Le Royal is a Raffles restoration of a 1920s French colonial hotel and arguably Phnom Penh's best (and most expensive!) lodging.
Opened nearly a decade ago, Phnom Penh's first international-class hotel is beginning to show its age.
This was the first true competition to the Cambodiana, and still one of Phnom Penh's most elegant, though no longer the city's best.
A block from Le Royal, the Sunway lacks the colonial charm of its pedigreed neighbor but certainly not the international standards upscale travelers demand.
Following a remodel in the Spring of 2000 the Monorom has become one of Phnom Penh's best values.
