Raffles Hotel Le Royal Cambodia
Hotel Le Royal is brimming with history and authentic Cambodian charm. This extends to the suites, where you’ll find traditional antiques, artworks and hand-made silks. Located in the thick of Cambodia’s alluring capital city, this luxury bolthole offers guests a serene escape from city bustle. After a private Mekong river cruise, (the perfect way to discover the city and its waters in our opinion), unwind with a drink in hand at the hotel’s poolside terrace.
Location Set in the heart of the city, the hotel is perfectly located for exploring everything Phnom Penh has to offer and with the international airport a mere 30 minute car journey away, the location really couldn’t be better.
your room You can expect your luxury suite to be decorated in French Indochinese style and many of the rooms come equipped with original antiques, artwork and custom-made Cambodian silks. Staying true to Raffles form, the hotel incorporates much of its own history into the design of the suites. The personality suites, for example, have been named after and designed around famous dignitaries who have graced the hotel with their presence.
WH Y W E L I K E I T A certain ‘Elephant Bar’ has taken our fancy due to its ability to combine a killer cocktail with, once again, the hotel’s history. Here you can find the hotel’s signature cocktail, Femme Fatale, which was inspired by Ms Jacqueline Kennedy’s visit back in the late 1970’s.
