Siena Italian Restaurant takes its name and inspiration from the historic Italian city of Siena, infusing medieval charm into Phnom Penh’s modern skyline. Perched within a business-focused tower that hosts Ascott’s traveler accommodations, this Italian restaurant aims to captivate guests with refined dining and sweeping city views at night. Soft, indirect lighting and understated color palettes evoke quiet elegance, while plush seating and ambient music lend warmth and intimacy to the lively office district location. Despite its nod to old world Italy, the restaurant embraces the needs of contemporary business travelers, blending heritage with practical design to adapt to anything from casual dinners to corporate gatherings. Expansive windows showcase Phnom Penh’s urban landscape, creating a backdrop where style meets comfort, offering a harmonious fusion of Italian culinary tradition, thoughtful interiors, and the convenience of a prime city address.
