With origins tracing back to the French era, the building, which stands today, was constructed around a century ago. In the 1990s, the landlord, notably a lady, expanded the premises, adding floors and apartments to the structure. Preceding its transformation into TAO Riverside Residence, the building operated as the Riverside Suites Hotel. Then, in 2018, an enterprising Dutch entrepreneur, who had frequently lodged there, assumed ownership. Under his visionary leadership, the property underwent a complete makeover, emerging as the reimagined and revitalized TAO Riverside Residence.

Now TAO Riverside Residence boasts 11 unique apartment-style accommodations, divided over 4 floors and multiple buildings dating back from the French era with high ceilings. There are 4 Riverfront Lofts with huge balconies directly facing the Tonle sap and Mekong Rivers, a choice from 3 Deluxe Studios’ for up to 3 persons, a luxury business-en-suite room a 2-bedroom family apartment, and a top floor 1 Penthouse Suite and 2 Penthouse Studio's with stunning views over the Tonle Sap and Mekong River. Each room has measures from 50 to 125 square meters (540-1350 sq. feet), has private fully equipped bathrooms with rain shower, 50” satellite TV, air-conditioning, kitchenette, lounge/seating, balcony with lounge furniture and much more.
