The Raffles Hotel Phnom Penh is truly magnificent! It is an opulent hotel that fans of luxury accommodations should not miss

Opened in 1929, the Royal Raffles Hotel Phnom Penh is nearly 100 years old. Today, I checked into the 140 square meter Landmark Suite. Its long history, elegant style, luxurious atmosphere, and unique aesthetic have made the Royal Raffles Hotel the leading luxury hotel in the Phnom Penh area for nearly a century! For the foreseeable future, as well as the significant past, this hotel will always be one of the best in Cambodia's capital, Phnom Penh, not just because of the many advantages mentioned earlier. More so because it has a unique royal charm that attracts a high-end clientele, mainly from Europe and America, ensuring that the hotel can always maintain robust room rates! This landmark building occupies an entire block next to the Phnom Penh railway station. To maintain the necessary privacy, the hotel is a separate courtyard with a very large flower bed at the entrance, which is very characteristic of Cambodian style. The entire suite's style is charming due to the mix of Khmer, Art Deco, and French architectural styles, which I think is also the most attractive aspect of this Raffles! For dinner, I highly recommend the hotel's Le Royal restaurant. This restaurant emphasizes a sense of historical depth and local flavor, featuring modern French cuisine and royal Khmer dishes. Each dish is carefully crafted using Raffles' unique recipes and those from the Royal Palace of Phnom Penh, with excellent presentation and taste! After dinner, you can go to the hotel's Elephant Bar for a gin tasting journey! Choose your favorite gin, glass, soda water, fruit, or lemongrass. Gins from all over the world can be tasted here! It's a very special experience that you definitely shouldn't miss when visiting Raffles Phnom Penh! Additionally, the hotel's Le Phnom 1929 is also excellent! Named after the hotel's opening year, this French restaurant has a Parisian bistro style that is vibrant and appealing, with great offerings. The exquisite salmon tartare and the well-stewed beef are both fantastic!
