Avani Hotels and Resorts has opened its first hotel in Cambodia in the historic Foreign Correspondent’s Club (FCC) Angkor.

Located across from the Royal Independence Gardens and Royal Residence in Siem Reap, FCC Angkor was once home to the mansion of the French colonial governor, as well as the renowned Foreign Correspondent’s Club, recognised as a popular meeting place for international journalists, celebrities and travellers.

Following an extensive renovation, the historic property now features 80 guest rooms and suites, a restaurant and bar, two outdoor saltwater pools and a spa.

FCC Angkor is the first renovated heritage hotel within the FCC Collection, with sister property FCC Phnom Penh currently undergoing renovation and anticipated to open in November 2020.
