PHNOM PENH, Cambodia, 17 November 2025: Raffles Hotel Le Royal, one of Southeast Asia’s renowned luxury heritage hotels, is marking its 96th anniversary this month with a charity gala and the launch of a new art exhibition spotlighting talented young Cambodian artists.
The hotel will host a charity gala dinner and art auction on Friday, Nov. 24, at its Restaurant Le Royal. The evening will feature a three-course gourmet dinner with fine wines, accompanied by a live auction of artworks created by the children of Sunrise Cambodia, a local non-profit charitable organisation.
All proceeds from the dinner and auction will directly support the care and education of underprivileged children through Sunrise Cambodia’s various programmes. Tickets are priced at USD96 for two persons.
Earlier this month, Raffles Hotel Le Royal launched an art exhibition titled ‘I Spy – The Magic of Raffles’, which invited guests to look closer at unique details of the storied hotel, a longstanding cultural landmark with a strong commitment to community, education and the arts. The children’s artworks from the exhibition will be part of the auction on 24 November.
As part of the project, Raffles Hotel Le Royal organised an art competition for 25 children from Sunrise Cambodia. Guided by renowned Cambodian artist Chhim Sothy and supported by fellow artists Li Ming Hang and Emmeline Mulder, the children were invited to artistically interpret ‘The Magic of Raffles’ in their own way.
On the recent Children’s Day, five outstanding artworks were selected and transformed into limited-edition postcards, now available at the Raffles Boutique, with proceeds benefiting Sunrise Cambodia’s creative education programmes.
