The Overview

It makes sense that Phnom Penh's first design-driven business hotel has been a hit among young professionals since opening in 2010—after all, it's run by a successful young entrepreneur himself, Cambodian Kean Kim Leang. From the blue-and-green-lit glass façade to the soaring, pillar-punctuated reception, Lebiz is futuristic in feel. The 27 rooms are unfussy and largely unadorned, but imbued with character, with bare white walls, white terrazzo floors and wood-and-concrete platform beds backed by blown-up photographs of random images such as a stack of stones or a dandelion. There's also a spacious work desk and business-friendly touches like iPod docks and bedside adaptors that allow guests to use the 42-inch flat panel TV's as computer monitors. Relax at Lime restaurant and bar, where signature cocktails like the Lebiz (gin, strawberry, basil, passion fruit) are mixed alongside a graffiti wall mural painted by a local artist.
