| Shangri-La Phnom Penh |
Located in the rapidly developing Koh Pich, or Diamond Island, district, the hotel opened in December 2024 as Shangri-La's first hotel in Cambodia.
The most memorable introduction, however, comes from high above the city.
Phnom Penh From Level 54
Rising above Koh Pich, Shangri-La Phnom Penh provides panoramic views across the capital and the rivers that surround it.
From Level 54, Phnom Penh appears almost endless. The Mekong, Tonlé Sap and Tonlé Bassac weave through the urban landscape while traditional neighbourhoods sit alongside modern towers and new developments.

The hotel's Altitude rooftop bar occupies Level 54 and is officially promoted by Shangri-La as Cambodia's highest rooftop bar. Beyond the bar is an infinity pool surrounded by tropical planting, creating an elevated setting for dining and drinks above the city.
Contemporary Luxury With Cambodian Influences

The design combines contemporary international luxury with details reflecting Cambodia's architectural and cultural traditions.
For visitors, the result is a hotel that feels modern without being disconnected from its destination.
The property also includes restaurants and lounges, spa and wellness facilities, meeting and event spaces and other services expected from an international five-star hotel.
Its location makes it particularly convenient for visitors wanting to combine a luxury hotel stay with exploring Phnom Penh.
A Base for Exploring the Capital

The hotel is also positioned in an area that illustrates the changing face of Phnom Penh.
Koh Pich has become one of the most visible symbols of the city's development, with high-rise buildings and contemporary commercial projects transforming what was once a very different part of the capital.
Yet the traditional city is never far away.
A short journey can take visitors from modern towers to markets, temples, street-food stalls and neighbourhoods where everyday Cambodian life continues much as it has for generations.
An Evening Above the City
At Altitude, the experience begins with the view.
As the sun sets, Phnom Penh's skyline gradually becomes illuminated and the rivers become ribbons of light through the city.
The rooftop setting provides an ideal place for an evening drink or meal, with the infinity pool and panoramic outlook adding another dimension to the experience. Shangri-La describes Altitude as an elevated dining and drinks venue combining rooftop views with seafood, steaks and handcrafted cocktails.
From the Hotel to the Mekong

| Toum Tiou 2 |
The Toum Tiou II, operated by CF Mekong, offers Discovery cruises between Siem Reap and Saigon, giving travellers the opportunity to experience Cambodia and the Mekong region from the river.
Current 2026 and 2027 schedules include nine-day, eight-night Discovery cruises aboard Toum Tiou II, with routes operating between Siem Reap and Saigon.
This creates an appealing combination: the energy and modern luxury of Phnom Penh followed by the slower rhythm of life along the Mekong.
A New Chapter for Phnom Penh
Shangri-La Phnom Penh reflects a city that is becoming increasingly confident about its future.
The new Techo International Airport, which commenced operations in September 2025, is improving the capital's international connectivity, while new hotels, restaurants and developments are changing the city's skyline.

The hotel provides more than a luxurious place to stay. It offers a high-rise perspective on a capital balancing its Khmer heritage with a rapidly modernising future.
And from that viewpoint, Phnom Penh looks like a city worth staying to discover. Phnom Penh is no longer simply somewhere to pass through.
It is somewhere to stay, and you will always be warmly welcomed by veteran Shangri-La General Manager, the affable Ody Odayappan and his professional and knowledgeable staff.Shangri-La Phnom Penh
