Raffles Hotel Le Royal Marks the Holiday Season with Elegance and Warmth
The legendary Raffles Hotel Le Royal, now in its 96th year, opens its doors to a season of memorable celebrations that blend signature elegance with the genuine warmth of togetherness. From heartwarming family moments to refined gastronomic journeys and dazzling New Year festivities, every experience is crafted to create lasting memories.
The festive calendar begins with fun-filled hands-on workshops at Le Phnom 1929. On Dec. 7, guests craft personalised Christmas cards, gift labels and tree decorations. A Decorate Your Home Floral Series on Dec. 7 teaches professional techniques for stunning holiday arrangements to take home, while little ones (and the young at heart) decorate gingerbread men with the pastry team on Dec. 14 and Dec. 21. On Dec. 21, the Writers Bar hosts a refined Festive Afternoon Tea accompanied by live Christmas carols.
Raffles Hotel Le Royal will host several exclusive dining experiences this festive season. Throughout December (except Dec. 25), a sophisticated three-course festive set lunch showcases seasonal ingredients and brasserie classics at Le Phnom 1929. Christmas Eve brings a lavish buffet with free-flow drinks at Le Phnom 1929 alongside an intimate five-course dinner at Restaurant Le Royal.
Christmas Day unfolds with a grand lobby brunch of fresh seafood, live carvery, artisanal cheeses, hand-crafted desserts and the voices of a children’s choir, followed by an opulent dinner buffet of oysters, premium seafood, roasted lamb, foie gras and decadent sweets.
New Year’s Eve offers a range of celebrations: a gastronomic five-course dinner at Restaurant Le Royal, a lavish buffet at Le Phnom 1929 with premium roasts and live entertainment, and an exciting Countdown Party at Empress Room featuring a live DJ, signature cocktails, free-flow Champagne and gourmet bites beneath the stars.
The luxury hotel’s “Magical Festive Escape” stay package, valid through Jan. 31, 2026, includes daily Champagne breakfast, a complimentary 60-minute spa treatment for two, daily afternoon tea, a room category upgrade (subject to availability) and early check-in/late check-out until 4 p.m. (subject to availability).
Throughout the holidays, The Raffles Spa offers a 90-minute Le Royal Signature Khmer Massage with a complimentary Festive Negroni at Elephant Bar—and a second treatment brings 30% off, along with another cocktail.
Raffles Hotel Le Royal looks forward to welcoming guests to a season of cherished traditions, refined indulgence and joyful memories in the heart of Phnom Penh.
