What we think

Skylark only includes hotels that meet our stamp of approval. Our editorial review for this one isn’t ready yet — but we’re working on it! Below is the hotel’s own description.

Rosewood Yangon will be the brands first property in Myanmar and sixth in Asia. Located on The Strand in the heart of the historic district. It is a perfect getaway to discover the

wonderful landscapes and culture of Myanmar. The hotel will feature 206 spacious guestrooms, suites and one and two-bedroom apartments. Boasting high ceilings and abundant natural light, most guestrooms will also feature patios and balconies where guests can take in views of the majestic Yangon River or the beautifully landscaped internal courtyards. The hotel will offer five distinct dining venues including a residential-style tea lounge and patisserie, a modern Chinese restaurant, a convivial bistro, an intimate bar and cigar

lounge, and a panoramic rooftop bar boasting sweeping views of the city and the Yangon River. Recreational options will include Sense A Rosewood Spa, a rooftop infinity pool and a fitness studio. Meeting and function facilities will include a ballroom, bridal suite, function salon, three meeting rooms and outdoor deck. Housed in a stunning heritage building that was originally constructed in 1927 as the New Law Courts. Rosewood Yangon is the most significant historic restoration project in Yangon to date where great care has been taken to restore both the exterior and interior to its former glory.
