Daughters of Cambodia's newest social enterprise, the White Linen Boutique Hotel, opens today. In a country ravaged by sex trafficking, White Linen offers hope to young women who are looking for freedom and dignity outside the sex industry. White Linen aims to provide relevant training and employment to our clients in order to meet demand in Cambodia's growing hospitality industry, giving our clients the ability to sustain their exit from the sex industry long after their graduation from Daughters.
The name of the hotel was inspired by Scripture: "She has been given the finest of pure white linen to wear," (Rev. 19:8, NLT), and represents a counter-narrative to the commonly held Cambodian belief that "women are like pure white cloth that cannot be made clean once stained." At White Linen, we help victims of trafficking see their own value through dignified, rewarding employment.

The hotel itself is located on a tranquil street near the popular Russian Market and features five custom-designed rooms in a light and airy layout. Its breezy balconies and complementary home-cooked breakfasts make White Linen the perfect home-away-from-home for couples and tourists, while its common lounges, guest kitchens and flexible booking options make this hotel ideal for large families and teams.
Beautifully made custom products from the Daughters of Cambodia Sewing Room and the Sons of Cambodia wood workshop and screen printing press are on display throughout the hotel, from the screen-printed pillows inviting guests to "relax" or "sleep," to the hand-sewn laundry bags and complementary toothbrush pouches.
