Dara Hotels Group, part of OCIC, and Germany’s TUI Hotels & Resorts, officially opened TUI SUNEO Olympia Phnom Penh on September 30, 2026, marking the opening of the first TUI SUNEO hotel in Cambodia.

The ceremony was held in the presence of H.E. Huot Hak, Minister of Tourism, and H.E. Silke Röfer, Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany to Cambodia, together with Oknha Dr. Carolyne Pung, Vice-Chairperson of OCIC. The opening marks a new chapter for the hotel, formerly known as Olympia City Hotel by Dara.

The 168-room hotel, located near the Olympic Stadium, is the fourth TUI SUNEO property in the Asia-Pacific region. Operated under a management agreement between Dara Hotels Group and TUI Hotels & Resorts, it also marks the brand’s first presence in Cambodia.

"This transformation is a proud step forward for the Dara Hotels Group. By partnering with a global tourism leader like Germany's TUI Group, we are bridging Cambodia's local heart and heritage with an international network," said Dr. Carolyne Pung, Vice Chairwoman of OCIC. 

“The opening of TUI SUNEO Olympia Phnom Penh represents another important step in the expansion of our hotel portfolio across Southeast Asia,” said Bernd Mäser, CEO of TUI Hotels & Resorts. “Phnom Penh plays an important role in the country’s tourism landscape, combining rich cultural heritage, growing international connectivity and strong appeal for leisure travellers.”

The opening also builds on OCIC’s growing engagement with German companies and institutions: OCIC, through Techo International Airport, has sourced close to USD 11 million in goods and services from German firms including Siemens, Schneider Electric, Peri and Kalzip, while Canadia Bank has previously received financing from Germany's KfW development bank. 

With TUI SUNEO Olympia Phnom Penh, OCIC and Dara Hotels Group continue to contribute to the development of Cambodia’s hospitality sector by working with leading international partners.
