Top tips for finding the perfect Phnom Penh hotel

• Upscale hotels in central Phnom Penh are typically found in the city’s Central Business District. It’s where you’ll find the iconic Raffles Hotel Le Royal, whose colonial-style Elephant Bar is essential for enjoying one of the hotel’s famous afternoon teas. Fronting the wide boulevard of 92nd Street is the 4-star Sunway Hotel, whose long-standing reputation makes it one of the most popular luxury hotels in Phnom Penh.
• For those wishing to immerse themselves in the city’s key tourist attractions, hotels in downtown Phnom Penh are ideal. For a quiet hotel in Phnom Penh, the Plantation Urban Resort and Spa, opposite the Royal Palace, is an oasis of calm, with serene tropical gardens and a restful spa. Another popular choice is the Aquarius Hotel and Urban Resort, situated within walking distance of the Royal Palace and the Independence Monument, its facilities include a glass-walled saltwater infinity pool and open-air bar.
• On the lookout for unique boutique hotels in Phnom Penh? Don’t miss the Quay Boutique Hotel overlooking City Park and the Tonle Sap River on Sisowath Quay. Its chic modern design and carbon-friendly footprint is popular with eco-travellers. Centrally located and within a few minutes walk of the Royal Palace grounds, there’s also Okay Boutique Hotel in Daun Penh, whose Cambodian-style décor and traditional spa make for an authentic stay.
• Those looking for the complete leisure package will find themselves well catered for at NagaWorld Hotel and Entertainment Complex. Situated in downtown Phnom Penh, opposite Koh Pich peninsula, this 5-star hotel offers impressive on-site facilities, including spas, golf courses, restaurants, nightclubs and shopping centres.
