Novotel Phnom Penh BKK 1 introduces innovative and instinctive hospitality to Boueng Keng Kang 1, a lively neighbourhood celebrated for its culinary, business, and entertainment offerings.
Novotel Hotels, Suites & Resorts, one of the most well-known brands of leading hotel operator Accor, brings a fresh and lively hospitality experience to the bustling centre of Phnom Penh with the opening of Novotel Phnom Penh BKK 1.
Incorporating a modern, intuitive design, a relaxed social hub, and a range of dining and wellness options, this newly constructed hotel provides seamless experiences, enabling both business and leisure travellers to prioritise what matters most to them.
“The opening of Novotel Phnom Penh BKK 1 marks a remarkable milestone as we proudly introduce the Novotel brand to the vibrant heart of Phnom Penh. This reaffirms our commitment to contributing to the growth of the hospitality and tourism industry in the flourishing Asian region,” commented Garth Simmons, Chief Operating Officer of Accor’s Premium, Midscale and Economy Division in Asia. “Cambodia holds immense growth potential, and we take pride in being a significant part of the country’s economic development. As the ninth Accor hotel in Cambodia, Novotel Phnom Penh BKK 1 exemplifies our confidence in the market’s boundless opportunities.”
The hotel is strategically located in a prime location, just a few minutes walk to Bassac Lane and Langka Lane, two of the liveliest neighbourhoods in Phnom Penh with contemporary restaurants and vibrant bars. It is a ten-minute walk from the Independence Monument and Wat Langka, one of the city’s oldest pagodas. Shopping malls, office buildings, and the riverside area are also within easy reach.
Novotel Phnom Penh BKK 1 boasts 254 modern guestrooms, ranging from superior rooms to executive suites with either city or Mekong River views. The dynamic graffiti pop art walls in every room, crafted by a local artist, not only add a vibrant touch but also narrate the story of the neighbourhood. Guests staying in executive rooms can enjoy access to the Executive Lounge on the 20th floor, offering private meeting spaces for both work and social interaction.
A highlight of the hotel is a collaboration with the talented Cambodian French-Canadian artist, FONKi, who has skilfully crafted a new and modern interpretation of Kbach Khmer graffiti design throughout the hotel. These artworks seamlessly blend the visual elements of Phnom Penh’s iconic landmarks, bridging the past and present.
“We are thrilled to extend a warm welcome to our guests, introducing the Novotel experience to Phnom Penh for the first time. With signature offerings, travellers have an opportunity to take time to connect with family, friends, colleagues, and themselves in modern yet relaxed spaces. Our excellent location caters to both business and leisure travellers seeking a place to unwind,” said Julien A. Péchey, General Manager, Novotel Phnom Penh BKK 1.
Makila, an all-day dining restaurant, invites guests to embark on a captivating Basque culinary journey. Here the ambiance of the Basque region is brought to life with a Makila walking stick display, Espelette chili peppers decorations, and traditional Basque red skirts incorporated in modern art. The menu of vibrant and distinct Basque flavours is harmoniously blended with French flair and includes indulgent dishes like Snail Crème Brûlée, Chicken Basquaise, and Gâteau Basque.
Kaixo, meaning a greeting in Basque , extends a warm welcome to guests on the ground floor. The bar offers a diverse selection of beverages, including Basque-inspired cocktails. For a leisurely afternoon, guests can indulge in an experience featuring traditional Khmer desserts paired with tea, complemented by a selection of pintxos for sharing, creating a harmonious blend of Basque and Khmer flavours in each delightful bite.
After a long day of sightseeing or meetings, a dip in the swimming pool, or an energized exercise at the well-equipped fitness center, In Balance by Novotel, will help to reenergize, while spa treatments at Bodia Spa will balance the body and mind. A breezy open-air Rosemary Pool Bar, located alongside the pool, serves thirst-quenching beverages and a healthy menu selection.
