FCC Angkor, Siem Reap, Cambodia

The chic minimalist exterior has become the landmark of Siem Reap Town. Restored from the old French Governor's mansion, FCC (Foreign Correspondents' Club) Angkor exudes an old colonial charm.

Adhering to it's minimalistic theme, the interior is modern and sleek. Muted colours are chosen as the colour palette. Instead of room numbers, each room is named after a spice that is commonly used in South East Asian cuisine. I stayed in Pepper. The bathroom is spacious with a bathtub. Instead of a tap, water flows out from the tiles to fill the tub.

Right outside the room is a very inviting oblong pool. At the end of the pool is a Jacuzzi. And behind the Jacuzzi is Visaya Spa where one can rejuvenate one's tired soul from exploring Angkor Wat.

There is a restaurant that serves good food. The breakfast is scrumptious with plenty of options. Try the local porridge for breakfast, the soup is incredibly flavourful. There is also a pool table on it's ground, as well as a boutique and a gallery.
