Competition: win a three-night stay at FCC Angkor in Cambodia
In our latest competition, we're offering our readers the chance to stay at FCC Angkor, a hotel located at the heart of the historic Siem Reap area in Cambodia.
This competition has now closed. Congratulations to the winner, who is Hedwig Saam from Utrecht, the Netherlands.
The recently renovated resort boasts 80 new guest rooms, a pool, spa and wellness area surrounded by verdant landscapes. It is situated at the gate of UNESCO world heritage site Angkor Wat.
One lucky winner and their guest will be invited to stay for three nights in a deluxe room, including a half-day tour of the Angkor Wat temples, a set dinner at the hotel's restaurant and round trips from the airport.
Ideal for outgoing travellers, guests can expect an authentic experience at the heart of Siem Reap. Venture to lively nearby markets and Pub Street – a tourist spot lined with bars and restaurants which transform at night with music and parties.
The famous site of Angkor Wat nearby encompasses 1.6 million square-metres of ruins and temples dating from the 12th to 15th centuries.
Known to be Cambodia's prime tourist attraction, the temples are located just 10 minutes drive from the hotel.
Ta Prohm, a Bayon-style temple with its entrance framed by overgrown tree roots, is one of many found within the Angkor Wat complex.
Its visually striking appearance has made it a tourist favourite, and it has appeared in movies such as Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.
"The hotel creates an inspiring ambience for remarkable experiences and unforgettable stories in the heart of Siem Reap," states the hotel.
"It evokes the timelessness of Siem Reap, combining the elegance of the past with a modern edge in the gateway to Angkor."
Accents of European-style decorations are dotted around FCC Angkor's main building.
Alongside the selection of local contemporary art, the interior brings together the western architectural aesthetic with the nearby heritage sites of Siem Reap.
As part of the multi-million-pound renovation, a total of 80 rooms were either refurbished or constructed, in the same colonial style as the hotel's exterior.
The deluxe rooms, where the winner and their guest will stay, are found on the ground and second floors. Each room is decorated in earthy tones and textures, with its own balcony or terrace overlooking the gardens by the pool.
The hotel's new bar, called Scribe, offers guests a place to relax with a signature cocktail and enjoy an authentic Cambodian menu prepared using fresh, locally grown ingredients.
The Mansion restaurant was also overhauled in the renovation. It offers a menu of Asian fusion dishes which can be served inside the botanical, planted interior or underneath ancient overhanging trees outdoors.
Other new leisure-areas for guests to enjoy include the pedestrian bridge connecting Mansion to the hotel, an outdoor pool, a spa and a library, where they can mingle and take in the lush green landscape.
Surrounded by the cultural and historic hotspots of Siem Reap, guests can experience an adventurous stay from the comfort of FCC Angkor.
The hotel opened its doors this summer, joining over 20 properties managed by Avani around the world and is available to book online.
One winner and a guest will enjoy a three-night stay at FCC Angkor, with a half-day tour of Angkor Wat, a set dinner at Mansion and airport transfers included in the prize.
Competition closes 14 November 2019. One winner will be selected at random and notified by email, and his or her name will be published at the top of this page. Terms and conditions apply. Flights not included.
