Introduction to Cambodia
Dominated by the waters of the mighty Mekong, Cambodia is a country whose staggering natural beauty,
breathtaking cultural heritage and, at times, tragic past cannot fail to leave an enduring impression on
visitors. From the spectacular jungle temples of the Khmer Empire, to the haunting Killing Fields of the 20th
century, this is a land of evocative and unforgettable memories. For a country so small, Cambodia offers an impressive array of hotel options for the discerning visitor. From 5-star luxury to traditional elegance
and boutique hotels, the country affords a range of choice for all tastes and budgets. On this page we present just a handful of the choices on
offer and our Indochina specialists would be happy to discuss the options to match your requirements.
