Hotel101 Global has signed agreements to develop and operate two large hotels in Phnom Penh and Sihanoukville, Cambodia, marking its entry into the country and adding to its regional expansion drive.
On August 20, 2025, the Singapore-headquartered subsidiary of Hotel101 Global Holdings and a unit of DoubleDragon Corporation confirmed it will partner with local developer Canopy Sands Development Co. to construct projects in Phnom Penh and Sihanoukville.
The Phnom Penh project will be built on a 2,033m² site in the Tonlé Bassac district, close to Boeung Keng Kang, with 30 floors and about 700 rooms. The Sihanoukville project will occupy a 4,623m² site within the Bay of Lights coastal development, near the proposed international convention and exhibition centre, with about 680 rooms.
Together, the projects are expected to generate 6.3 billion pesos (US$109.55 million) in sales revenue.
Hotel101 Phnom Penh will consist of standardised 21m² units with kitchenettes and include facilities such as a swimming pool, fitness centre, dining outlets, business spaces and function rooms. The site is near Aeon Mall 1 and the Independence Monument. Hotel101 Sihanoukville will follow the same model and be located within a 934-hectare Bay of Lights development led by Canopy Sands, valued at US$16 billion. The hotel will be within five minutes of Sihanoukville Airport, the country’s third largest, and close to other branded hotels.
Cambodia reported 6.7 million international arrivals in 2024, with growth expected following the opening of Techo International Airport in Phnom Penh on September 9, 2025. Hotel101 said the new properties will add to the country’s hospitality market, which already includes global operators such as Hyatt, Rosewood, Shangri-La, Raffles, Novotel and Wyndham.
Cambodia will be the sixth market for Hotel101, following the Philippines, Japan, Spain, the US and Saudi Arabia. The two hotels are scheduled for completion by 2028 and form part of the group’s goal of 50,000 rooms in the Philippines and one million rooms worldwide across 100 countries. DoubleDragon said the expansion is expected to contribute to Cambodia’s employment and tourism growth while supporting foreign exchange inflows to the Philippines.
