The hype
Universally praised as the best luxury option in the city, with particular love for the breakfast spread and the 'dragon' architecture.
Rosewood Phnom Penh
$300-450/ nuit
Réservez si You want the undisputed best view in Phnom Penh and a hotel that feels like a high-end sanctuary above the chaotic streets.
Pourquoi les gens l'adorent
- The Sora Sky Bar's cantilevered terrace is the city's ultimate sunset flex
- Rooms are virtually silent sanctuaries despite the bustling city below
- Service is hyper-attentive, bordering on telepathic
En bref : It’s an ivory tower in the literal sense—you are physically and metaphorically removed from the grit of Phnom Penh, which is exactly what some travelers want and others hate.
Évalué par @renaesworldofficial: Staying here felt like floating above the chaos of Phnom Penh. The art collection is stunning, but honestly, I spent most of my time in that bathtub watching the boats on the Mekong. It’s a splurge, but the service and those skyline views are totally unmatched.
Ce que les clients qui ont séjourné ici ont dit
Reality check

- You need a guaranteed good night's sleep (the soundproofing is elite)
- You appreciate high-tech rooms with automatic curtains and Japanese toilets
- You want to drink world-class cocktails without leaving your hotel

Avant de réserver

Génie des chambres
Meilleurs choix

Génie de demande de chambre – copier & coller
“I would appreciate a Grand Premier Room on a high floor (30+) with a view of the Mekong River confluence. Please ensure the room is away from the elevator bank for maximum quiet.”
FAQ et astuces cachées
Tout ce que vous voulez vraiment savoir avant de réserver.
Is the pool heated?
No, it is an indoor pool. While it gets natural light, several guests have noted the water can feel chilly.
Can I bring guests to the Sora Sky Bar?
Yes, but it is very popular. Reservations are highly recommended for sunset, or you may be standing.
Is breakfast included?
Depends on your rate, but it is highly recommended. It includes an excellent buffet plus a la carte options like Kuy Teav (noodle soup).
How far is the airport?
About 45-60 minutes depending on traffic. The hotel can arrange a luxury transfer, or you can use a taxi/Grab.
Is the area walkable?
It's in the financial district. You can walk to Wat Phnom (10 mins) or the Central Market (15 mins), but the immediate streets are busy boulevards better suited for tuk-tuks.
Are there smoking rooms?
The hotel is generally non-smoking, but there is a designated smoking area, and the Sora bar has an outdoor terrace.
Conseils d'initiés
- ✨
The 'hidden' toilet: In some rooms, the toilet door is seamlessly integrated into a wall of mirrors—you literally have to feel for the latch.
- ✨
Ask for the 'Chef's Table' experience at Cuts—it's a secret room inside the kitchen where the chef cooks for you directly.
- ✨
Visit the art gallery on the 35th floor; it rotates exhibitions from Cambodian artists and is often empty.
5 choses à savoir avant de partir
💡The 'Dragon's Back' terrace at Sora is spectacular but can get incredibly windy—hold onto your napkin.
💡Housekeeping is intense: they will wrap your loose charging cables with velcro ties and place them on a microfiber cloth.
💡The lobby is on the 35th floor, meaning you have to take two elevators to get to your room from the street.
💡There is a speakeasy called 'Whisky Library' that feels like a private club, often overlooked by the crowds at Sora.
💡The 'no humidity' claim is real—the HVAC system is hospital-grade, which is a massive relief in the Cambodian wet season.
