Overlooking the siem reap river, the fcc angkor hotel and restaurant sits at the heart of siem reap town, just a short bicycle ride away from cambodia's most alluring attraction, angkor wat. (07/06 kt).

renovated from the old french governor's mansion, french art deco embraces modern chic hotel to create an atmosphere of refined luxury and casual elegance.

artistically decorated and complete with contemporary comforts — lcd flat-screen tvs, high-speed internet — the 29 rooms and two lavashly appointed suites all express a modern interpretation of cambodian heritage, mixing clean archetectural lines and soft, suffused lighting with breezy tropical ambience and a friendly, comfortable atmosphere.

catering to an international clientele, head chef daniel woodbridge has created a menu highlighting the textures and flavours of cambodia — think fish amok and cambodian curry, papaya salad and fried vegetable spring rolls — while deftly travelling the culinary globe.
