Rosewood Phnom Penh | Cambodia

Phnom Penh
Four-StarIndependent

Aurelle Curator's Verdict

Rosewood Phnom Penh is a vertical sanctuary for the culturally curious traveler who wants to be at the pulse of a city's rebirth while cocooned in ultra-luxury. While travelers seeking a sprawling, ground-level resort layout might find the high-rise Vattanac Capital Tower setting too urban, the 'Sense of Place' philosophy here is unmatched. The one signature experience worth flying for is a sunset at Sora followed by a sunrise breakfast of authentic Kuy Teav Sach Kor at Brasserie Louis.
