Phnom Penh


This landmark location is a fine place to recapture the heady days of the war correspondents. The rooms are exquisitely finished in polished wood and include fine art, top-of-the-line furniture and vintage Phnom Penh Post covers on the wall. The deluxe rooms have breezy balconies with prime river views.

Renovations were planned through 2020 to make the place as great as it was in its heyday.
