About Rosewood Phnom Penh
- Sora (Japanese for 'sky') sits on a cantilevered terrace on the 37th floor and won the Sustainability Award at Asia's 50 Best Bars 2025, establishing it as Cambodia's highest-profile internationally recognised bar.
- The Vattanac Capital Tower's form was designed by British firm TFP Farrells to incorporate Naga dragon symbolism and feng shui principles — its silhouette deliberately evokes a dragon's spine rising from the Cambodian capital.
- When Rosewood Phnom Penh opened in February 2018, it was the brand's first urban hotel in Southeast Asia, occupying floors 25–39 of what was then Phnom Penh's tallest building.
- The hotel carries Michelin Three Keys (2025) and ranked #56 in Travel + Leisure World's Best Hotels 2025, placing it among the highest-ranked properties ever based in Cambodia.
- Entry-level rooms start at 538 sq ft (50 m²).
History
Rosewood Phnom Penh opened in February 2018 as the first urban hotel in Southeast Asia for Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, occupying the top 14 floors of the 188-meter Vattanac Capital Tower, Phnom Penh's tallest building and a symbol of modern Cambodia. The design by BAR Studio blends Khmer architectural elements, French colonial heritage, and Cambodian craft techniques in a classic-contemporary style, embracing Rosewood’s A Sense of Place philosophy to reflect the city's history, culture, and future promise.
The setting
Rosewood Phnom Penh occupies the top fourteen floors of Vattanac Capital Tower at 66 Monivong Boulevard, the 187-metre landmark that rises from the central business district as the city's tallest skyscraper, its facade sculpted to evoke the silhouette of a rising Naga dragon. Cambodia Railway Station is nine minutes on foot, the Phnom Penh Night Market twelve, and Wat Phnom Daun Penh thirteen. From this elevation the hotel commands sweeping panoramas over the Mekong River, the Royal Palace rooflines, and the Tonle Sap confluence, placing guests at the geographic and commercial apex of one of Southeast Asia's fastest-growing capital cities. 26 km from Techo International Airport.
