SUN & MOON, Urban Hotel is the modern block at the corner of Street 136 and Street 15 — which is to say, at the top of the only bar street in Cambodia that a visitor really needs to know about. Eighty rooms, an open atrium, a lot of concrete and dark timber, and on the roof an infinity pool and the Cloud 9 bar looking out over Daun Penh.
The location is the argument. Walk out of the lobby, turn left and you are among the hostess bars of Street 136 inside sixty seconds; the Riverside is a three-minute stroll the other way, and the Night Market and the Royal Palace are both walkable. Nothing else in the city puts you this close to the scene in a room this good.
Rooms are deluxe kings and twins plus a handful of suites and one apartment: big beds, rain showers, decent wifi, blackout curtains that mostly work. The bathrooms are split into separate shower and toilet cubicles, which some guests like and some do not. The other honest caveat is the atrium: in the wet season the open design lets rain and wind into the corridors, and the sandbags that appear at the edges are not doing much for the architecture. Neither is a reason not to book, but you should know before you arrive in July.
Downstairs there is a gastro pub and a lounge bar; upstairs a gym and a spa with sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. Breakfast is included on most rates and is better than it needs to be. Cocktails on the roof start around $4.75, which is Riverside pricing rather than Street 136 pricing.
Guest policy, as reported by guests and by the specialist directories in August 2026: visitors are welcome, ID is checked and logged at the desk without exception, and there is a fee of about $10 if your room is booked for single occupancy. Book a double from the start and the question does not arise. See what guest-friendly means and compare with the rest of our picks on the Phnom Penh hotels page.
Rates start around $49 and run to roughly $70–80 for a walk-in or a peak-season booking, which for a rooftop pool on the doorstep of the bars is the best-value upscale room in the guide.
