Looking for a charming hotel for a luxurious and romantic stay in the Burmese capital? The Belmond Governor’s Residence is a great choice.

A 5-star residence in the heart of Rangoon

Luxury, tranquility, and pleasure… This verse from Baudelaire perfectly sums up the ambiance at Belmond Governor’s Residence, a five-star hotel located in downtown Rangoon. The manager has taken over the former residence of an English governor, completed in the 1920s. It has been renovated while preserving the original architecture. Thus, guests at the Belmond Governor’s Residence are immediately struck by the duality of colonial spirit and ultramodern comfort as they enter the hotel.

The enchantment continues when ordering delicious dishes from the Mandalay restaurant, which showcases local flavors while also serving Asian and Western specialties. The magic extends to the gracefully furnished rooms that open onto a lotus garden. A bilingual team welcomes guests with professionalism and anticipates their needs. The hotel’s "5-star" distinction is well deserved.

To ensure a magical and exotic stay in Rangoon, be sure to note down this address:
35 Taw Win Road, Yangon, 11191, Myanmar.
