Hotels & Holidays: Rosewood Phnom Penh Welcomes Andrew Moore as Managing Director, Signalling a New Era for Cambodia’s Luxury Hospitality Scene

Rosewood Phnom Penh welcomes acclaimed hotelier Andrew Moore as Managing Director, ushering in a new chapter for one of Cambodia’s most prestigious luxury hotels.

One of Cambodia’s most prestigious luxury hotels is entering an exciting new chapter.

Rosewood Phnom Penh has announced the appointment of Andrew Moore as its new Managing Director, bringing more than two decades of international luxury hospitality experience to one of Southeast Asia’s most celebrated urban retreats.

Joining the hotel on 25 June 2026, Moore arrives at a pivotal moment as Rosewood Phnom Penh continues to strengthen its reputation as a leading luxury destination in the region. His appointment reflects the property’s continued commitment to delivering world-class hospitality while showcasing Cambodia’s growing prominence on the global luxury travel map.

Andrew Moore is no stranger to defining moments in luxury hospitality. Over the course of a distinguished international career spanning Europe and Asia, he has led some of the industry’s most significant hotel openings and transformations, combining operational excellence with strong commercial strategy and people-focused leadership.

Most recently, Moore oversaw the successful launch of Waldorf Astoria Osaka, one of Japan’s most anticipated luxury hotel openings. Under his leadership, the property introduced highly personalised guest experiences and exclusive brand collaborations that quickly established it as a standout destination within Japan’s competitive luxury hospitality landscape.

Before that, he served as General Manager of Conrad Dublin, where his leadership earned him Hilton’s prestigious General Manager of the Year award in 2023.

Earlier appointments across Conrad Seoul, Hilton Beijing, and Hilton Belfast further shaped his expertise in operations, revenue strategy, commercial performance and talent development—experience that now positions him to lead Rosewood Phnom Penh into its next phase of growth.

Perched atop the landmark Vattanac Capital Tower, Rosewood Phnom Penh has become synonymous with refined luxury since opening its doors.

Occupying the building’s top 14 floors, the hotel offers sweeping panoramic views across Phnom Penh and the Mekong River, combining sophisticated contemporary design with thoughtful expressions of Cambodian culture through Rosewood Hotels & Resorts’ signature A Sense of Place® philosophy.

As Managing Director, Moore will oversee every aspect of the hotel’s operations, from guest experience and residential services to employee development and long-term strategic growth.

His vision extends beyond maintaining Rosewood Phnom Penh’s reputation for exceptional service. Instead, he aims to further elevate the hotel as an ambassador for Cambodia’s evolving luxury tourism landscape, creating experiences that celebrate local culture, craftsmanship and hospitality for an increasingly international audience.

Throughout his career, Moore has earned a reputation for collaborative leadership and empowering teams to deliver memorable guest experiences.

Rather than focusing solely on operational excellence, his approach centres on cultivating workplace cultures where employees are encouraged to innovate, grow and create meaningful connections with guests.

Speaking about his appointment, Moore said: “Rosewood Phnom Penh has established itself as one of Southeast Asia’s most remarkable luxury destinations, shaped by an exceptional team and a strong cultural ethos. I’m honoured to join this remarkable property and look forward to building upon its strong foundation, empowering our associates, creating memorable moments for our guests and residents, and continuing to celebrate the rich spirit and culture of Cambodia through every experience we deliver.”

That philosophy closely aligns with Rosewood Hotels & Resorts’ renowned Relationship Hospitality approach, which prioritises genuine human connections and highly personalised service over traditional luxury.

As Cambodia continues attracting discerning international travellers, Phnom Penh is increasingly emerging as more than simply a gateway to Angkor Wat.

The capital has quietly evolved into a sophisticated destination where contemporary luxury, rich cultural heritage and a vibrant culinary scene intersect.

Rosewood Phnom Penh has played a significant role in that transformation, helping redefine the city’s luxury hospitality offering through thoughtfully curated experiences, award-winning dining concepts and immersive wellness programmes.

Under Moore’s leadership, the hotel is expected to build further on that reputation while continuing to introduce experiences that celebrate Cambodia’s unique identity on the world stage.

Located in Phnom Penh’s central business district, Rosewood Phnom Penh occupies the highest floors of the iconic Vattanac Capital Tower, offering guests uninterrupted skyline views from one of the tallest buildings in Cambodia.

The ultra-luxury property features 175 elegantly appointed guestrooms and suites, alongside five restaurants and lounges, including the celebrated rooftop venue Sora, which has become one of Phnom Penh’s premier destinations for sunset cocktails and panoramic city views.

Guests can also enjoy Sense, A Rosewood Spa, a fully equipped fitness centre, a 22-metre indoor swimming pool and sophisticated event spaces designed for both intimate celebrations and business gatherings.

Together, these experiences embody Rosewood’s commitment to creating immersive stays that reflect the culture, character and spirit of each destination.

Andrew Moore’s appointment signals more than a leadership transition—it reflects Rosewood Phnom Penh’s continued investment in personalised luxury, exceptional service and meaningful hospitality.

With an accomplished international hotelier now at the helm, the property is well positioned to strengthen its standing among Southeast Asia’s finest urban luxury hotels while continuing to showcase Cambodia as an increasingly compelling destination for sophisticated global travellers.

For guests seeking elevated experiences where thoughtful service meets authentic local culture, Rosewood Phnom Penh’s next chapter promises to be one worth watching.
