Hotels near Angkor Wat

Angkor Wat is a Vaishnava Hindu and Theravada Buddhist temple complex in Siem Reap, Cambodia, and the largest religious complex in the world. Located on a site measuring 162.6 hectares within the ancient capital of Angkor, it was constructed between 1113 and 1150 CE during the reign of the Khmer king Suryavarman II as a Hindu temple dedicated to Vishnu. From the late 13th century onward, the complex was gradually transformed into a Buddhist temple and has remained an active center of Buddhist worship for centuries. Angkor Wat is noted for its monumental scale, extensive bas-reliefs, and architectural unity characteristics of Khmer architecture. Unlike most Angkorian temples, it is oriented toward the west. It is a symbol of Cambodia and appears on the Cambodian national flag.

Siem Reap is the only sensible base for most visitors, since it sits about 6km from Angkor Wat and gets you there by a short tuk-tuk or taxi ride, letting you catch sunrise or make multiple visits without wasting a day on travel. Its hotel range covers most budgets and styles, from Memoire d' Angkor Boutique Hotel and Boutique Indochine d'Angkor to Central Corner d'Angkor and Home Indochine d'Angkor Hotel, all close enough to the temples for early starts and easy returns.

Battambang, roughly 110km away, works only if you're already touring Cambodia's smaller cities and don't mind a bus or shared taxi to Siem Reap followed by a tuk-tuk to the temple itself — effectively a day trip built around transit. It suits travellers who want a quieter, more local base with options like Maisons Wat Kor, The Sanctuary Villa Battambang, V V Hotel Battambang, or Family Batcave Homestay, but it's not efficient for repeat temple visits.

Phnom Penh, at about 230km, is really a capital-city stay rather than an Angkor base. Getting to the temples means a bus, car, or flight to Siem Reap first, then a tuk-tuk. It only makes sense if you're combining a Phnom Penh stay — at hotels like Raffles Hotel Le Royal, Hyatt Regency Phnom Penh, Plantation Urban Resort & Spa, or Luxcity Hotel & Apartment — with a separate side trip to Angkor Wat, rather than visiting from there directly.
