About Sofitel Phnom Penh Phokeethra
- The hotel occupies approximately 7 hectares in central Phnom Penh, minutes from the Royal Palace, with landscaped gardens beside the Bassac that give the twelve-storey house the scale of a resort.
- Four distinct restaurants cover French (La Coupole), Japanese (Hachi), Cantonese (Fu Lu Zu), and Italian (Do Forni) cuisines under one roof, an unusual culinary range for a single property in a city where most luxury hotels offer two or three outlets.
- Sothearos Boulevard fronts the Royal Palace's western wall; guests at the hotel see palace rooftines from riverside-facing rooms, a view shared by no other international-brand hotel in Phnom Penh.
- Entry-level rooms start at 430 sq ft (40 m²).
History
Sofitel Phnom Penh Phokeethra opened in 2009 in Phnom Penh, Cambodia's capital, on Koh Pich (Diamond Island) in the Tonle Sap River. The property is set on the island development that has emerged as one of the city's most prestigious residential and commercial areas. Cambodia's French colonial history — it was part of French Indochina until 1953 — gives Sofitel a culturally resonant context in Phnom Penh. The hotel features multiple dining venues, a spa, and an outdoor pool, serving as the premier luxury property in the Cambodian capital.
The setting
Sofitel Phnom Penh Phokeethra occupies an estate-like plot at 26 Sothearos Boulevard in Tonle Bassac, a riverside avenue that traces the Royal Palace's western perimeter and concentrates Phnom Penh's most prestigious embassies and diplomatic missions. Set amid landscaped gardens beside the Bassac River, the twelve-storey colonial-style property is next to AEON Mall, the largest shopping centre in Cambodia, while the Independence Monument is thirty minutes by tuk-tuk and the Silver Pagoda thirty-five. The Sothearos corridor commands golden-hour river light and a serenity rare in a capital, making it a natural address for Accor's flagship Sofitel brand in Cambodia. 4 km from Central Market.
