Rosewood Phnom Penh

What We Think

Francophiles from throughout the city beeline to the patisserie at Rosewood Phnom Penh for its mango and white chocolate eclairs and Macallan Whisky and honey blossom chocolates—just one example of the detail-oriented delights you’ll find at this hotel. The guest rooms here are just as beautifully crafted, starting with the 538 square foot Executive Rooms—stocked with 600 thread count Frette linens; beside controls for everything from the HVAC to the window treatments that roll down over the floor-to-ceiling windows; and custom-made toiletries designed by master perfumer Christophe Laudamiel. For the full “I live here” experience, book a suite like the aptly named Mekong; it has a plush separate living room and spa-like bath, all overlooking its rolling namesake river. While you’re here, be sure to ask the concierge about their curated guest experiences, which may include guided architectural tours of the district and cocktail-making workshops with local mixologists.

What It Is

The uppermost 14 floors of Vattanac Capital Tower, with 175 rooms, 6 restaurants, and a pampering Khmer medicine-inspired spa, an indoor pool, and buzzy rooftop bar.

What It Isn't

Artless. The property has its own art gallery on the 35th floor—an inspiring way to start or end your day.

You're Here Because

The hotel’s luxury knows no bounds, whether you want to hop in any of their fleet of Jaguars for a whirl around town or chat with in-the-know Clefs d’Or concierges.

The Moment

This sleek skyscraper is as “modern day” as they come, but the spa’s treatments have truly ancient roots. Today, after being rubbed down with an herbal ponlei and turmeric poultice and being wrapped in saffron, you emerge as if a butterfly from the chrysalis.
