Raffles Hotel Le Royal Launches Mindy’s, a Pop-Up Speakeasy, in Cambodia

 The iconic Raffles Hotel Le Royal unveils Mindy’s, a pop-up speakeasy inspired by the glamour and intrigue of 1920s-1940s New York.







Bringing a touch of vintage sophistication to the heart of Phnom Penh, Mindy’s captures the spirit of a bygone era through an immersive setting of jazz, crafted cocktails and timeless style. The pop-up will operate from May 7-31, open Thursday to Sunday from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m.


Tucked behind an unmarked door, Mindy’s evokes the discreet charm of a classic speakeasy. Guests can expect dim lighting, vintage-inspired decor, subtle gaming elements and charismatic bartenders who bring the experience to life.

The atmosphere is enhanced by the smooth sounds of jazz and swing, while a dedicated cigar lounge adds an extra layer of refinement to the evening.


“We are thrilled to bring the vibrant energy and timeless glamour of old New York to Raffles Hotel Le Royal with Mindy’s,” said General Manager Dagmar Lyons. “This immersive pop-up perfectly embodies Raffles’ spirit of storytelling and exceptional experiences, offering our guests and Phnom Penh’s discerning crowd a truly unique evening they won’t forget.”


Raffles created a special cocktail menu for the pop-up bar. Highlights include Sky Masterson’s Lucky Flight (bourbon, honey syrup, lemon and bitters, dramatically finished with a flaming orange peel), Miss Adelaide’s Lament (London Dry Gin, raspberry liqueur, lemon and cocktail foamer), and Nathan Detroit’s Hustle (rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, Angostura bitters and cherry candy). For those seeking a non-alcoholic option, the Reformer (ginger beer, lime and mint) offers a crisp, refreshing “salvation” in true speakeasy style.

Mindy’s is open both to guests and visitors, offering a memorable evening that blends heritage, glamour and entertainment – all delivered in signature Raffles style. Reservations are highly recommended for this exclusive, limited-edition experience.

Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor Welcomes New Artist in Residence

  Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor has welcomed a new artist in residence ahead of the launch of a new exhibition of artworks, as the iconic 93-year-old luxury hotel in Siem Reap, Cambodia continues to spotlight talented Khmer creatives. Teang Borin, popularly known as ‘DinArt’, is an audacious, self-taught artist whose work captures and exalts the essence of Cambodia’s rich religious and societal heritage. His latest exhibition, inspired by the majesty of Khmer royalty and the distinguished colour palette of the Raffles Royal Doorman, features vivid, brilliant hues often set against a stark backdrop. “The central concept revives the historical tradition of Khmer royalty, specifically focussing on the Royal Guards’ pantaloons. Historically, the colour of a king’s attire would change to correspond with the day of the week—a vibrant, visual reminder of the calendar and its spiritual significance,” said curator Nat Di Maggio of the local Tribe Art Gallery.
