Giving back

Raffles Hotel Le Royal grows herbs, vegetables and edible flowers in its own gardens. These fresh ingredients are used in the hotel’s kitchens, supporting a garden-to-table approach and reducing the need for imported produce.

The hotel also works to reduce waste. At the Elephant Bar, the ecoSPIRITS system helps cut down on single-use glass and packaging used in spirits and cocktails.

Local culture plays an important role in the hotel’s approach. Restaurant Le Royal celebrates Khmer cuisine with dishes inspired by Cambodia’s culinary heritage, using ingredients sourced from local producers.

The hotel also supports Cambodian creativity. Through partnerships with local galleries and artists, guests can discover contemporary Khmer art and culture during their stay.

What's nearby?

Raffles Hotel Le Royal sits close to the historic heart of Phnom Penh. Just a short walk away is Wat Phnom, a peaceful hilltop temple that marks the founding place of the city.

A short tuk-tuk ride brings you to the Royal Palace and the Silver Pagoda, where gilded roofs and ornate Khmer architecture overlook the Mekong River.

Nearby riverside boulevards are lively throughout the day. Here you will find cafés, markets and small galleries, along with the National Museum of Cambodia, home to one of the world’s finest collections of Khmer sculpture.

Why we love Raffles Phnom Penh

The hotel is a very beautiful French colonial-style building, built around a gorgeous, palm-filled courtyard that has welcomed guests since it opened in 1929. The Elephant Bar is also a highlight, where you can enjoy the signature Femme Fatale cocktail, created in 1967 for Jacqueline Kennedy during her visit to Phnom Penh.
