Centred around a lovingly restored French villa, once the seat of the French colonial government, the Palace Gate Hotel and Resort Phnom Penh is as steeped in history as it is decadent and luxurious. Modern accommodation combine with traditional Angkorian style to create a peaceful oasis which is still in close proximity of Phnomh Penh’s main attractions and is mere footsteps from the Tonle Sap riverfront. As the hotel’s name illustrates, the Palace Gate Hotel is just minutes from the Royal Palace Park, home to spectacular palaces and gardens, and you’re also within a walking distance of the Riverside Park and Sisowath Quay.
