The FCC or Foreign Correspondence Club once played host to western journalists, archaeologists and dignitaries and today continues this proud hospitality as the Avani hotel. Faithfully renovated in a neo-colonial style, the contemporary interior introduces local textiles and sculptures to provide a comfortable and stylish home whilst exploring the region.

Set in the Old French Quarter, this leafy area of town is just steps from the river and the Royal Independence Gardens, or if you are looking for more action, the lively market and Pub Street are 10 minutes’ walk away.

FCC Angkor offers 80 modern rooms looking out onto a central courtyard where you will find the swimming pool shaded by ancient banyan trees. The Mansion forms the centre-piece of the hotel and houses the relaxed restaurant where guests can dine inside or in the tropical mango garden. The Scribe bar is a great social spot to share stories over cocktails after a day visiting the temples.

Deluxe Rooms have air conditioning, safe, mini bar and free WiFi. Deluxe Courtyard Rooms offer a more open view towards the swimming Pool and a balcony.
