The swimming pool and part of the original main building at Hotel Le RoyalThe second hotel on today's visiting list was Raffles Hotel Le Royal. I won't wax lyrical about Le Royal, but I love old-world charm and elegance and this place oozes all of that and more. It was built in 1929 and fully refurbished in 1997. It offers 170 guest rooms, suites and executive apartments, all beautifully furnished that give you that sense of colonial style. The rooms are spread over three separate low-rise wings, set around the garden courtyard and swimming pools. The main building has been beautifully restored to its original architectural style. Like its sister hotel, Grand Hotel d'Angkor in Siem Reap, its more than just a hotel, its living history.
