Spectacular cathedral-ceiling penthouse 3-bedroom apartment for rent in Riverside Daun Penh, central Phnom Penh

Details

Discover one of Phnom Penh’s most extraordinary apartments for rent — a brand-new, internationally finished 3-bedroom, 4-bathroom residence in the heart of Daun Penh, the city’s most storied and vibrant riverside district.

A living space like no other

Step inside and the apartment announces itself immediately. A soaring cathedral ceiling transforms the open-plan living and kitchen area into a genuinely breathtaking space — flooded with natural light through floor-to-ceiling double-glazed glass walls in the morning, bathed in golden afternoon warmth, and by night a dramatic, glittering backdrop of Phnom Penh’s illuminated skyline. Organically curved cream sofas, rattan bar stools, designer pendant lighting and a tripod floor lamp compose a living room that feels more like an art gallery than a home. The result is a space that must be seen to be believed.

International-standard throughout

Every detail of this apartment for rent in Daun Penh has been conceived to an international standard. The fully equipped chef’s kitchen features a full-length island with quartz worktops, integrated induction hob, stainless steel appliances, and bespoke cabinetry. Double-glazing throughout ensures a cool, quiet sanctuary from the city. International-grade electrics, high-speed Wi-Fi, cable TV, and full air-conditioning in every room mean you can move straight in without compromise.

Three beautifully appointed bedrooms

Each of the three king-sized bedrooms is a retreat in its own right, finished with warm timber joinery, glass-fronted wardrobes with internal lighting, wall-mounted televisions, and elegant en-suite bathrooms. The master bedroom enjoys a direct view of the ornate golden pagoda — a uniquely Phnom Penh outlook that is simply unforgettable.

Your own private terrace

The generous private terrace — one of the apartment’s crown jewels — wraps around the living space, offering an alfresco dining area and sweeping views over the pagoda and Phnom Penh rooftops. Whether for morning coffee, evening entertaining, or simply watching the city come alive at dusk, this terrace elevates everyday living.

Riverside: the real downtown

Day and night Riverside is busy. It is probably the real downtown Phnom Penh where the oldest parts of the city are located.

I am referring to Wat Phnom, Phsar Chas, Phsar Kandal, Chey Chumneas and Chaktomuk and the Royal Palace and National Museum of course!

Preah Sisowath (honoring King Sisowath 1904 to 1927 reign) is the avenue / boulevard running along the riverfront.

It starts at the Buddhist Institute near Sothearos Boulevard. Then continues north to the Japanese Bridge where it becomes National Road 6 leading north to Battambang.

Generations of days gone by have left their footprints from Angkor kings to French colonists to UN troops.

Riverside witnesses the confluence of the Mekong, Tonle Sap and Bassac rivers and where the Water Festival is best viewed each November.

It is always stunning, especially at sun up and sundown.

In Riverside, there is a wide selection of restaurants, wellbeing services, hotels, shops and bars aimed at tourists.

Among the restaurants, you will find good selections – German, Italian, French, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, Indonesian and Malaysian.

A personal reflection on Riverside

Street 172 is punctuated with $3 massage joints and bars occupied by grey faces framed with light grey hair.

Yet, just around the corner, Street 178 is now arguably the rising art gallery district of Phnom Penh with the University of Fine Arts a stone’s throw away.

This is the dichotomy of Riverside and the attraction of opposites that makes it such an interesting place!

Friends Café has made a bold statement and the Mansion House seems to be waiting for reincarnation.

Now the Hyatt has opened its doors to the Jet set, it may well be a different designer-schmick precinct to what is currently now.

In fact, when you look up along 172, the standard of shophouses is somewhat ‘better’ than in other parts of the city: it could be the rising star of Daun Penh and Riverside.

In the streets around Riverside, there is a sense that there are too many hostess bars, each vying for a shifting slice of the tourist and expat pie.

Rents will rise with the inevitable escalation of land values and the ROI of each vendor’s patch will become more and more critical as the clock ticks.

Looking at Phsar Kandal and the open block where Prey Sar prison once sat, one can’t help but wonder what’s coming next.

Given its proximity to the river and the 172 and 178 ‘sweet spot’, maybe there is something special waiting in the sidelines, something for the inspired new generation of architects and artists.
