The best decision I made on my trip was to stay here before launching into a tour of Myanmar at the hottest time of the year. The lush gardens and beautiful pool, a cocktail in the evening on the verandah, the friendly helpful staff (particularly at reception), the excellent breakfast and the spacious room all justified the relative expense.

Whenever I come to Yangon, I shall stay in this unique hotel where I... More
