Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

Riverside at Sisowath Quay, this three-story corner building is a true house of style. The porous laterite walls of the lobby, the same stone used in Angkor, and Buddhist statues throughout contribute to a cool boutique vibe. Though sparse in services and amenities, rooms are spacious, done in rich red silk hangings and bedspreads in bold contrast with dark wood trim and floors. All rooms have king-size beds. The suites are enormous and worth the extra outlay. All bathrooms are immaculate affairs done in wood and tile, with neat tub/shower units in standard rooms and separate shower and tub in suites, delineated by unique large-stone gravel paths in concrete. Rooms vary in size and shape; best are the corner suites with panoramic views of the river and busy street below. Noisy traffic is the only drawback.
