A derelict 1930s Chinese cinema – one of Kampot's modernist architectural icons – has been lovingly restored and turned into a boutique hotel. Rooms are snug but polished and beautifully lit. Vintage prints evoke the golden age of Khmer film, while the colourful tiles in the lobby mimic the original tile work. Drop by the restaurant just to bask in the ambience.
It is set beside a small courtyard pool and its French chef garnishes his native cuisine with Khmer accents.
