Raffles Hotel Le Royal

Opened in 1929, the Raffles Hotel Le Royal is one of Phnom Penh's most emblematic buildings and has witnessed Cambodia's political, cultural, and urban transformations since its inception. With architecture that combines French colonial influences, Khmer features, and Art Deco details, the hotel was restored in the 1990s and today preserves its historical identity without sacrificing contemporary comfort. Surrounded by tropical gardens and frangipani-shaded pools, it houses iconic spaces such as the Elephant Bar, known for its classic cocktails, as well as restaurants that reinterpret traditional Cambodian recipes and international cuisine. Just minutes from Wat Phnom, the Royal Palace, and the National Museum, the location allows guests to explore the city on foot or by short trips, while the spa, personalized services, and carefully decorated suites transform each stay into a sensory immersion in the soul of Phnom Penh.
