Phnom Penh Phokeethra
French colonial grandeur meets Khmer warmth. Think hardwood floors, ceiling fans, deep armchairs and complimentary minibars — not a boutique experiment, but a polished, confident grande dame hotel that knows exactly what it is.

Why It Matters
First hotel in Phnom Penh and first Accor property in Cambodia to achieve Green Globe certification (re-certified in 2025). The attached Phokeethra Sports Club — with four tennis courts, two squash courts, a club pool, and a full fitness class schedule — is the best sports facility of any city hotel in Cambodia. Add four destination restaurants and a Cigar Chamber above the bar, and you have a hotel that genuinely earns its five stars.
A 12-story French colonial landmark on Sothearos Boulevard beside the Bassac River, the Sofitel Phnom Penh Phokeethra is the city's benchmark luxury address. The 201 rooms sit inside landscaped gardens filled with palm trees and birdsong — rare breathing space in a capital that's building upward fast. Four serious restaurants, two pools, a full sports club with tennis and squash, and the Sofitel Spa make it genuinely self-contained, and it's a short tuk-tuk ride to the Royal Palace and National Museum.
Where You'll Stay
