Avani Hotels & Resorts has opened its first resort in Cambodia – the Foreign Correspondents’ Club (FCC) Angkor in Siem Reap.

FCC Angkor Governor Suite Bedroom

The new hotel, which has seen the restoration of a historic colonial building previously frequented by international journalists, features 80 rooms and suites decorated with vintage items such as typewriters and framed front pages of regional newspapers.

Other facilities at FCC Angkor include the restored Mansion restaurant and a newly built bar, called Scribe, plus the Visaya Spa, two outdoor saltwater pools and surrounding gardens.

As well as its journalistic heritage as the Foreign Correspondents’ Club, the property was also once a mansion for the city’s French colonial governor.
