Le Bokor Palace
វិមានបូកគោ
A luxury hill-station hotel built by the French in 1925 on Bokor Mountain. It fell into ruin and became a famous ghost-hotel landmark before being restored and reopened.
Le Bokor Palace was built in 1925 as the centerpiece of the Bokor Mountain hill station during the French Indochina period, and its cliff-edge terraces overlook the Gulf of Thailand. It was abandoned during World War II and the Khmer Rouge era. Its crumbling empty rooms, shrouded in dense fog, became famous as the “ghost hotel,” and the site was also a battleground during the Vietnam War. After restoration in the 2010s, the hotel reopened for business, and non-guests can visit the lobby and the terrace café. It is about an hour from Kampot by winding mountain road.
