Cambodia’s Angkor Wat temple complex in Cambodia is one of the most culturally significant archaeological sites in Southeast Asia. It’s considered by the Guinness World Records to be the largest religious structure in the world — and many travelers who seek to visit this iconic heritage site set their home base as the city of Siem Reap for their travels. Siem Reap is considered the gateway to the ruins of Angkor but hosts a lineup of hospitality offerings like restaurants and overnight accommodations for travelers.
