SUCH GREAT HEIGHTS

OCCUPYING THE TOP 14 FLOORS of the Vattanac Capital tower in downtown Phnom Penh is Rosewood Phnom Penh, the crown jewel of Cambodia’s luxury hospitality scene.

Vattanac Capital features luxury shopping on the first floor, with brands like Burberry and Bottega Veneta setting up shop. Offices take up the second to 23rd floors, while the top 14 floors of this 37-storey building, as mentioned, house Rosewood Phnom Penh. At its opening in 2012, the building — then only Phnom Penh’s second skyscraper — took the “Best Commercial Development (South East Asia)” title at the South East Asia Property Awards in Singapore in December that same year. It’s the perfect place to house one of Phnom Penh’s best hotels.

Rosewood Phnom Penh can be put in the same category as nearby Raffles Hotel Le Royal (both hotels are a five-minute walk apart from each other) in that they stand out distinctively from the other fivestar hotels in Phnom Penh due to a stronger sense of identity, and the elevated offerings they have within their premises. Its excellence has been recognised recently when Travel+Leisure Asia lauded it as the Best City Hotel in Asia this year.

There are many things that Rosewood Phnom Penh does well, but what truly sets it apart from other luxury hotels is its impeccable service and efficiency, its epicurean options, the sheer quality of its rooms and the magnificence of the Sora experience.
