The Plantation is a mid-range boutique hotel with 70 rooms clustered in several wings, hidden away from the street by artwork, lovely gardens, and two nice pools. Occupying a restored 1930s French building, the resort sits in the historical center of Phnom Penh, about a 10-minute walk from the riverside and close to plenty of restaurants, bars, and shops. Rooms are contemporary and colorful with open floor plans and four-poster beds, along with free Wi-Fi and breakfast. There are an upscale French restaurant overlooking the courtyard and a poolside bar/restaurant serving all meals. The resort also has a fitness center and spa. While it's a bit large to be an intimate boutique hotel, The Plantation is still one of the better escape-retreats located in the heart of the city. Guests may also want to consider The Kabiki, a less expensive boutique hotel with just 18 rooms and a very quiet vibe.

The four-pearl White Mansion Boutique Hotel is one of Phnom Penh's nicest upscale options. Housed in the former U.S. Embassy, the hotel's interiors are stately and stylish. Teak staircases lead to 30 large and airy rooms that employ a contemporary Khmer minimalism, with granite floors, carved wooden panels, and flat-screen TVs. Some Deluxe Rooms have terraces with city views. There's a narrow outdoor pool and the hotel also has a small spa. The hotel houses a branch of the French Le Cafe Eric Kayser -- it serves a free breakfast, and is open for all-day dining and drinks. Travelers should also consider The Pavilion, an adults-only retreat that offers more colorful rooms at lower rates.

The Rambutan Resort is a lovely boutique hotel located near the Russian Market and the hip BKK1 neighborhood -- full of restaurants, bars, and shops. There are only 19 rooms at this tiny, three-and-a-half pearl property, but they're large with artsy industrial poured-concrete floors, rainfall showers, and contemporary artwork; some rooms have stone bathtub pools on the balconies or in the garden. All rooms include flat-screen TV's with satellite channels, DVD players on request, free Wi-Fi, and breakfast. The resort has a small swimming pool and a restaurant that serves both Khmer and Western fare, as well as a petite spa offering massages. The hotel sits on a quiet street, and is a bit far from the riverside and central historic area of Phnom Penh, but its rates are reasonable considering the size of the rooms. For another fashion-forward boutique property, travelers could try the White Mansion Boutique Hotel.
