Raffles Hotel Le Royal, Phnom Penh

Raffles Hotel Le Royal is one of Phnom Penh's oldest hotel establishments and a local landmark. Having first opened its doors in 1929, it has a long, fascinating and illustrious history. Located in the city centre, it has been beautifully restored to beyond its former glory.

Reopening in 1997 as the Raffles Hotel Le Royal, it still sets the standards other hotels try to follow. A grand and intricate fusion of French and Khmer architecture, fine interior design and first-rate service give this hotel the edge. Few properties manage to so effectively blend old world charm with modern amenities like Raffles.

The 170 rooms, suites and apartments are split into two wings. Sumptuously furnished and art deco in style, they are perhaps some of the most comfortable and stylish in the city. Split into numerous categories and varying greatly in size, they are consistent in quality and style. From the Landmark Room right up to the Le Royal Suite, you feel privileged to stay here.

The hotel’s Amrita Spa offers massages, therapies and treatments from around the world. There are two great swimming pools making for the ideal place to cool off from the citys heat. Additional facilities include an excellent business centre and beautifully landscaped gardens.

Dining and drinking are some of the hotels selling points, with a great selection of restaurants, cocktail bars and cafes. The Cafe Monivong and Restaurant Le Royal offer some of the finest and most atmospheric dining experiences available in Phnom Penh, while the Elephant Bar is a great spot to enjoy a drink in the evening.

Raffles offers a wonderful base for exploring the city’s attractions and markets. If you’re looking for quality service and comforts, this is the place to stay.
