Almond Hotel Phnom Penh
A boutique business hotel is probably the best way to sum up this popular place.

This hotel exudes real style at an affordable price. Rooms are finished in contemporary Khmer materials with original furnishings, and most include a balcony.

Rooms here are a pretty good deal for the three-star standard and include a buffet breakfast and free wi-fi. There’s a large pool and a tennis court, plus Mekong views.
Raffles Grand Hotel D'angkor
The hotel with history on its side, this place has been welcoming guests since 1929, including Charlie Chaplin, Charles de Gaulle, Jackie Kennedy and Bill Clinton...

Park Hyatt Siem Reap
This is the sort of hotel you either love or hate, thanks to its contemporary design, trendy interiors and minimalist style. We happen to love it, including its open plan bathrooms, its iPods in each room and the cutting-edge cuisine...
Bougainvillier Hotel
Khmer-style high-rise has big rooms filled with big shiny furniture, disappointing balconies and leopard prints in the lobby.

Billabong Hotel
Near Psar Thmei but an oasis of calm by comparison, Billabong has a big open courtyard and 20 rooms set around a large swimming pool. Standard rooms are smallish, so it’s better to invest in the pool-view rooms for space and style. Wi-fi costs extra...
Sokha Beach Resort
This five-star hotel delivers everything you'd expect, including a private beach to call your own, hand-combed by staff daily to ensure it is paradise perfect.
Himawari Hotel Apartments
Another property offering serviced apartments as well as rooms, Himawari has a great location on the banks of the Mekong. Definitely request a nonsmoking room, as smokers have left their stamp on some rooms.
Ohana Phnom Penh Palace Hotel
This modern hotel is not quite on the riverfront, but more than makes up for it with smart business-like rooms, a swimming pool and free wi-fi.
Serendipity Beach Resort
These bungalows are like honeymoon hideaways snuggling into the hillside, with fantastic views. Each bungalow has an ocean-facing terrace; there is no air-con because the sea breeze that soars to its lofty location is refreshing enough.

A real Phnom Penh landmark, the Cambodiana has large, well-appointed rooms that are heavy on fabrics with 1980s patterns...
The River Garden Siem Reap
Invitingly set amid a verdant garden, this wooden resort has a small selection of atmospheric rooms, some with large balconies and deep baths. Renowned for its ‘cooks in túk-túks’ culinary class.
