Highly acclaimed as one of South East Asia’s leading luxury hotels, the iconic Strand Yangon has been a city landmark since the time of Aviet and Tigran Sarkies – the hoteliers responsible for many of the finest colonial hotels in the region, including Raffles in Singapore and the Eastern & Oriental in Penang founded it in 1901.
The three-storey Victorian-style hotel is located in the heart of the city. Its colonial charm is apparent in everything, from the rattan furniture to the chandeliers and the black-lacquered ceiling fans. Each of its airy suites combines the resplendence of a bygone era with all the modern conveniences you could wish for.
Since that time, the Strand has become the social epicentre of Yangon for locals and international travellers, and declared ‘the finest hotel East of Suez’ by John Murray in his Handbook for Travellers, written in the early 20th century. The 32-suite Strand Yangon remains one of South East Asia’s few grand colonial hotels and one of its most architecturally beautiful.
