City hoppers used to view city hotels as just a place to retire at for the night after exploring the destination. But this attitude is set to change with more hotels offering better onsite facilities, more enticing food and beverage options or simply, more luxurious rooms. With all these reasons, it would be hard not to stay in. Below, a new crop of hotels for your Little Black Book.
Rosewood Phnom Penh
For a brand well-known for being sensitive to the host destination with its “sense of place†concept, the newest Asian outpost pays tribute to the culture and customs of Cambodia in its interiors and more. For starters, Melbourne-based boutique design studio BAR Studio has given all 175 rooms French window shutters as a nod to its colonial past while modern Khmer art displays welcome a promising future.
Standing at 188 metres, the capital’s finest hotel occupies the top 14 floors of the capital’s tallest building. For unbeatable panoramas of the city, and the Tonle Sap and Mekong River, savour a sundowner in sky bar Sora on the 37th floor.
Rosewood Phnom Penh is at Vattanac Capital Tower, 66 Monivong Boulevard, Sangkat Wat Phnom, Khan Daun Penh, Phnom Penh, T: +855-23-936-888.
