Shangri-La Group has announced the highly anticipated opening of Shangri-La Phnom Penh on 28 December 2024, marking the luxury hotel brand’s debut in Cambodia. Situated along the vibrant waterfront in the nation’s bustling capital, the new property promises to offer both local and international travellers an exceptional blend of Asian hospitality and modern sophistication.
Set in Koh Pich, one of Phnom Penh’s most dynamic neighbourhoods, Shangri-La Phnom Penh is poised to become a key player in the city’s burgeoning tourism and business sectors. The hotel is part of an iconic tri-tower development that rises an impressive 228 metres above the skyline, making it one of the tallest landmarks in the city. From their rooms, guests will be treated to breathtaking views of the confluence of the Mekong, Tonle Sap, and Tonle Bassac rivers, a natural spectacle unique to the area.
The interiors of the hotel reflect a thoughtful fusion of Art Deco, Neo-Classical, and Khmer cultural elements, all while maintaining the timeless elegance for which Shangri-La is renowned. Guests can expect a sense of tranquillity, with rooms featuring warm wooden tones, natural stone finishes, and floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the spaces with natural light.
Food lovers are in for a treat, as the hotel places a strong emphasis on culinary excellence. Kommune Dining & Social Space will offer a taste of Cambodia’s rich heritage with classic Khmer dishes such as Beef Lok Lak and Fish Amok, created using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The hotel will also showcase its signature Chinese restaurant, Shang Palace, serving favourites like Peking Duck, and the rooftop bar, Altitude, set to open in 2025, promising stunning sunset views and handcrafted cocktails.
For business travellers, the hotel’s state-of-the-art facilities are set to make it a premier destination. With one of Phnom Penh’s largest ballrooms, Shangri-La Phnom Penh is ready to host major events, conferences, and celebrations. Meanwhile, leisure travellers can enjoy the infinity pool and spa wellness centre, offering a serene escape from the city’s buzz.
As Shangri-La prepares to welcome its first guests, the opening marks not only a milestone for the Group but also a boost to Phnom Penh’s status as a destination of choice for both business and leisure. With its seamless blend of luxury, culture, and hospitality, the hotel is set to redefine the city’s landscape and provide unforgettable experiences for all who visit.
