10 Mejores Hoteles en Phnom Penh — Ribera del Mekong & BKK1 (2026)

Raffles Hotel Le Royal has stood since 1929 in the heart of Phnom Penh's Daun Penh district, designed by French architect Ernest Hébrard in a striking blend of French Colonial, Khmer detailing and Art Deco. It has hosted a long line of famous guests — Jackie Kennedy in 1967 (her room is now the Jacqueline Kennedy Suite), Charlie Chaplin. After the Khmer Rouge years the hotel was restored in 1997 by the Raffles group, which kept the original feel intact: soaring ceilings, slow-turning antique fans, claw-foot tubs, teak staircases and a tropical courtyard garden so calm you forget you're in the capital. There are 175 rooms and suites, two pools, a Raffles spa reviewers call the best in town, and the famous Elephant Bar, where the bartender first mixed the "Femme Fatale" cocktail for Jackie Kennedy. It scores 9.2/10 — best for couples and luxury travelers who want to soak up colonial history.

Rosewood Phnom Penh occupies the top 14 floors of Vattanac Capital Tower, the dragon-wrapped, 188-metre skyscraper that is the tallest building in Cambodia. It opened in late 2018, with the tower shaped by architects TFP Farrells to echo the Chinese figure 8 crossed with a dragon's curve, and interiors by Hirsch Bedner Associates that fold Khmer silk patterns, silverwork and hand-carved wood into a contemporary art-deco frame. All 175 rooms and suites sit between floors 21 and 35, every one with floor-to-ceiling glass looking onto the meeting of the Mekong, Tonle Sap and Bassac rivers or the city skyline. The entry Premier room runs 50 sq m and starts around $240 a night. The headline draw is Sora, the floor-37 rooftop bar that juts out beyond the tower wall like a dragon's tongue, pouring cocktails over a 360-degree view. It rates 9.3/10 from real guests.

Sofitel Phnom Penh Phokeethra is a 5-star French-colonial city resort of 201 rooms and suites, sitting right on the Bassac River in the Tonle Bassac district — about a 2-minute walk across the road from AEON Mall. The building opened in 2011 with high airy ceilings, curved balconies and colonial archways blended with contemporary Khmer detail. Inside you get four nationalities of restaurant in one place: La Coupole (French), Hachi (Japanese), Fu Lu Zu (Cantonese) and Do Forni (Italian), plus a classic piano lobby bar, two outdoor pools, tennis and squash courts, a full gym, and the large, much-praised So Spa. Rooms start around $170 a night, and the combined score is 8.9/10 off 8.9 on Agoda and 8.8 on Booking. It suits travelers who want a city resort to slow down in, families who need full facilities, and business guests after some quiet away from the busy old tourist quarter.

Hyatt Regency Phnom Penh is the first Hyatt-branded hotel in Cambodia, opened in 2021 in the Daun Penh district directly across from the National Museum and under a 5-minute walk from the Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda. The design plays with art deco in gold and emerald green with contemporary Khmer detailing that reads luxe without feeling dated. The 13-storey tower holds 247 rooms and suites, most with wide windows framing temple spires, palace rooftops and the Tonle Sap river. The talking point is Topaz, the top-floor rooftop bar with a full 360-degree view over the old city and the water, alongside an outdoor pool, a large spa, a full gym and several dining rooms. Rooms start around $150 a night — reasonable for a brand-new 5-star in this spot. Real guests rate it 8.9/10, and it suits couples, luxury travelers and business guests who want a big-name hotel in the capital.

NagaWorld Hotel & Entertainment Complex is the largest integrated resort in Cambodia, planted on the Chaktomuk riverfront in Tonle Bassac, where the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers meet. It links three towers — NagaWorld 1, Naga 2 and Naga Suites — through an underground tunnel, for 1,617 rooms total. Inside sits the country's biggest casino, open 24 hours, along with 27 restaurants, bars and clubs: Cantonese dim sum, Japanese sushi, Thai, Korean, Italian, an international buffet, and the late-night club Darlin' Darlin'. Add a spa, gym, outdoor pools, bowling, karaoke and the Naga concert arena. The handiest perk is a free PNH airport shuttle every 30 minutes — about 25 minutes each way. It's a 15-minute walk to Riverside and Independence Monument. Rooms start around $77 and run to $230 for a river-view suite. It scores 8.5/10 on Agoda and 8.4 on Booking — best for nightlife lovers, casino players and families who want everything in one place.

