
Home to Angkor Wat at Krong Siem Reap (also known as the Tomb Raider Temple, due to its feature in the hit Hollywood movie starring Angelina Jolie), Cambodia has long been appearing on bucket lists. The country is part of Southeast Asia, with Phnom Penh its bustling capital. As a nation, Cambodia has experienced turbulent times, with complex political establishments — a history that’s retold in its many museums. But there’s also an unspoilt coastline, forestry, rivers and lakes, for those who like to holiday close to water. Many travellers combine a visit to Cambodia with time in neighbouring Vietnam or Thailand.
