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.
