Multiple-award winner The Plantation has more going for it than location – behind the Royal Palace, in what is inevitably, and correctly, described as the “historic heart” of Phnom Penh; it has grounds covering half a hectare, two swimming pools, and all the other amenities you’d expect of a top-notch 70-room establishment, named by Condé Nast Traveler as one of the world’s top 121 hotels.
