Rosewood Phnom Penh

A rare Cambodian high-rise provides a distinctive sanctuary

The frenetic Cambodian capital is not known for its high-rises, so this Rosewood newcomer’s enviable position in the upper floors of the 39-storey Vattanac Capital Tower should elevate it above much of the competition. Its rooms and suites impress with their low-key yet comely furnishings, are kitted out with Christophe Laudamiel bath amenities, and many provide stunning views of the Mekong River. Take time to dip in the 20m indoor lap pool or tuck into the artisanal meats at Cuts, where the charcoal-grilled dishes can be paired with zesty craft beers. But not before an essential trip to Sora, a sky bar-cum-whisky bar boasting further majestic cityscapes if you haven’t had your fill.
