Circa 51

Just north of Phnom Penh’s center — about 1 km from the city core — Circa 51 Boutique Residence sits minutes from Wat Lang Ka and the Royal Palace. Close to Independence Monument and Preah Sihanouk Garden, this boutique hotel is a compact, family-friendly base for city explorations.

Only ten individually decorated guestrooms give this place a personal, urban-boutique feel. Rooms feature minibars, LCD TVs and DVD players, private showers with complimentary toiletries and hair dryers, plus desks and coffee/tea makers. Daily housekeeping and onsite massages add low-key comfort.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool and sip at the poolside bar. There’s an on-site bar and restaurant for relaxed evenings. Complimentary wireless internet covers the property. Tour/ticket assistance, laundry and dry-cleaning services, and babysitting/childcare (surcharge) are available to make stays easier.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout, in-room desks and lobby newspapers keep light business travel smooth.

Enjoy local cuisine at the hotel restaurant or grab a snack in the coffee shop/café. Order poolside drinks while you unwind. Rooms also come with minibars for late-night cravings.
