Upon reaching the hotel, the staff warmly greeted me and took me to the lobby on the 35th floor for check-in. The lift opened to a living room-style space with an amazing view of Phnom Penh.

The wardrobe adjacent to the room door is sizeable enough to stow away your luggage. The room is tastefully decorated with art everywhere. There are plenty of power points, a wireless charger for your phone, and even Bluetooth speakers.<\/p>\n<p>While the room looks fantastic in the daytime, it looks even better at night. Besides the beautiful skyline view, the bed invites you to climb in and rest.

Photography: Sufyan Saad<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Now, let\u2019s talk about the bathroom: it\u2019s so large, it felt like a second living space! You know you\u2019re staying in a luxury hotel when the shower and toilet areas are separate. While glass walls encompass the shower, the toilet is strategically placed behind a full-length mirror. It\u2019s not apparent at first glance; you\u2019ll have to feel your way until you find it.<\/p>\n<p>The bathroom also comes with a tub, which sits just beside the bathroom window. You won\u2019t have to worry about Peeping Toms though, since you\u2019re on a high floor and there are blinds and blackout curtains for this window too. I, of course, enjoyed a nice, languid soak, reading the book I brought to accompany me on this trip.<\/p>\n<p>The brass fixtures are another highlight of the bathroom, lending a nice touch to the entire space. I\u2019m now inspired to do the same for mine at home.<\/p>\n<h3>Let go of the tension in your body<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_275890\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-275890\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-275890 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/rosewood-phnom-penh-sense-spa-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Rosewood Phnom Penh | Sense, a Rosewood Spa\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/rosewood-phnom-penh-sense-spa-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/rosewood-phnom-penh-sense-spa-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/rosewood-phnom-penh-sense-spa.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-275890\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sense, a Rosewood Spa. Photography: Rosewood Phnom Penh<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It\u2019s tempting to remain holed up in the room, but Rosewood Phnom Penh has plenty of other things that deserve your attention too. First things first: the entire 33rd floor, which houses a fitness centre, an indoor swimming pool, a spa, and a <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/nail-salons-singapore-manicures-pedicures-gel-polish-nail-art\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">nail salon<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Sense, a Rosewood Spa, offers wellness experiences you (and your body) sorely deserve. Each treatment is infused with the Khmer practice of using the earth\u2019s resources to aid healing. I\u2019m not into massages, but I decided to have one here to relieve the tension in my neck, shoulders, and legs.<\/p>\n<p>The 90-minute massage was a calming experience: soothing music, a refreshing citrus scent wafting through the room, and a masseuse who paid attention to my problem areas with her firm strokes. I caught myself drifting off a few times! After the session, hot tea and dry mango slices were served. I\u2019ve never felt more refreshed.<\/p>\n<h3>Enjoy active time at the pool or gym<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_275891\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-275891\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-275891 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/rosewood-phnom-penh-indoor-swimming-pool-sufyan-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Rosewood Phnom Penh | Indoor swimming pool\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/rosewood-phnom-penh-indoor-swimming-pool-sufyan-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/rosewood-phnom-penh-indoor-swimming-pool-sufyan-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/rosewood-phnom-penh-indoor-swimming-pool-sufyan.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-275891\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Can you see the dazzling mosaic tiles on the swimming pool floor?

At 22 metres long, it\u2019s the perfect place to relax and go for a dip. The floor is decorated with gorgeous mosaic tiles that seem to dazzle in the sun. It\u2019s a bit cold when you first get into the pool, but you won\u2019t want to get out after a few laps.<\/p>\n<p>The 24-hour fitness centre is just a short walk from the pool. This means you can squeeze in a workout just before retiring to bed. The <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/best-gyms-in-singapore-workouts-fitness-training\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gym<\/a> is spacious and filled with standard exercise equipment. There are towels, a water cooler and glasses if you need to quench your thirst, and even light bites to keep your energy up.

If it gets too humid (or windy) for your liking, just head indoors and resume drinking.<\/p>\n<p>Prefer somewhere more intimate? Make a beeline for Whisky Library. Tucked away in a corner, here\u2019s where you can enjoy cigars and the widest selection of single malt whiskeys. With its leather seats, plush dark woods, and moody setting, you\u2019ll feel like you\u2019ve transported yourself somewhere fancy.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_275893\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-275893\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-275893 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/rosewood-phnom-penh-sora-whisky-library-menus-sufyan-900x643.png\" alt=\"Rosewood Phnom Penh | Sora and Whisky Library\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/rosewood-phnom-penh-sora-whisky-library-menus-sufyan-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/rosewood-phnom-penh-sora-whisky-library-menus-sufyan-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/rosewood-phnom-penh-sora-whisky-library-menus-sufyan.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-275893\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The drinks at Sora (left) and Whisky Library (right).

The Sora .75 is my favourite: it\u2019s citrusy-sweet, and you barely taste the alcohol in it, similar to a mimosa. If whiskey\u2019s your thing, go for The Imperial, which pairs the spirit with Campari, fig, and ponzu.<\/p>\n<h3>There\u2019s no lack of food here<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_275894\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-275894\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-275894 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/rosewood-phnom-penh-zhan-liang-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Rosewood Phnom Penh | Zhan Liang\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/rosewood-phnom-penh-zhan-liang-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/rosewood-phnom-penh-zhan-liang-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/rosewood-phnom-penh-zhan-liang.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-275894\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Zhan Liang.
