I hope they have fan rooms for $10. I'd pay it.











Shangri-La International Hotel Management and Oxley Gem Cambodia have signed a Memorandum of Understanding in relation to the management and operation of the first Shangri-La hotel in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

Oxley Gem is a strategic partnership between by Singapore-based Oxley Holdings Limited and the Cambodian firm WorldBridge Land. Under the terms of the agreement, Oxley Gem will grant Shangri-La a 60-day exclusivity period to negotiate the management of the hotel.

I've stayed in three SLs, they don't disappoint.

Strop, I have stayed at a few, in Oz and in Asia, good shacks.

They are. I stayed at one in Kota Kinabalu which was good, had it's own slice of orangutan reserve.

used to always stay at the Shangra la Rasta resort in Singapore on Sentosa island, Fantastic place

plus have stayed at the one in Bangkok and also HK a few times. Worth the $$$

funny; none in Cambodia yet Myanmar has 1 and one coming in 2016

in less than 5 years Myanmar will surpass Cambodia in everything

Not that I could afford it, but out of curiosity how much does it cost for a double?

OP will be so flush with funds when he gets tired of milking the royal camel he will book in for a month.
joiner fees GM?

at Sentosa it was around $175/night included a HUGE buffet breakfast, after the remodel last year think its up to $250
Bangkok was about $200/
much cheaper than the Oriental

BATS Shangri La Jakarta was my weekend party location for the 2 years I lived there. Great live bands, terrific steaks and gorgeous women. Treated myself to a long weekend stay when I was leaving so I didn't have to stagger far. It didn't disappoint.
