FCC Angkor by Avani: A Gateway to Angkor’s Wonders

Set in the heart of Siem Reap’s historic French Quarter, FCC Angkor by Avani has long been the gathering place for foreign correspondents and archaeologists drawn to Angkor’s epic past. Just minutes from the legendary temple complex, this heritage-inspired retreat blends colonial charm with contemporary comfort. Guests will enjoy two nights in an elegantly appointed room with a complimentary upgrade, daily breakfast and an explorer’s kit to enhance their journey.

Mornings begin with a guided meditation led by a local monk, setting the tone for a day of discovery. Travelling by vintage Jeep or Vespa, guests will uncover the secrets of Angkor Thom, the enigmatic Bayon Temple, and Ta Prohm, famously entwined with ancient tree roots, as seen in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. A private Cambodian lunch overlooking the royal Srah Srang reservoir offers a rare and exclusive dining experience within the temple grounds. Back at the hotel, afternoons unfold with a herbal tea tasting hosted by local entrepreneur Unn Pari Sophary, founder of the Herbal Kulen brand.
