The Great Duke Phnom Penh Hotel

The Great Duke Phnom Penh Hotel was a former five-star hotel in central Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The property operated for much of its history under the InterContinental Phnom Penh name and was associated with the upscale international hotel market in the Cambodian capital. It occupied a 15-story building with 346 rooms, making it a substantial full-service hotel by local standards. The hotel opened in 1996 as InterContinental Phnom Penh. During its period under the InterContinental name, it served business and leisure travelers seeking centrally located upscale accommodation in Phnom Penh. Its scale and five-star positioning indicate that its offer centered on guest rooms and suites supported by the broader services normally associated with a large city hotel, although the available reference material does not document specific restaurants, meeting facilities, room categories, or other named offerings in sufficient detail. On February 1, 2018, management by InterContinental Hotels ended. The property was subsequently renamed The Great Duke Phnom Penh Hotel, marking a transition away from the InterContinental brand while retaining its role as a large upscale hotel in the city. The renamed hotel operated for less than two years before closing permanently on December 31, 2019. The closure was attributed to financial problems. The brand is therefore defunct. Its documented history is primarily that of a single Phnom Penh hotel rather than a broad multi-property chain, consumer-products label, or independently listed company. No reliable information in the supplied references identifies the property's founder, owner, parent company, current executives, official website, or financial performance.

The property that became The Great Duke Phnom Penh Hotel opened in 1996 as InterContinental Phnom Penh. It was a major upscale hotel in the Cambodian capital, occupying a 15-story building with 346 rooms in central Phnom Penh. Its five-star classification and large room inventory placed it among the city's prominent full-service hotels, with its core business focused on lodging for visitors to Phnom Penh. For more than two decades, the hotel operated under the InterContinental Phnom Penh identity. The supplied reference material does not provide detailed information about its ownership structure, construction history, individual executives, restaurants, conference facilities, or financial results. Accordingly, the documented account is centered on the property's brand transition and eventual closure rather than on a detailed corporate history. On February 1, 2018, InterContinental Hotels stopped managing the property. Following that change, the hotel was renamed The Great Duke Phnom Penh Hotel. The change ended the property's association with the InterContinental brand and established the Great Duke name as its final operating identity. It remained a large, upscale hotel in Phnom Penh, but the available sources do not indicate that the name developed into a wider hotel chain or a multi-property hospitality group. The renamed hotel closed permanently on December 31, 2019. Financial problems were cited as the reason for the closure. With the end of operations, The Great Duke Phnom Penh Hotel became a defunct hotel brand and property. No later reopening, successor brand, or continuing operation is identified in the supplied reference material.
