Raffles Hotel Le Royal

In late 1923 and early 1924, the construction of a 55-room hotel in Phnom Penh was proposed, with Ernest Hebrard as architect. A visionary planner, he was in part responsible for turning a small, Cambodian-French colonial city into a bustling well-planned metropolis. The proposal also outlined construction of 40-room hotels in Siem Reap and Hue and 12 and 8-room bungalows in Phanthiet and Djiring, respectively. The tourist potential of the Angkor ruins did not pass unnoticed. Included in the proposal were preliminary estimates for buildings and furnishings for the five sites. Costs were presented in the currency of Indochina (piastres). It is evident that the highest priority was given to the future hotel for Phnom Penh. An integral part of Hebrard's plan was to partially fill in a canal that encircled Phnom Penh's European Quarter, plant extensive gardens, extend the city to the other side of the Tonle Sap River, create a new central market for the city and construct a new hotel to be managed by the Society for Grand Hotels of Indochina.
