The essentials in 30 seconds
- Verdict: Choose the State Room for a pool-facing view, the Landmark Room if you like a choice of garden or pool side views with a private balcony, a garden-view suite for greenery, and the Royal Villa for direct pool access. The hotel lists pool access for the villa only.
- Best for: Guests who weigh a view or a swim against a standard room, and want to know what each category offers.
- Good to know: Sun hours, shade and noise by room are not published on the hotel pages used here, so ask for your preferred position when you book.
- Next step: Select the category, enter the same dates on Agoda and Booking.com, and confirm the exact room type at checkout.
Raffles Grand Hotel d'Angkor stands in 15 acres of landscaped tropical gardens in Siem Reap, and its 35 metre outdoor pool is a central feature. Rooms differ by what you see from the balcony or window: some face the pool, some face the garden, and one villa has pool access.
This page compares those categories by position and by the type of guest each suits. If a price gap between categories is on your mind, compare the same dates on Agoda and Booking.com, as described in the booking block. For other room needs, see rooms for couples and rooms for families; the overview is which room to book at Raffles.
One-line pick per guest
Pick by guest type
- The swimmer who wants the pool in view: State Room, which faces the swimming pool.
- The sun-seeker who likes a private outdoor space: Landmark Room, with garden or pool side views and a private balcony with table and chairs.
- The guest who prefers greenery: Colonial Suite King or Landmark Suite King, each with a garden view.
- The family or group that wants direct water access: the Two Bedrooms Royal Villa, which has pool access, a private terrace, a living room and a dining area.
Treat these as starting points based on the hotel's own descriptions. If a category is not named for the pool or garden, it is not described that way in the pages used for this guide.
Where these rooms sit in the grounds
The hotel has 119 rooms across rooms, suites and villas. It lists the Royal Villa as situated separately from the main building, while the other categories belong to the main property.
The pool is 35 metres long and open daily from 7:00am to 7:00pm as listed in October 2026; confirm before you travel. The Poolside Terrace beside it serves light daytime meals and fruity cocktails, so a pool-facing room keeps the daytime routine close.
For the pool itself and the spa, see Raffles spa and pool. The hotel states that spa facilities and the fitness centre are open daily from 6.00am to 9.00pm as listed in October 2026; confirm before you travel.

Heritage luxury & history
The categories side by side
State Room: pool-facing, 32 sqm
One king bed, a walk-in rainforest shower and a separate bathtub. It sleeps 2 guests and faces the swimming pool.
Landmark Room: garden or pool side, 36 sqm
One king bed, a private balcony with table and chairs, and a walk-in rainforest shower. It sleeps up to 3 guests. The hotel lists garden or pool side views for this category, so ask which one you will receive.
Garden-view suites
The Colonial Suite King measures 48 sqm, has a garden view and sleeps 3. The Landmark Suite King measures 72 sqm with a private terrace, a separate living room and a garden view.
Royal Villa: pool access
The villa measures 318 sqm with a king bedroom and a twin bedroom, sleeps up to 6, and has pool access.
Other categories without a stated pool or garden view, such as the Personality Junior Suite King (private balcony) and the Raffles Suite King (private terrace), still offer outdoor space; the hotel pages used here do not describe their outlook.
Privacy, noise and light
Published detail on noise, shade and sun hours by room is missing from the pages used for this guide, and the sources behind this page do not include recent guest reviews on these points. Plan for this by asking the hotel two simple questions when you book: which room number or floor is available in the category, and how far it sits from the pool terrace.
Two features offer privacy in the hotel's own wording: the private balcony in the Landmark Room and the private terrace in the Landmark Suite and Raffles Suite. The Royal Villa adds separation from the main building.
Who gains most
Profiles
- Keen swimmers: the State Room, with the pool in view, and a short walk to a 35 metre pool.
- Light sleepers: ask the hotel for a quiet position; the Colonial Suite King offers a garden outlook.
- Sun-seekers: the Landmark Room balcony or a suite terrace, plus the Poolside Terrace for lunch.
- Groups of up to 6: the Royal Villa, with its own pool access and dining area.
On a temple-heavy itinerary, the hotel says the temples of Angkor are an 8 km ride away, so a pool-facing room is a place to rest between early starts.

Is a pool or garden room worth the step up?
The pages used for this guide list no nightly prices, so the price gap between the State Room, the Landmark Room, the garden-view suites and the Royal Villa has to be read on Agoda and Booking.com for your dates. What the hotel does list is what each step adds: the State Room faces the pool, the Landmark Room adds a private balcony with garden or pool side views, the Landmark Suite King adds 72 sqm, a private terrace and a separate living room, and the Royal Villa adds pool access. A simple rule: pay the step when time in the room or beside the water is central to the trip, and keep the standard choice for temple-heavy stays. Compare the same dates and cancellation terms.
