Blending French colonial, Khmer, and Art Deco influences, the hotel’s spacious rooms and suites offer a serene sanctuary in the heart of Cambodia’s vibrant capital.

Rooms shaped by heritage
Set around a tranquil central courtyard and its enchanting pool, the hotel’s accommodations radiate character and calm. The suites—luxurious and deeply atmospheric—unite traditional Khmer details with elegant Art Deco accents. Each is individually named in tribute to Cambodia’s history or to distinguished guests who once stayed here, including Charlie Chaplin, Jacqueline Kennedy, Charles de Gaulle, and Somerset Maugham.

Gastronomy with royal roots
From dishes once served in the Royal Palace to contemporary French and international cuisine, dining at Raffles Hotel Le Royal is a journey through heritage and modern flair. Beneath a magnificent hand-painted ceiling, Restaurant Le Royal celebrates centuries-old royal recipes, modern Khmer gastronomy, and the art of tableside guéridon service.

Icons and indulgence at Elephant Bar
The Elephant Bar’s most storied creation, the Femme Fatale, was crafted for Jacqueline Kennedy during her 1967 visit—a sparkling blend of champagne, cognac, and wild strawberry liqueur still served today. Guests can also explore one of Asia’s largest gin collections, including the bar’s own Elephant Bar Gin.

Wellness designed for harmony
Raffles Spa provides a serene environment dedicated to wellbeing, offering both traditional Khmer therapies and modern treatments. With saunas, steam rooms, Jacuzzis, five treatment rooms, a fitness centre, and an outdoor lap pool, it is a peaceful retreat for restoration and renewal.

A Landmark Reimagined
Amidst the dynamic crossroads where historic Chinatown meets the vibrant energy of Clarke Quay, a storied remittance house once stood—Chye Hua Seng Wee Kee.

Honoring its legacy, 21 Carpenter reclaims its place as a cultural landmark, bridging the past and present with timeless elegance.

Meanwhile, the Urban Rooms, perched in the hotel's contemporary extension, offer fresh perspectives and a striking contrast to the historic elements, creating a stay that is both immersive and inspiring.
