Phnom Penh & Tourism: Plantation Urban Resort & Spa begins 2025 with awards

Plantation Urban Resort & Spa is starting the year on a high note, having received three prestigious awards that highlight its consistent excellence in hospitality, design, and guest experience.

The resort was named Southeast Asia's Best Boutique Hotel by The Times (UK), reflecting its unique blend of tranquility, central location, and distinctive charm. This recognition places Plantation among the most sought-after destinations for discerning travelers seeking a more personal and authentic experience in the region.

In addition to this honor, the hotel has also received the TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice Award, based on consistently high ratings and reviews from visitors around the world. This award recognizes hotels that offer exceptional service and memorable stays, and is only given to the top 10% of properties on the platform.

Finally, Condé Nast Traveler named it the best affordable hotel, highlighting the property's ability to offer quality, style, and comfort at an exceptional price—a rare combination in the world of boutique hotels.

“These awards reflect the dedication of our team and the close ties we have forged with our guests,” said Alexander Scheible, general manager of Plantation Urban Resort & Spa.

“What sets us apart is not only our central location or peaceful setting, but also the attention and warmth our staff brings to every stay. It's a great start to 2025, and we are grateful.”

Guests continue to express their satisfaction. An Austrian visitor recently shared his impressions,

“Plantation is like an oasis in the middle of Phnom Penh. The gardens, the pool, the food—everything is beautiful. But what makes the experience truly special is the kindness and professionalism of the staff.”

Located in the heart of Cambodia's capital city, just behind the Royal Palace, the Plantation Urban Resort & Spa is known for its lush tropical setting, iconic pool, and thoughtful architectural design that preserves a historic 1930s administrative building. The hotel also features a collection of modern Cambodian art and its renowned poolside restaurant, La Pergola. The hotel, whose guests return regularly, offers a balance between tranquility and comfort and access to the cultural excitement of Phnom Penh.
