Rosewood Opens Hotel in Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Rosewood has expanded its portfolio of luxury hotels to Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

The Rosewood Phnom Penh is located in the 39-storey Vattanac Capital Tower in the central cultural and business district along Preah Monivong Boulevard.

At 188 meters high, atop the tallest building in the Cambodian capital, the hotel boasts 360-degree views of the city.

“With its rich history and dynamic future, ‘The Pearl of Asia’ is an ideal place to expand the Rosewood Hotels & Resorts brand and this debut represents an important milestone in our global growth,” said Sonia Cheng, chief executive officer of Rosewood Hotel Group. “With the ever-increasing desire for authentic travel experiences amongst affluent explorers, Rosewood Phnom Penh satisfies this urge while also giving us the opportunity to raise our flag in one of Asia’s most fascinating cities.”

Designed by Melbourne’s BAR Studio, with two restaurants created by Tokyo-based Bond Design Studio, the hotel’s residential-style guestrooms are amongst the largest in Phnom Penh, starting at the 50 sqm Executive Room to the signature Norodom House which measures 225 square meters.

The 175 rooms, including 37 suites, feature large, round, window-facing tables that double as dining or work spaces, inviting guests to soak in vistas of the city skyline.

Gastronomes will be spoilt for choice with four dining venues spanning Asian, Japanese and European cuisines.

Brasserie Louis situated on the 35th floor instantly presents a panoramic vista of the city skyline and Mekong River from floor-to-ceiling, wrap-around windows, and features French classic comfort foods and regional Cambodian favorites in a casual yet elegant environment.

The Living Room is residential-like retreat with a relaxed vibe and cozy corners - a refreshing spot for breakfast, snacks during the day or cocktails and appetizers as day turns to dusk and evening.

Iza is a Japanese izakaya-style restaurant with robata-yaki and irori charcoal grill open kitchen with counter seating as the main feature.

The highlight of the dining journey is Sora, translated as “sky” from Japanese, the highest bar in Phnom Penh. Sora is perched on a cantilevered terrace on the 37th floor and offers unobstructed views of the Cambodian capital.

The hotel’s Managing Director is Daniel Grau.
