The Chinese House

Dining at the Chinese House

Our main restaurant, the Tepui, is located in a carefully restored 1920 Chinese House by the port, 10 minutes from the hotel. The building is an original combination of Chinese architecture (roofs, doors, pillars) and French colonial style (facade, tile floors). It is amongst the very few houses in Phnom Penh that were not modified and remains in its original state.

Please ask reception for complimentary tuk-tuk.
