On March this year, we heard the Royal group chairman told the Phnom Penh Post that its Royal tower will begin the construction soon. It is quite a big news and this is a much bigger news that the Amarapura will turn Cambodiana hotel into something bigger and quite impressive like in the picture. No doubt, Amarapura must partner with Royal Group to do this projects since Royal Group own the hotel and the land. This is the only photo we've got from Amarapura website. The project cost $93 million. Amarapura slated that "The site is the location of the present Cambodiana Hotel at the confluence of the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers. As such this is one of the great locations for a grand hotel in South East Asia. The 3.5ha site is absolute riverfront and is in the prime cultural and civic centre of Phnom Penh." Amarapura doesn't give much more detail about this projects on its website. 

* Cambodiana is a 5-star hotel and it has become the Landmark of Phnom Penh city for its stunning beauty and prime location. The building was designed by a renowned architect of that time Lu Ban Hap .
