Malaysian-based WA Hospitality has signed a management contract to manage the Won Majestic Casino Hotel & Resort in Sihanoukville, Cambodia. The 150-key hotel is under construction and is scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2021, in a location across the street from Sokha Vegas Casino,

According to the firm, the property is looking at an 80 percent occupancy in the first year of operations, based on projections. Amenities will include a KTV lounge with advance karaoke system, five F&B outlets, an infinity rooftop pool and a 24-hour fully equipped gym overlooking the beachfront, as well as SKY BAR and club, signature Sky Bridge Restaurant, parking for 300 cars and 150 motorcycles.
SihanoukVille is located on the coast of Cambodia, about halfway between Thailand and Vietnam, on the Bay of Thailand. It is a spread out tourist city for both foreigners and local people from all over the country, though now, mostly just Chinese come here for gambling or work. Three sides of the city are bordered by tropical beaches and islands. Filled with empty beaches, crowded beaches, seafood, restaurants, bars, Buddhist Temples, casinos, hotels, and more beaches and casinos. At several hundred places, English is spoken; and many Chinese speakers are here as well. About 20 other languages are spoken at various guesthouses and restaurants.
