Overview
An enduring symbol of colonial elegance in Cambodia’s capital, Raffles Hotel Le Royal has welcomed royalty, writers, and dignitaries since 1929. Restored to its original grandeur, this landmark hotel is set amid tropical gardens in the heart of Phnom Penh, just minutes from the Royal Palace and the riverside promenade. It blends Indo-Chinese architecture with French colonial style and a strong sense of historic character.
The 175 rooms and suites feature original tiled floors, high ceilings, and four-poster beds, with many retaining antique touches from the hotel’s golden age. Landmark Rooms open onto private balconies overlooking the gardens or pool, while Personality Suites honour past guests like Jackie Kennedy. Every space is designed to feel timeless, with a curated blend of Cambodian motifs and European refinement.
Dining includes Khmer and French cuisine at Restaurant Le Royal, signature cocktails in the original Elephant Bar, and afternoon tea under whirring ceiling fans. The Writer’s Bar, tranquil spa, and saltwater pool add to the sense of quiet luxury. With service that’s warm yet discreet, Raffles Hotel Le Royal remains a true heritage hotel – one that speaks to Phnom Penh’s past and present in equal measure.
