…And, we are pleased to report, this isn’t your typical chain hotel. Yes, it’s part of the global H World group (formerly Huazhu), but MaxX Phnom Penh has its own personality. But, it’s built for the modern traveler who values comfort, style, and practicality, without breaking the bank. Whether you’re in town for business, a visa run, or just a change of scenery, here’s what you’ll find behind its sleek glass doors. So let’s dive into what MaxX Phnom Penh is all about.

Design Meets Functionality

MaxX Phnom Penh Downtown is a 4-star business hotel, but it doesn’t feel corporate. The design is clean, modern, and warm, with soft lighting and subtle touches of smart tech. Rooms feature automated curtains, smart toilets, and Xiaomi gadgets that actually make your stay smoother.

Room sizes start at 35 square meters for Superior Rooms, going up to 70 square meters for Executive Suites. Many come with balconies that offer wide views across Phnom Penh. The beds are generous, the pillows soft, and despite the city buzz outside, the rooms stay quiet.

Located in Boeung Prolit, you’re within walking or tuk-tuk distance of the Royal Palace, Central Market, and Riverside. The area is central, yet peaceful.

A Base That Works for Business

MaxX is clearly built with business travelers in mind. Guests have access to:

• Free high-speed Wi-Fi
  
• A writing desk in every room
  
• A business center in the lobby with computers and printers
  
• Meeting rooms with affordable tea break packages
  
• Self-service laundry and a 24/7 gym
  

One of the more unique features is Cambodia’s first robot room service assistant, which adds a bit of fun while keeping things efficient.
