- IHG Hotels & Resorts is partnering with Peninsula Bay Investment Co., Ltd to launch InterContinental Hotels & Resorts in Cambodia.
- The InterContinental Sihanoukville will open in 2028 and include 300 rooms alongside dining and entertainment facilities.
In a collaborative move with Peninsula Bay Investment Co., Ltd., IHG Hotels & Resorts is set to reintroduce the world’s pioneer international luxury hotel brand, InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, to Cambodia. The launch of InterContinental Sihanoukville, slated for 2028, aims to augment Cambodia’s growing prominence as a luxury travel destination.
The 300-room hotel will be located within the Peninsula Bay Integrated Resort development, a comprehensive project featuring several hotels, retail outlets, and entertainment facilities. Spanning roughly 160,000 square meters, the resort will merge modern design with traditional culture, with architecture inspired by the dragon symbolizing good fortune and strength.
The upcoming hotel, situated 30 minutes from Sihanoukville International Airport, will offer convenient access to popular attractions, including Otres Beach, Ream National Park, and Wat Leu Pagoda Temple. Catering to a broad spectrum of visitors, the hotel will feature dining venues, bespoke bars, a luxury spa, and exquisite coastal views.
Bryan Chan, Vice President, Development, South East Asia & Korea, IHG, expressed his pride in reintroducing InterContinental Hotels & Resorts to Cambodia, aligning with IHG’s history in the country and its tradition in the luxury sector. He also emphasized the company’s successful track record in collaborating with owners to create unique properties that match their spectacular locations.
Cambodia’s tourism sector has consistently grown, underpinned by its rich culture and expanding attractions. With the government’s support through a comprehensive roadmap, international visitor numbers surged by 23% in 2024, exceeding pre-pandemic levels by 1.4%.
As of March 31, 2025, IHG continues to expand its presence in Indochina with 22 operational hotels and another 26 in the pipeline. The addition of InterContinental Sihanoukville will contribute to the growing collection of Luxury and Lifestyle hotels in Cambodia, joining the ranks of Six Senses Krabey Island and the upcoming Vignette Collection Phnom Penh Odom, set to open in 2027.
