Set in a historic area of the city, close to the Tonle Sap River, Raffles Hotel Le Royal evokes the heritage of its roots with a contemporary take on French colonial style. The elegant exterior is continued inside where a calming palette of neutrals, light-filled, airy rooms, and a refined nod to art deco styling create a graceful and welcoming retreat. The 175 rooms and suites balance this understated heritage glamour with amenities to encourage comfort such as a pillow menu, Butler service and and separate walk-in shower and clawfoot bath. Many of the rooms have a private balcony, perfect for a morning coffee or an evening sundowner.
Dining at Raffles Hotel Le Royal is an experience not to be missed, whether feasting on dishes first created for the Cambodian royal family at Le Royal, enjoying the energy of the French-style brasserie, a classic cocktail in the Elephant Bar or sipping a chilled beer poolside. Two pools, a fitness centre, luxurious spa and serene gardens add to the sense that this hotel is both a base from which to explore the sights of Phnom Penh and a destination in itself.
