Royal Group’s luxury hotel on Koh Rong island official opens

The Royal Group’s Royal Sands Koh Rong hotel on Monday marked its official launch as the first luxury resort on Cambodia’s most visited island. The hotel, which has been open since December last year, features rooms priced at more than $300 per night, as well as gourmet dining and a swimming pool. The hotel is a joint venture investment between Asia Travels and tycoon Kith Meng’s Cambodian conglomerate Royal Group, which also manages the Cambodiana Hotel in Phnom Penh. The project received a 99-year lease agreement from the government to develop Koh Rong in 2008. (Source: Phnom Penh Post)
