Located approximately 17km from the airportand nearby Koh Puoh Bridge, the hotel will feature restaurants, bars, a fitness centre and wellness spa, meeting rooms, and an exclusive beachfront club with infinity pools.

According to TTR Weekly, the project will be designed by Bangkok-based Tandem Architects and built by Nath Land Development, a division of the Grand Lion Group. Construction is expected to start in January 2019 while the opening is slated for January 2022.

“With the increasing growth in visitation to Cambodia, the time is ripe for us to introduce a global hospitality brand in Sihanoukville.
