Built in 1901, The Strand is a Yangon heritage hotel without peer. It is a stately Victorian icon, beautifully renovated, with two wings center on a lobby lounge with a black and white marble floor. This Asian luxury resort offers large suites with lazily whirring ceiling fans, teak floors and luxurious bathrooms. For a really grand experience, there’s the spacious Strand Suite with its own veranda overlooking the river.
