Pokambor Ave
Siem Reap
Cambodia
Picturesque Siem Reap is fairly bursting with boutique accommodations these days, and this stylish hotel built on the grounds of a former French governor’s mansion is one of those options. Boasting an impressive fringe of towering trees that punctuate the streamlined white façade, FCC Angkor Hotel offers design-o-philes a bona fide alternative to the more “rustic” properties scattered around Angkor Wat.
Rooms represent a modern twist on “traditional” Khmer design, draped in classic, breezy textiles and light and dotted with bursts of bright color. Yet the underlying lines remain resolutely modern, and the gadgetry does as well: LCD screen TVs, complimentary high-speed Internet.
Bustling Angkor Kitchen gives guests the opportunity to sample Khmer delicacies fused with a modern sensibility in a stylish setting, either indoor, outdoor or poolside. Visaya Spa allows guests to relax after a hard day of trekking with holistically minded treatments like the “hot stone harmony massage”.
Cambodia is bordered on one side by the Gulf of Thailand, to the West. To the North is Thailand, over the Dangkrek mountains and to the Northeast is Laos. Cambodia is bordered along the entire eastern side and the South by Vietnam.
Siem Reap is in the Northwest of the country, 196 miles (315 km) north of the modern capital, Phnom Penh.La Résidence d'Angkor is situated on the riverside in central Siem Reap, gateway to the majestic region of the temples of Angkor. The hotel is just moments away from the bustling markets of Siem Reap and ten minutes in the other direction will take you to Angkor Wat, the most famous of Cambodia's Khmer civilisation temples.
