Start your lap round the rollercoaster that is Phnom Penh on a high note at the Rosewood. Occupying the top 14 floors of the city's tallest building, the hotel has become a glossy landmark where the views are impeccable (think rivers, royal palaces and temples) and service is exceptional. Behind its coat of steel and glass, the Rosewood satisfies the eye with its 'statement piece' decor, and the need for a quiet haven above the city clammer - the rooms are massive and the Khmer Soak will more than sooth any travel fatigue. When you're ready for more action, the rooftop bar is spectacular at sunset!

The Rosewood is immaculate from head to toe, beginning with its grand lobby on the 25th floor and an artistic touch to each room. Its buzzy restaurants function as a 'who's who' of Phnom Penh (the people watching is top notch), from the moody Zhan Liang with specialties like jasmine tea-smoked ribs to the bright Brasserie Louis, where there's French or Cambodian fare and breakfast includes apple and vanilla cream pancakes. Take your afternoon tea in the festive Living Room and cocktails in the vintage bar. The spa is a delight with Lost Remedies treatments and the indoor lap pool has a killer view.
The rooms at the Rosewood are finely-polished with a cosy palette, Khmer-inspired decor and expansive windows with a lounge area positioned to make the most of the view. White-washed shutters give a nod to tradition while the sleek facilities include a fully-stocked minibar, Nespresso machine and marble-clad bathrooms. The suites all enjoy butler service and as they rise in height, gain a dining area with custom artwork, a private study, increasingly stellar views and a control panel to close the curtains from your king-sized bed.
Enter the head-turning medley of whirring motorbikes, antique architecture and fragrant markets - beginning with the famous Central Market, a Phnom Penh staple where the street food is enough to lure you there for hours. Follow the shining spires of the Royal Palace, a vision of a bygone time, on a tour of the city's history, go deeper into its past at the National Museum or hop aboard a boat for a sunset cruise on the river.
Being well-cushioned in the lap of luxury with the city laid out below, its historic streets in full swing.
The hotel boasts a fleet of shiny, leather-lined tuk tuks, which are ready and waiting to whisk you off to the next market!
This is Phnom Penh at its biggest and most flashy so it may not suit a more subtle taste.
