Palace Gate Hotel & Resort occupies a central address in Phnom Penh on Sothearos Boulevard, at the corner of Street 240, immediately close to the Royal Palace and the Silver Pagoda. Classified as a 5-star establishment, this urban resort-style property combines a prime location in the heart of Cambodia's historic capital with a varied selection of accommodations, from deluxe rooms to spacious suites. Taxis and the Grab service are directly accessible from the hotel to reach the city's various neighborhoods.

Why stay here

We selected Palace Gate Hotel & Resort for its rare position: few hotels of this caliber are as close to both the Royal Palace, the Silver Pagoda, and the Mekong riverbanks, making it an ideal starting point for exploring historic downtown Phnom Penh on foot. We recommend it first and foremost to travelers seeking to combine 5-star comfort with direct access to Phnom Penh's must-see attractions, as well as to families or groups looking for spacious configurations, up to the 95 m² Palace Suite.

Guests regularly praise the quality of the buffet breakfast, the pool set in a landscaped garden with shaded loungers, and the fitness facility described as well-equipped. The rooftop bar, with views of the Royal Palace, is noted as a standout feature of the property. One thing to keep in mind: some rooms may have their view partially obstructed by a bamboo screen; it's best to request a room with an explicitly specified view when booking.

Atmosphere

The hotel adopts a design language inspired by Khmer architecture and cultural references, evident in the names of room categories (Apsara, Royal, Majesty, Palace). The overall atmosphere is peaceful, with green spaces around the pool creating a welcome sense of calm in the heart of the city. The hotel's restaurant and rooftop bar make the property a complete destination, with no need to venture out for every meal. Worth noting: some rooms overlook the interior courtyard with limited views due to decorative bamboo elements; the "with View" categories guarantee views of the pool, the river, or the Palace.

The rooms

The hotel offers eight room and suite categories, ranging from 32 m² (Apsara Deluxe) to 95 m² (Palace Suite, 2 king beds, separate living area, up to 4 adults). Mid-range categories—Royal Deluxe and Royal Suite—are available with either a king bed or twin beds, making them suitable for travelers preferring a twin configuration. The Majesty and Palace suites feature a separate living area. Several categories are available in a "with View" version, offering views of the pool, the river, or the Royal Palace depending on the floor. Details of each category are presented below.
