Five luxury hotels in Phnom Penh – and how to choose
Three of the best hotels in Phnom Penh are in Daun Penh, the old center by the river, and two further south in Chamkar Mon.
Shangri-La Phnom Penh · Khan Chamkar MonIn Daun Penh you stay at the Raffles Hotel Le Royal Phnom Penh in the quarter around Wat Phnom, at the Hyatt Regency Phnom Penh on Street 178 with views of the Royal Palace, and at the Rosewood Phnom Penh on the upper floors of the Vattanac Capital Tower on Monivong Boulevard.
In Chamkar Mon you find the Sofitel Phnom Penh Phokeethra on Sothearos Boulevard in the Tonle Bassac quarter and the Shangri-La Phnom Penh on Hun Sen Boulevard.
Our travel advisors’ insider tip
In Phnom Penh you can book the river view on purpose.
Two hotels list categories with a river view, 16 in total: the Rosewood Phnom Penh with eleven and the Shangri-La Phnom Penh with five. At the Rosewood, the two House Suites, the Norodom and the Monivong, look expressly onto the Mekong.
Why it matters: an upgrade brings you a better category, but not a particular view. If the river matters to you, secure it through the category – then it is part of your booking.
Our advice: the most affordable way to a river view is the Shangri-La Phnom Penh from 143 €, starting with the Deluxe Room. If you would rather look out over the Royal Palace, book one of the four palace-view categories at the Hyatt Regency Phnom Penh.
Where to stay in Phnom Penh: Daun Penh or Chamkar Mon
For travelers, Phnom Penh comes down to two districts and one tower.
Sofitel Phnom Penh Phokeethra · Old TownDaun Penh is the historic heart of the city: here stand the Royal Palace with the Silver Pagoda, the National Museum and Wat Phnom, and in the evening the city meets on the Sisowath Quay riverfront. The Central Market with its Art Deco dome is in the district too. Our recommendation: the Raffles Hotel Le Royal Phnom Penh, the grand hotel of 1929, with its Personality Suite and Landmark Suite.
Above the rooftops you stay at the Rosewood Phnom Penh in the Vattanac Capital Tower. Our recommendation for the view: 24 categories, 13 of them suites, many looking out over the river or the city.
Chamkar Mon lies to the south, with wide boulevards along the Bassac. Our recommendation: the Sofitel Phnom Penh Phokeethra, where one of the five club categories brings club access with your booking.
For orientation: many travelers continue from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap and the temples of Angkor. Our travel advisors will gladly brief you on the current travel situation in Cambodia before you book.
Suites and river views: the best hotels in Phnom Penh from the inside
The best hotels in Phnom Penh offer 72 categories, 30 of them suites.
Raffles Hotel Le Royal Phnom Penh · City CentreThe widest choice is at the Rosewood Phnom Penh with 24 categories, including 13 suites, followed by the Hyatt Regency Phnom Penh with 16 and the Raffles Hotel Le Royal Phnom Penh with 12.
Among the largest units are the Norodom House Suite at 225 square meters and the Monivong House Suite at 160 at the Rosewood Phnom Penh, both with views of the Mekong. At the Shangri-La Phnom Penh, the Deluxe Suite measures 135 square meters. For families, the Rosewood has the Penh Suite at 117 and the Family Mekong Suite at 115 square meters.

When it is at its best: from November to February, in the dry season: the days are warm, the evenings pleasant, perfect for the riverfront. This is usually also when the Water Festival takes place, as the city gathers by the river to watch the boat races.
From March to May it is hot and sunny: you visit temples and museums in the morning and spend the afternoon by the pool.
From June to October, heavy showers usually pass through in the afternoon, and the air is clear afterwards. The Mekong runs high, and the countryside around the city glows green. Our recommendation for everyone who wants to see Cambodia at its greenest.
And whatever the date: the suitespot benefits apply in January just as in July.
How long to stay: two to three nights, often as the start or end of a trip to Siem Reap and Angkor.
At three of the five hotels the benefits apply from the first night; the Shangri-La Phnom Penh and the Hyatt Regency Phnom Penh require two nights.
You earn points and status at four of the five hotels: with ALL (Accor) at the Sofitel Phnom Penh Phokeethra and the Raffles Hotel Le Royal Phnom Penh, plus Shangri-La Golden Circle and World of Hyatt.
