This beautifully crafted all suite hotel was opened in 1901 by the Sarkies brothers when the city was then called Rangoon and was occupied by the british. The hotel was one of the grandest hotel in the far east and was by far the best in Rangoon. Now it still is and it has still got it's colonial style just... more

very oldfashioned hotel, excellent service, very quiet, good value for money, no swimmingpool more

We stayed there for just one night as we were passing through Yangon. The place drips with history. Our room was great. Bedroom, sitting room, and bathroom were all huge. You will be overwhelmed by the amount of staff they have. You have your own personal butler. Breakfast was included in our room and it was great. The hotel is... more

The property is beautifuly restored and the service... more

Service is excellent, the rooms are large and of a very high standard, and the restaurants very good. However, there is no garden to relax in, nor a swimming pool. And rooms ate... more
