Despite being relatively off the beaten path, it is one of the best-preserved temples in the Angkor region, having undergone an extensive anastylosis restoration in the mid-20th century. The temple is enclosed by two concentric laterite walls and features a central sanctuary tower, two libraries, and covered galleries connecting the inner enclosure, all richly decorated with carved lintel scenes, devata figures, and floral ornamentation.

The complex is vast, spreading across roughly 140 acres and featuring a series of concentric enclosures connected by long, colonnaded corridors. Unlike many Angkor temples, Preah Khan combines Buddhist and Hindu iconography throughout its galleries.

It was abandoned twice, first during the First Indochina War and again during the Khmer Rouge period, leaving the buildings to be slowly consumed by jungle and mist. The derelict Bokor Palace Hotel, with its crumbling ballrooms and sea-view terraces, is the most iconic structure and a popular subject for photographers.
