Arthur & Paul (Men Only Hotel)

What can you say about this small boutique hotel they take care of you like you home. Amazing place amazing staff made it memorable. Thanks to Thibaud and the boy's everything was amazing. My tips ask to Barman Guy an "Emile in PARIS" or a "My Marcel" my favorites cocktails.

WE LOVED IT! It was a wonderful stay. The owner and staff were so friendly, helpful and fun. One of the staff found out that it was one of our birthdays while we were staying there and surprised us with a fruit plate and cake, all paid for out of his pocket.

Beautiful (men only) Hotel & Spa with Garden & Pool Oasis in Phnom Penh's trendy BKK1 neighbourhood ... but: Sorry Ladies, this one is just for the boys! Location – Arthur & Paul is in the southern part of Phnom Penh's bustling cosmopolitan district BKK1, with a dozen restaurants (like Wild and Ma Ma Thai) just blocks away and even the riverside promenade, the Royal Palace and the National Museum of Cambodia within (a 25-30 minute) walking distance. Impressions – Did you ever on holidays stop before holding your partner's hand or kissing him/her on the cheek and wonder if it was even OK to do so? If not, do not ask why such beautiful hotels sometimes only cater to "*** males only". This is truly a luxury hotel and spa just for the boys! The design is wonderful modernist, with a floating spiral staircase as its centerpiece that winds up two stories – an architecture reminiscent of Corbusier adorned by the art of Jean Cocteau. The rooms are all named after famous *** couples (mine was Tom & Richard, as in Tom Ford & Richard Buckley), the art erotic (yet very tasteful) depictions of couples ... ahem ... doing what couples do. The pool is a dream: an L-shaped basin that wraps around the hotel (and long enough to swim decent laps in) with a garden wall of green soaring above it and a gentle waterfall splashing down from above. The ground floor is a half-souterrain and houses the open air restaurant with views of the garden & pool area. Behind this, the spa area with whirlpool hot tub, sauna and steam room. The first floor above this houses the massage rooms and a reading room overlooking the pool ... above that are the hotel rooms themselves. Room – The rooms are ... huge. Not one, but TWO Eames lounge chairs with matching ottomans, a king-sized bed, a desk ... and still enough room for a Viennese Walz if you so desired (Sorry no pics here because TripAdvisor will not let me upload videos, but hopefully others will have posted pics of the rooms) Bathroom – deep, dark stone walls envelope you when you're under the rainforest shower ... a huge sink in between separates the shower area from the separate toilet: lots of room for all your cosmetics and what-nots. Restaurant – A small menu offers breakfast choices that sadly only have European offers - Eggs Benedict is no problem, but sadly no Kuy Teav. Lunch and dinner, on the other hand, offer a choice of European and Khmer dishes.

Your stay at A&P is a joy. The welcome is warm, the attention of the staff, good care for good food, attention and helping to make your stay a great pleasure. The facilities are good, the rooms are large and the amenities are up to date. The lok-lak as a dish is of special interest as a delicacy.

Arthur and Paul is an oasis amidst the busy streets of Phnom Penh. With nicely appointed rooms where everything is kept tidy and minimalist, resting mid-day or over night is completely rejuvenating. Breakfasts are delicious, French-inspired meals prepared freshly for each guest. The spa is delightful and provides a needed respite for tourist-weary or business trip-fatigued patrons. I highly recommend Arthur and Paul.

This was my second time staying at Arthur and Paul (A&P). We stayed fro 10 nights which was longer than last time, so I think that is a strong indication of my love for this resort. The rooms are amazing, as are the facilities. A&P is located for easy access to anything in Phnom Penh, with a very large shopping centre about 5 minutes from the resort by Tuk Tuk. The food continues to be of good value as is the bar. The privacy of the pool and sauna are provides the comfort one needs for the clothing optional areas. The sauna area is available for resort guests at no additional charge, and local can use the facilities for a fee. Highly recommend this resort for men.

Very friendly staff, nice accommodations and a very good service. Everyone was working together to please the guests.We enjoyed our stay very much and would recommend it to my fellow travelers. Open minded and very relaxed.

It was a very pleasant stay overall. The only drawback was that on Nov 11th, a guest was allowed to smoke in the dining area during the time I was having breakfast, which made me feel uncomfortable. Apart from that everything else was top notch. I would definitely stay there again.
