From wine service to cocktail presentation, every guest interaction reflected Rosewood’s core values: meticulous attention to detail, personalised service, and a sense of place.
“Our involvement in the Speakeasy Express was about more than food and drink — it was about crafting a memorable experience under truly exceptional circumstances,” said Daniel Simon, Managing Director of Rosewood Phnom Penh. “Delivering exceptional service on a moving train isn’t easy, but our chefs and service professionals rose to the challenge with precision, poise, and heart. We’re proud to have created something truly memorable.”
