Learn and Explore Together
Rosewood Phnom Penh is delighted to offer a range of meaningful activities that showcase Cambodia’s unique culture and communities while bringing families closer together through a shared sense of discovery.
Treasure Hunt with Urban Tales
Embark on a thrilling treasure hunt through Phnom Penh. Organized in collaboration with travel experts Urban Tales, these interactive half-day outings enable families to meet locals, see the city’s famous landmarks, wander down secret lanes and uncover centuries-old temples along the way. Blending mystery, creativity and culture, they’re the perfect way to discover Phnom Penh together and gain a deeper appreciation for Khmer heritage, all while having fun as a family.
A Day on Koh Dach
Cambodia has been a hub of silk weaving and other textile traditions for centuries. It is believed that the ancient Khmer civilization began breeding silkworms and producing silks as early as the 13th century. To learn more about this ancient tradition, families can visit the historic silk-making island of Koh Dach. Located on the Mekong River, this picturesque isle is home to several silk-making villages, offering a day filled with creativity and craftsmanship. The whole family will enjoy seeing the many fascinating steps involved in creating stunning finished products – from raising silkworms and weaving their cocoons, to dyeing and weaving the silk itself. The outing culminates at Rosewood Phnom Penh with evening drinks at Sora, where parents can sip creative cocktails while their children soak up the unforgettable views.
Khmer Architectural Tour
Cambodia might be best known for the temples of Angkor, but that’s not the only architecture worth admiring. In Phnom Penh, visitors will find an array of modern architecture that blends distinctly Cambodian traditions (such as buildings on stilts and natural ventilation techniques), with new construction materials and international influences. One of the best ways to discover the capital’s most iconic buildings is on a private, family-friendly architecture tour. Travelers young and old will gain insights into Phnom Penh landmarks and Cambodian heritage as they zip across the city in a breezy open-air remork, the city’s famed motorcycle rickshaws, while marveling at the striking character of the many tropical modernist buildings built in the 1950s and ‘60s.
Chef Nak Home Dining
Rosewood Phnom Penh is pleased to offer an exclusive culinary journey for the whole family with Chef Ros Rotanak, aka Chef Nak, Cambodia’s own celebrity chef, who has made it her mission to preserve her country’s culinary traditions and share them with the world. Ideal for gourmands big and small, the experience begins with a tour of her antique wooden home beside the Mekong, followed by a visit to the bustling Prek Loung Market to pick up fresh local produce. Back at Chef Nak’s kitchen, budding chefs will learn time-honored techniques and recipes during a private cooking class. After simmering, steaming and stir-frying, families will enjoy authentic Khmer dishes with the famous chef. A delicious way to spend the day, this hands-on adventure is one that families will remember forever.