Palace Gate Hotel & Resort by EHM is a 5-star boutique of about 55 suites hidden behind the mustard-yellow wall of the Royal Palace. It runs out of a white colonial building that EHM (Erawan Hospitality Management) restored from a Khmer noble's home dating to the 1900s. The draw is the entry-level suite — a wide 50 square metres with a small kitchen, microwave and full-size fridge, built more for a longer stay than a standard hotel room. The central courtyard is a tropical garden of palms with a pool shaded by old trees, and the spot reviewers rate highest is the rooftop bar Topaz, which looks straight at the golden spires of the palace. Rates start around $100 a night for a 5-star this close to the palace, and real guests give it 9.0 on Agoda and 8.9 on Booking — one of the best luxury-tier deals in Southeast Asia. Our overall score is 9.0/10.

The Plantation Urban Resort & Spa is an 84-room colonial boutique tucked inside a tropical garden in the Daun Penh district of central Phnom Penh, about 200m from the Royal Palace — a few minutes on foot. Three French-colonial buildings wrap a 20m natural stone pool, anchored by the eye-catching red Red Pool Bar, a full spa in a quiet setting, and an on-site shop selling local Khmer goods. Rooms mix colonial and modern touches, from the well-priced Garden Room at around $60 up to a suite with a private balcony and Jacuzzi near $157. Real guests consistently praise the oasis-in-the-city feel and the warm service, with a 9.3/10 on Booking and 8.8/10 on Agoda. It suits couples and culture-minded travelers who want to stay close to the real sights without endless transfers.

The Pavilion is an adults-only boutique of just 36 rooms hidden inside a pair of near-century-old French colonial villas in the heart of Phnom Penh's Daun Penh district, about a 4-minute walk from the Royal Palace. Step through the iron gate and you fall into another world — a green tropical garden, slow-trickling fountains, and 4 small pools scattered through different corners. Many rooms hide a plunge pool or a private pool behind wooden balcony doors. Interiors run cream and teak with Khmer textiles and antiques that tell the Indochine story without overdoing it. Real reviews single out the warm staff who remember guests by name, the made-to-order breakfast, and a stillness that is genuinely rare downtown. Rates start around $54 a night and run to roughly $137 for a private-pool suite. With 9.4 on Booking and 9.1 on Agoda — a 9.1/10 average — it suits couples, honeymooners, and grown-up travelers after a hidden city oasis.

Patio Hotel & Urban Resort is a 45-room boutique in BKK1, the expat-driven heart of Phnom Penh, where French restaurants, Paris-style cafes and small cocktail bars spill onto the pavement and keep you wandering well into the night. What sets it apart from other hotels in its class is the 7th-floor infinity pool — the edge looks like it pours straight into the city skyline — plus a sky bar that opens in the evening for a drink as the sun drops over the rivers. Rooms run mid-scale boutique: warm tones, wood grain and contemporary Khmer fabrics worked in as small details. Rates start at just $40 a night and reach about $91 in high season, which makes this a popular pick for travelers who want a comfortable, design-led stay on a budget that still adds up. The combined guest score sits at 8.7/10 across both Agoda and Booking — steady satisfaction, not a fluke.

Amanjaya Pancam Suites Hotel is a 21-suite boutique on Sisowath Quay, the riverside strip of Phnom Penh, parked directly across from the point where the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers meet — the spot Khmers call Chaktomuk, or "four faces." The building is French colonial, fully renovated in 2020, and every room is dressed in dark rosewood furniture and traditional Khmer silk, with high ceilings, real wood floors, and river-facing rooms that come with a private balcony for watching boats pass all day. The rooftop Kwest Brasserie & Bar pulls in consistent praise for its two-river sunset view. You can walk to the Royal Palace, the National Museum, and the riverside night market in minutes; the airport sits 35–45 minutes away by car. Rooms start around $51 a night, it scores 8.5/10, and it suits couples and culture travelers who want a riverside boutique over a big chain.
