Seated 616 feet aloft the cityscape, Rosewood Phnom Penh is the Cambodian capital’s new and shiny ultra-luxury accommodation. Occupying the upper 14 stories of the glass-clad Vattanac Capital Tower, the 360-degree views are sublime. Be sure to reserve a sunset for Sora, a cantilevered sky bar that clings to the tower’s concave upper deck like a unicorn horn. One hundred and seventy-five guest rooms and suites are also graced with splendid city views, some sweeping across the Mekong River.
A place to be—and be seen—Rosewood Phnom Penh delivers modern conveniences while retaining a sense of place underwritten by the Rosewood aspiration to feel more akin to a residence than a hotel. Dark hardwoods feature in many spaces, true to the Khmer esthetic, and colorful textiles bring silk handiwork to accent cushions and are framed as artwork. Cambodian influences express in Rosewood’s gastronomic offerings, too, with flavors dancing across the plates of six on-site restaurants—again, served with panoramic city views.
After city touring, retreat to Sense spa where traditional Khmer remedies lean on the healing properties of fresh ponlei, flower of salt, turmeric, saffron, and boiled bark. Don’t leave Cambodia before experiencing Khmer massage, a “kneading” that releases deep tension. Otherwise, luxuriate in the views afforded by the sky-high, 72-foot lap pool, adorned with tiles that shimmer like fish scales in the sunlight. A fun touch, a fleet of Rosewood remorks (tuk-tuks) are a zippy way to explore the neighborhood; drop-offs within a mile of the hotel are complimentary.
Centrally located, Rosewood Phnom Penh is well suited to guests who want a modern, cosmopolitan hotel with world-class dining.
