Expanding Cambodian Hospitality: The Anik Palace Story


 Tourism took a mammoth hit around the world during covid, and no popular destination was more affected than Cambodia, which has suffered more disasters than most.

The Cambodian Hospitality Industry is rebuilding on all levels to attract more sustained tourism and longer stays. 

At the top-rating Anik Palace Hotel, rated #2 (two) on TripAdvisor as Best Value Hotel in Phnom Penh and #9 (nine) on Trip. Best 4-Star select hotels in Phnom Penh by Trip.com. Group General Manager, Sin Samney (Sam) has expanded the signature property, one of three hotels in the group, to appeal to a wider range of guests. “Guest numbers are increasing,” he said. “Cambodia just keeps on bouncing back.”  

The Anik Palace Hotel is a 4-star luxury and classic hotel in Phnom Penh, Cambodia with 5-star service. It has the appearance of a castle. All guest-rooms and public areas are roomy and designed with a European classical theme inside and out. The exterior reflects the history of Cambodia – dating back to the year 1863 when Cambodia was under French colonial rule.

The property continues to be a popular choice for Australian’s visiting Phnom Penh.  Located in a sought-after area with easy access to the Victoria Monument, Sisowath Quay, the Royal Palace and the Ton Le Sap, Bassac and Mekong Rivers, the Anik Palace offers high-value hospitality with warm friendly service at realistic prices. 

It lies in the heart of Phnom Penh with an obvious caring duty to protecting the environment. The group has extended to a next-door property which was constructed with the same element as the Anik Palace. It will be accessed by a huge archway from the current hotel providing a combination of more than 200 rooms and is scheduled to open in early 2025. It will feature an authentic ground floor Khmer restaurant open to guests and the public. The spa, conference room and the sky bar will be extended to cater for up to 160 guests and will include a wine cellar, meeting rooms, and wellness facilities. The Anik group is also exploring opportunities in Cambodia’s south, a growing destination, with plans to launch a property in that region in the near future. 

Anik Palace Hotel is the third property to be opened by the Anik Hotels Group. All three properties are nestled in the heart of Phnom Penh. First to be launched was Anik Boutique Hotel Rainbow Bridge followed by Anik Boutique Hotel and Spa Norodom Blvd and lastly the Anik Palace. “Management has resolved to increase awareness of our unique brand of properties to become a leading Cambodian hotel group and successfully operate the hotels with local talent,” Sam said. “Extensions to the signature property will appeal to a wider range of guests looking to a carefree hotel experience in Phnom Penh,” he said. 

The Anik Palace was named by the owner in recognition of his love and respect for his wife. ‘Anik,’ is his wife’s nickname which means “humbleness and kindness”.
