TRIBE Phnom Penh Post Office opens

Tribe has debuted its design-driven hotel concept in Cambodia’s capital. Ennismore, a global collective of lifestyle hospitality brands with creativity and purpose at their heart, brings this bold new hotel experience to Cambodia with the opening of the brand’s first hotel in the country: Tribe Phnom Penh Post Office. The property is a vibrant new creative hub where modern travellers and locals can relax with a like-minded community of entrepreneurs and adventurous travellers.

Bordered by heritage buildings, the Mekong riverfront promenade, and the historic temple of Wat Phnom, the hotel offers a prime location in the Post Office Square District. From colonial architecture, local flavours, and Khmer cultural monuments, this up-and-coming neighbourhood has it all.

The Tribe hotel aims to offer an affordable design-driven alternative for a new generation of travellers visiting Cambodia. Promising an edited hotel experience, the hotel prioritises the elements which matter most to travellers and gives them everything they need and nothing they don’t. As a design-driven hotel, the dynamic living spaces are complemented by iconic design objects, contrasting colours, and surprising details that are selected with comfort and style in mind. This is a new kind of hotel that claims to offer not just accommodation but also to act as a social destination and collaborative space.

“Today’s travellers no longer want outdated hotel services and hidden extras. They instead seek simplicity, affordability, and connectivity in a design-led environment. Tribe redefines luxury to shape a more refined modern hotel experience at an accessible price. We are excited to introduce this one-of-a-kind concept to Cambodia with the opening of Tribe Phnom Penh Post Office Square. With its boutique personality and the socially connected culture, the hotel will become a hub that excites and inspires both travellers and locals,” said François Leclerc, Deputy Brand COO.

The Phnom Penh hotel is a combination of a hotel and social hub. The common areas are designed as the focal point. The spacious lobby lounge is filled with bold furniture statements, allowing a variety of uses for work, play, or socialise. Tribe’s flexible co-working space invites locals, entrepreneurs, and digital nomads to get their work done or plan their next excursion. Visitors can connect with the community over a seriously good coffee from local roasters, or enjoy a signature ‘ABC’ (Awesomest Baguette in Cambodia) and healthy bites from the 24-hour TRIBE EXPRESS.

Its rooms come in six categories, with a focus on functionality, style and comfort. The 260 edgy rooms feature floor to ceiling windows allowing natural light to flow in. Highlight amenities include the Tribe signature bed with a dreamy mattress and premium linens, blackout blinds, Tribe sweat robes, garment steamers, and Nespresso coffee machines. All rooms come with hair care products by KEVIN.MURPHY, which are kind to the environment and to the hair. Its hotel collection is made from Ocean Bound Material, thus protecting waterways globally.

A playground for urbanites, the rooftop houses exciting culinary concept with stunning Phnom Penh views to take in. The vibrant and energetic HEMISPHERE welcomes diners with bold, electric design and a lively atmosphere. Curated international dishes will satisfy taste buds throughout the day and into the night. The remarkably designed bar, Mezcal Mad Memories 21, or MMM 21 for short, is set to become the city’s hotspot to sip signature Mezcal based beverages.

The Workout Atelier is perfect for fitness fanatics in need of burning off some energy, while the outdoor saltwater pool overlooking the Mekong River is the place to escape the heat with a refreshing cocktail in hand. The Studio is a multi-functional space for private meetings and events.
