Pavilion is a small, atmospheric hotel set in a French-Khmer heritage villa on Preah Ang Yukanthor Street, known as Street 19, and it is the choice for travellers who want a calm base without losing walkability. The property describes itself as a few blocks from the city’s most visited areas yet quiet, and it is centred on two big pools, the Lush Pool in front of reception, shaded by tall trees, and the Sun Pool behind it, with a large sunbathing area. Neither pool is heated or cooled. Food and drinks are served through the day, with two poolside lounges, afternoon tea sets in the afternoon, a daily happy hour and complimentary water, tea, coffee and cookies at the Sun Pool. Breakfast is served as an à la carte menu beside the Lush Pool. Rooms range from doubles and twins to studios, suites and rooms with a private pool or jacuzzi. The booking page shows all room types as adults only.
Location and getting around
Street 19 runs through the Chaktomuk and Daun Penh area, close to the Royal Palace, the National Museum and the riverfront. Most of the sights covered in this guide are within a short walk or a few minutes by tuk-tuk, and the area has plenty of cafes and restaurants. Bike rentals are available, and the front desk can arrange tours and tickets.
Rooms
The booking page lists eight room types, including double, superior double, twin, deluxe double, studio, suite and rooms with a private jacuzzi or private pool. Water in the private pools and jacuzzis is not heated. Rooms have air conditioning and free Wi-Fi.
Who it suits
Couples and solo travellers who want a quiet, design-conscious stay with a pool, and travellers who enjoy a spa and gym after a day of sightseeing. The adults-only arrangement shown on makes it a poor fit for families, so confirm the policy for your party before booking.
