Yangon Excelsior

This recently-opened hotel is set in an imposing colonial building, just a short walk from major Yangon attractions like the Sule pagoda. The rooms are gorgeous, with high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, oak floors, and designer furnishings. The Junior Suite is especially luxe, and includes a spacious living area as well as a large marble bathroom with a freestanding tub. They are decorated in a contemporary style with tasteful vintage touches, and all come with a daily free minibar. Two stylish restaurants, a gym, and a spa round off the facilities.
