The Pavilion (Boutique Hotel) (This is my 1st choice)
http://www.pavilion-cambodia.com
100 metres from the Royal Palace

Checkin: 2pm
Checkout: 12pm
Rates are inclusive of breakfast, 10% govt tax



"An historic villa transformed into a charming boutique hotel."

LONELY PLANET REVIEW: From the minds behind the über-cool Elsewhere bar, this brand new boutique hotel combines a garden setting with an historic building that was only barely saved from the wrecking ball. The result: a very comfortable and laid-back little hotel..

Deserve a smiley face because of this: The villa is believed to date from the 1930s when it was built for an aging Queen Kossamak, mother of Retired King Sihanouk, who wanted to be nearer to Wat Botum.
With so many of Phnom Penh's historic buildings being pulled down to make way for ugly apartment blocks, the owners of the Pavilion deserve credit for preserving this old classic.
