Hyatt Regency Phnom Penh to Open 15 January 2021

The Hyatt Regency Phnom Penh has started accepting reservations for stays starting on 15 January 2021.

The hotel, which is located in the heart of Phnom Penh’s Doun Penh district, has 247 guestrooms including 43 suites.

“Hyatt Regency Phnom Penh offers much in terms of modern comfort and convenience that travelers would look for in a five-star city hotel,” said Herman Kemp, General Manager of Hyatt Regency Phnom Penh. “Not to mention an unbeatable location that’s within easy walking distance to the Royal Palace, National Museum and riverside.”

Conceived by Singapore-based SCDA Architects and Thailand-based PIA Interior, the hotel’s centerpiece is a beautifully restored French heritage building known as the Colonial House. Rumored to have been built as a royal residence for a princess in the early 1900s, the architects have gone to great lengths to restore the villa, which now serves as the property’s main entrance and lobby.

The interiors of the hotel will reflect Cambodia’s diverse heritage, seamlessly blending Khmer architectural accents, French colonial influences, and specially-commissioned artworks by contemporary Cambodian artist, FONKi.

Guests will have a choice of five dining venues including The Attic, an old world speakeasy-style bar that sits tucked away in the eaves of the Colonial House, as well as an indoor/outdoor open-plan dining concept called FiveFive Rooftop Restaurant & Bar, where diners can enjoy views of the Phnom Penh skyline alongside refreshing cocktails and lively DJ performances.

Facilities at Hyatt Regency Phnom Penh will include an outdoor tropical infinity pool, a 24-hour fitness centre, a spa, and 1,400 square meters of meeting and event space.

Moreover, guests staying on the hotel’s Club floors will have access to the Regency Club Lounge, which includes daily breakfast, evening canapés and drinks, as well as a private terrace.

The property will operate in accordance with Hyatt’s Global Care and Cleanliness Commitment. Examples include mandatory face coverings for staff and guests in all indoor public areas, daily temperature checks for all staff upon arrival, socially-distanced seating arrangements in meeting rooms, F&B outlets and recreational facilities, contactless check-in and check-out service, as well as regularly updated health and safety training protocols for staff.

Guests will also be given complimentary personal protective equipment kits containing premium masks, alcohol wipes and other comfort supplies upon arrival.

“We delayed our opening in 2020 due to COVID19 and the impact the pandemic has had on Cambodia, affecting international travel and severely limiting the number of business and leisure travelers to Phnom Penh,” said Mr Kemp. “This delay has allowed ample time for enhanced hygiene and guest safety measures.”
