Top 10 hotels, hostels and B&Bs near Angkor Wat, C
On the riverside in one of Siem Reap's most distinctive buildings, the FCC or Foreign Correspondents' Club wasn't a hang-out for reporters like its Phnom Penh sister property but was the old French governor's mansion. It still boasts colonial charm, with ceiling fans, shutters and retro sofas; however, the accommodation, in adjoining low-rise buildings, is by contrast sleek and contemporary. Recently refurbished minimalist rooms overlook a garden or the swimming pool.

GUIDE TO ANGKOR AND SIEM REAP
This Foreign Correspondence Club hotel, located minutes from the Angkor Wat temples, is a beautiful Art Deco building with a great chunk of history to go with it. The French Governor's former mansion has been turned into a pretty hotel with LCD TVs in its 29 rooms and two suites. The Visaya Spa has plenty of pampering treats on its menu. It's surprisingly affordable.
