Hyatt Regency Phnom Penh sits in the capital's Doun Penh district, an easy walk from the Royal Palace, National Museum and the Tonle Sap riverside. A contemporary tower is joined by a restored colonial house, giving the hotel more character than a standard city high-rise. Its 247 rooms and suites carry Khmer-inspired details, floor-to-ceiling windows and modern technology, and are supported by five dining venues, a Regency Club, an outdoor pool and Jivapita Spa. It works well as a base for exploring both the historic core and the city's newer energy.
