The FCC group approached Gfab with the idea of turning what was a thoroughly unprepossessing old hotel, available on a limited lease, as a Phnom Penh base to compliment their property in Siem Reap.

Gfab’s scheme hollowed out the interior of the hotel to create a 4 storey Atrium Space offering access to rooms and treated to a reflecting pool at its base. 88 rooms, 2 F&B outlets, a spa and meeting rooms were to be included. Insufficient time on the lease without the possibility of an envisaged extension caused the project to be abandoned.
