Overview

The FCC Phnom Penh, standing at 363 Preah Sisowath Quay, holds a unique place in the city's history.

The building itself has witnessed significant events in Cambodia's modern history, contributing to its reputation as a cultural and intellectual center.While the original FCC closed in late 2018 , the legacy continues with the FCC Phnom Penh Boutique Hotel. The hotel features well-appointed rooms, a restaurant serving a mix of local and international cuisine, and a bar known for its lively atmosphere and riverside views. The rooftop terrace and garden provide additional spaces to relax and soak in the ambiance.Today, the FCC attracts a diverse clientele, including tourists, expats, and locals, who come to enjoy its historical ambiance, riverside setting, and vibrant social scene.
