Character and identity

Open since 1929 and reborn under Raffles in 1997, Le Royal is the grande dame of Phnom Penh: a colonial-era landmark on a walkable central street, with high ceilings, wood panelling and the kind of Old World register that once drew Chaplin, Maugham and Jackie Onassis. The 170 rooms sit around two outdoor pools and a spa, with Restaurant Le Royal serving ancient royal Khmer cuisine and the wood-panelled Elephant Bar pouring more than 110 botanical spirits. Staff are immaculately turned out, and the place still anchors Cambodian high society's weddings, balls and weekend champagne brunch.

Who's it for

Best for:
History-minded travellers and design literates who want a colonial time capsule with proper cocktails, afternoon tea and a serious Khmer dining room downstairs. Couples on a Southeast Asia circuit will appreciate the central, walkable position for self-guided sightseeing, plus the rare-in-Phnom-Penh combination of two pools, a spa and grand public rooms.

Should look elsewhere:
Anyone after a contemporary, design-forward city hotel or a resort-style retreat will find the mood too period-piece. Light sleepers should also note that street-facing rooms catch real traffic noise in the morning, and the property is firmly urban rather than a tranquil hideaway.

Bottom line

What you're really booking is heritage: 1929 architecture, ritualised service and a bar and dining room that genuinely matter in this city. Spend up for a Landmark Room to get the claw-foot bath and original proportions, request a courtyard or pool-facing aspect to dodge the traffic, and book the champagne brunch and Restaurant Le Royal well ahead.
