Mr. Michel Verrot, architect of "Monuments de France", in charge of urban heritage preservation for the French Embassy in Cambodia, conducted a study on that building and helped the hotel to restore it to its original 1930 design. The rest of the buildings dates from the eighties and nineties and where administrative buildings that were turned into their current aspect by French architect Ivan Tizianel.
