Located directly next to the glittering Royal Palace, close to the confluence between the Tonle Sap and Mekong rivers, Palace Gate is the proud owner of one of Phnom Penh’s most illustrious addresses. This setting is not the only regal element to the property however. Built around an ornate French Colonial mansion, Palace Gate’s style and atmosphere also make a powerful impression. Swaying palms surround a sparkling swimming pool ringed by soft daybeds, and verdant courtyard gardens lend themselves to shady strolls.
Venture indoors and you’ll find a sumptuous selections of suites which serve as peaceful retreats from Phnom Penh’s lively streets. Options include the Apsara Deluxe suite, decorated in a traditional Angkorian style with dark wooden furniture, Cambodian artworks and linens embroidered with flashes of gold, and the two-room Majesty Suites with gleaming marble bathrooms and views over the pool, river or palace. For the ultimate in extravagance, we recommend the Palace Suite, a one-of-a-kind, two-bedroom escape in the hotel’s highest reaches with spectacular vistas over the city.
