Phnom Penh, Daun Penh
Raffles Hotel Le Royal
(5 stars)An institution in the city, Phnom Phen’s Raffles has been in business since 1929. Deeply elegant, it retains many restored original features, with modern conveniences like blackout curtains, soundproofing and a spa. 175 rooms also come with timeless amenities such as silk bathrobes, claw-footed tubs, ceiling fans and Raffles own toiletries. Jackie Kennedy once stayed here, a fact highlighted by the hotel in its cocktail, Femme Fatale, which was first created for her. This is served in the popular Elephant Bar, which also specialises in gin and afternoon tea. Then there’s Le Royal, the only restaurant in the city to serve the Royal Family’s Khmer recipes, Cafe Monivong, the Writers Bar and a poolside terrace for wining and dining.
