BANGKOK, 8 August 2019: Following the renovation of one of Siem Reap’s iconic colonial buildings the historic FCC Mansion has reopened branded FCC Angkor managed by Avani Hotels & Resorts.
Located across from the Royal Independence Gardens and Royal Residence, FCC Angkor was once home to the French colonial governor and later on the Foreign Correspondents Club.
Once a favourite haunt for international journalists visiting the Cambodian capital, FCC Angkor reopened this week with a restored ‘Mansion’ restaurant, a newly built bar called ‘Scribe’ and 80 rooms and suites.
It is the first renovated heritage hotel within the FCC Collection, with sister property FCC Phnom Penh currently undergoing renovation and due to open November 2020.

Famed Siem Reap Foreign Correspondents' Club Re-Opens as a Hotel
The historic FCC Mansion has reopened its doors as FCC Angkor, managed by Avani Hotels & Resorts, a glamorous resort in Siem Reap, Cambodia

A former governor's mansion and home base for countless news correspondents, the FCC Siem Reap is now a hotel for all.
Today, following an extensive renovation of one of Siem Reap's most treasured colonial sites, the historic FCC Mansion has reopened its doors as FCC Angkor, managed by Avani Hotels & Resorts.
Built in 1917, the Foreign Correspondents Club or FCC was formerly the French Governor's residence, during the waning days of colonial rule. Located across from the Royal Independence Gardens and Royal Residence, FCC Angkor was once home to the elegant mansion of the French colonial governor, as well as the renowned Foreign Correspondents' Club - a place that holds an abundance of history and is recognized as a popular meeting place for international journalists, celebrities and travelers from around the world.
Seamlessly blending traditional with contemporary, the areas surrounding the mansion boast understated yet respectful and effective touches, including a garden-surrounded lobby and a bridge connecting the historic mansion to a newly-built event space. Throughout the property, modern touches upgrade the existing building, whilst the new structures have design features that echo The Mansion's classic lines.

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

I was told by a friend who knows John that he has left Cambodia and returned to the US - he was looking for someone to take over the gallery space 10 to 12 months ago, not as a going concern but as a replacement but there were no takers at the time and I don't know what has happened after the refurb
