The Quay stands out among the facades of the many historic, slightly crumbling hotels and restaurants lining the riverside's streets. It's modern, almost futuristic, facade is stark and white. The rooms are beautiful, with low-slung, modern furniture, and big white beds in the panoramic rooms that look directly out onto the river. Because the balconies are cordoned off only by panes of spotless glass, this is the most uninterrupted riverside view in Cambodia. The hotel, run by the same people who own the nearby FCC, opened to mixed reviews in mid-2008. Its design, though clean and simple, is anything but subtle. The designers paid attention to details, and it's the small elements that set this hotel above the rest. The bathtubs are extra deep, and the rooms spacious while still feeling cosy. The Standard rooms, however, border on cramped and for $80 per night it seems like you should get a window -- you don't. The rooftop bar serves half-price cocktails between 16:00 and 20:00, though we hear the service is dismally slow.

Great food - 30th June, 2009
I didn't actually stay here, but I had an absolutely delicious meal at their very hip, minimalist restaurant. Asian food with a modern fusion twist, beautifully presented. They had a really interesting selection of health drinks, as well.A bit more expensive than most, but totally worth it. Great location opposite the river. The promenade area was under construction in January, but hopefully will be finished by now. I stayed at their sister hotel, the Foreign Correspondent's Club. Gorgeous room at the side of the hotel for $60USD a night, including a scrumptious breakfast. Highly recommended, except for crappy service(couldn't check in until late afternoon and poor communication).
