A new report from C9 Hotelworks suggests a large number of new hotels are due to open in the Kingdom of Cambodia’s capital of Phnom Penh in the next few years.
The Phnom Penh Hotel Market Update 2020 reports there are 313 hotels with 19,337 keys and 523 guests houses in Phnom Penh in 2020.
In addition, the report suggests that there are 15 new hotels in the pipeline with 7,849 keys. Thirteen of the upcoming properties are internationally branded by global hotel management groups including Marriott, Hyatt, Shangri-La and ACCOR.
Business travellers seem to be the target market, which means that the capital “finds itself in a similar situation as other Asian CBD gateway capital hubs like Jakarta and Yangon where hotels are defined by weekday business travellers.”
