Yangon Excelsior

I read a lot of reviews when selecting hotels on booking.com but rarely do I provide a review myself. This is absolutely the place to stay in Yangon. The hotel is one of the most beautiful and well appointed hotels I’ve ever stayed in - it rivals beautiful 5 star hotels in London or New York but at a fraction of the price. But the real stand out is the staff - they made us feel safe, secure, always friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Myanmar has significant challenges with civil unrest and yet this hotel - amid great difficulty - stays open and provides an exceptional, safe and friendly experience. So many other large international hotels have shut - it’s a testament to the staff and owners this hotel remains open and running in such a professional way. Breakfast was delicious and we also had lunch and dinner at the hotel - all three I can recommend. I also tried the spa and had a Burma massage and it was great. We loved Yangon and we loved this hotel!

We didn’t stay long enough! The WiFi was patchy so can’t do video calls but the staff, yet again, found a solution and I didn’t find this a major issue.

This hotel is the 'Baby Strand' and located on a side street near the real/actual Strand, which is currently a Rosewood Hotel.....so this hotel is near the waterfront & the India Embassy. The hotel has won a number of design awards for refurbishing an elaborate old bank building and the resulting space is comfy and welcoming. All the staff are keen to please guests and go the extra mile. You will definitely have an attentive concierge service while staying here. I went to the airport to pick up my partner and also make a run up to an airline office near Inle Lake. So easy with the staff here....thry organised it all at a monent's notice and.they even topped up my phone. As for the design of the hotel, the library is amazing and I love to sit in there and read. (Great Collection). I just love this hotel Oh yeah!! Huge bathrooms and bathubs!!! Good views from certain rooms, too.

This hotel is totally unlike other hotels. Housekeeping, restaurant, doorman so friendly so there is NOTHING you will not like. They are perfect hosts.

This hotel is literally a gem of Yangon. You find yourself 1-2 centuries back in time. Very stylish, newly renovated, unique interior, special attention to details. Hotel team demonstrates service standard, they make your stay memorable and treat as a very valued guest. They kindly arranged airport transfer, transport around the city and excellent tour guide.

I wish I could try the spa but the stay was too short

the entire hotel is completely new, the rooms are very spacious and carefully furnished. all the staff are very kind. especially the Manger who prepared a tour of the city for me and also breakfast to take away on the last morning. I highly recommend it and when I return to Yangon I will stay here again.

Recently reopened 5 star hotel, perfect location and beautifully designed. One of the nicest hotels I stayed in. Superfriendly staff. Great food. We loved it!

Nothing to complain about. Super!❤️❤️❤️

The hotel is stunning and the staff is polite and professional. Absolutely recommended.

Great design, refinement, attentive staff. A true boutique hotel. Everything was perfect !

I like how they refurbished the interior and exterior decorations, keeping it a heritage vibe
