Perfect. So, I also wanna know from people who have no idea about the book. So, to a person who doesn't know about the book, how does the name sound?

Only the lobby might have 1984 theme, rest of the hotel will just focus on subtle artwork marking the events of year 1984 . The book is just an undercurrent and a familiar name - which might grab some book readers' attention

And 1408 was a mindfuck indeed.

id be interested to know the importance of the year and what it had to do with Cambodia,
if i was to do some artsy hotel i would do something like "The Khmer Golden Years Hotel" and have it themed and decorated in 1960's/70's when Cambodia was the Pearl of Asia (another possible name lol) (pre-war before all culture/music was pretty much wiped out)
with pictures of all the famous singers of the time like Sinn Sisamouth, Ros Sereysothea, Pan Ron, Houy Meas, and all their Album Artwork etc

A possible problem you might get with '1984' could be motodops and taxis getting confused (I know there's no street 1984, but those dops can get confused easily). Your guest: "I go 1984, street 123, o.k $1?"

And what about web search results? I've no idea really, but would '1984 Phnom Penh' or 'Phnom Penh Guesthouse' pull up a guesthouse with a number at the top of the results?

A further problem I might have would be that '1984' just don't doesn't sound that relaxing.

I'd also seriously suggest you run it past a fortune teller. Not that I believe in any thing like that, but Khmer's can do and you wouldn't want a number that's considered bad luck.

It's not a matter of thick skin mate. Its about respecting the context. If I am trying to have a serious business discussion, while you insist on acting like a 16-yr old, it's just disrespectful.

I know, this is the internet, but let's at least -try- and be adults.
