THE GOVERNOR'S RESIDENCE
An elegant teak mansion in the Embassy district, close by the Shwedagon pagoda
Yangon, Myanmar
An elegant teak mansion dating from the 1920's this beautiful hotel is located in Yangon's leafy Embassy Quarter, close to the Shwedagon pagoda and other major landmarks. Its extensive gardens, shaded by ancient trees, are set with lotus ponds and a fan-shaped swimming pool. Spectacular by lantern light at night, they are the perfect place to enjoy the Residence's renowned Burmese and International cuisine. Relax in the library; enjoy a cocktail in the Kipling Bar; laze on colonial-style armchairs beneath the ceiling fans: this is where the novels of W. Somerset Maugham come to life.
