The Strand
Today, after decades of decrepitude followed by a Herculean refurbishment, the Strand is back, the hotel bar providing the natural gathering place for the city’s entrepreneurial class, such as it is, and the guest rooms serving as a security blanket of Western luxury for foreign travelers on expeditions to what may be one of the last vestiges of a pre-industrial Southeast Asia. It’s a vision in ivory white and polished hardwoods, a stark contrast to the backdrop of the city of Yangon, and something of a time machine, offering an uncanny window into the city's colonial past.
How to get there:
The Strand is located 30 minutes (20 km) from Yangon International Airport (RGN). Kindly note that a Visa is required for entry into Myanmar.

Wonderful old atmosphere and great service.
The hotel was an absolute delight. The rooms were large with extremely high ceilings and the i-pod speakers added a nice modern touch to the elegant colonial style room. We also received a complimentary bottle of white wine. The hotel staff were polite and very helpful. They booked our flight tickets to Bagan after we weren't able to do so on the internet (you'd have to physically go to the airline's office to pick up the tickets).
Old colonial look. Decoration, high ceilings.
my room was a vision of modern colonial splendour, the floorboards, the ceiling fans, the gauzy neutral fabrics. The butler service each floor was really useful as well
