Independence Hotel :

The Independence Hotel was built in 1960 and completed in 1963. Back then, it used to be Sihanoukville's most luxurious and elitist accommodation. While the 7 floors building was the work of renowned French architects of that epoch, the interior was designed by no other than King Sihanouk, the ruler of the Kingdom of Cambodia during that era. The Independence Hotel was definitely one of Cambodia's most reputable hotels and perhaps the tallest architecture of that period, playing host to the finest people and Grand Events.

 Hotel description " Independence Hotel " :

 The Independence Hotel is a historic hotel located 5 km outside of Sihanoukville, Cambodia. The original hotel, completed in 1964, was designed by French architects Leroy and Mondet as a conscious landmark to demonstrate the country's optimism following independence from France. A large white edifice perched above the sea, the building was known locally as bprahm-bpel jawn, or "seven storeys", as it was by far the tallest in the country. During this time the hotel's guests included Catherine Deneuve and Jacqueline Kennedy, and the hotel served as a "show piece" for the Royal Family, with King Norodom Sihanouk taking responsibility for the hotel's original interior design.
