On her inaugural visit to Cambodia, supermodel and catwalk producer Jessica Minh Anh discovered a sanctuary that embodies the capital city's dynamic spirit. Perched atop the city’s skyline, the Rosewood Phnom Penh graces the upper echelons of the Vattanac Capital Tower.
The tower, a symbol of progress, houses Rosewood's fusion of heritage charm and modern sophistication. The hotel, reminiscent of an exclusive estate, stands as a paragon of grandeur, conscientiously embracing eco-friendly practices. Throughout her stay, Jessica delved into the hotel's array of environmental initiatives.
Upon arrival, Jessica was greeted with a trio of refined pleasures: a bouquet, pastries, and wine, marking the beginning of her stay with exceptional warmth. The personal touch of a handwritten note from the General Manager added to the bespoke welcome.
The Mekong Suite, Jessica's chosen haven, frames the Mekong River in its panoramic glory, offering breathtaking views right from the threshold and even from the bathtub. The suite features a generous living space, a regal bedroom with a king-sized bed, an inviting entrance foyer, extensive wardrobe facilities, and a resplendent bathroom.
Diverse gastronomic journeys await, each presenting distinct tastes and atmospheres, with zero-waste menus underscoring mindful gastronomy. Guests can savor breakfast at either Brasserie Louis or the Living Room, ensuring a delightful commencement to the day.
For lunch, Jessica opted for The Cuts, where the culinary offerings impressed. The restaurant's commitment to local sourcing and eco-efficient culinary methods is yet another nod to Rosewood's dedication to gracious hospitality, punctuated by a thoughtful gift from The Cuts.
