Set in a grand colonial mansion that once belonged to Siem Reap’s French Governor, the FCC Angkor by Avani is a 5-star boutique sanctuary in the heart of the French Old Quarter – and just a stone’s throw away from the enchanting ruins of Angkor. Maintaining much of its colonial heritage, the hotel’s architects have also injected flourishes of stylish modernity to create a tasteful balance between new and old, with the 80 rooms and suites featuring views of the gardens, pool or the flowing waters of the Siem Reap River. Facility-wise, there is a pristine outdoor swimming pool set amongst shady tropical greenery, while the Visiya Spa tantalises with its selection of soothing remedies inspired by ancient Khmer traditions as well as its rejuvenating yoga sessions in the garden. For cuisine, you can tuck into authentic Khmer recipes, contemporary Asian fusion dishes and hand-crafted cocktails with two restaurants and bars to explore at the hotel. Every Wednesday and Saturday, the property hosts an enthralling Khmer Royal Ballet Culinary Experience, where Cambodian fine dining is wonderfully complemented by traditional Khmer dance performances. Children can get their thrills at the onsite AvaniKids club, which welcomes little ones between the ages of four and 12, and guests can choose from a broad range of cultural excursions and experiences such as visiting the awe-inspiring, 162.6-hectare UNESCO World Heritage Site of Angkor Wat at sunrise to watch the jungle mists enshroud its ornate Hindu-Buddhist architecture.
