Strand Cafe
‘The finest hostelry East of Suez’ wrote early 20th century travellers about The Strand Hotel in Yangon.
This 1901-built three story Victorian hotel is one of Southeast Asia’s grandest colonial hotels in the same line as Raffles in Singapore and the E&O in Penang.
Once patronized exclusively by ‘royalty, nobility and distinguished personages’ according to early 20th century guide books, today this iconic hotel in the heart of downtown Yangon offers a rich sense of history to guests and visitors alike.
Suites at the Strand are spacious and sumptuous with high ceilings, ceiling fans and teakwood floors.
The Strand Cafe is a great place for afternoon tea and is a 'must' if staying at the Strand Yangon.
The Strand has a nice swimming pool, spa and fitness centre.
What’s so Special?
Follow in the footsteps of former guests such as Somerset Maugham, George Orwell, Sir Noel Coward and Rudyard Kipling.
Superior Suites
Somerset Maugham would appreciate these generous Suites, where lacquer fans whirl from the high ceiling, and the latest technology ensures a seamless connection to the modern world.
High ceilings and vast spaces are the hallmarks of the thirty historic Suites (55 sq. m).
Teakwood floors, hand carved wood frame beds and ceiling fans round out the colonial charms, tastefully balanced by Burmese lacquerware and antiquities in the bedroom and separate sitting area.
Black and white photographs reflect The Strand’s distinguished past, handwoven bed linen, a spacious bathroom with a double basin and a deep soak bathtub complete with bespoke amenities. After a relaxing bath, wrap yourself in our luxurious Egyptian cotton bathrobes and towels.
Near floor to ceiling windows let in Yangon’s abundance of natural light during the day.
Deluxe Suites
Noel Coward wrote some of his finest works in Asian colonial hotel rooms like these, each one a generous 60-65 sq. m. with polished teakwood floors below and ceiling fans whirling from high ceilings above.
Coward might have sought inspiration by gazing on Yangon from the oversized windows through which streams of sunlight flow into the separate sitting area and elegant bedroom with its hand carved wood frame beds and a tasteful selection of Burmese antiquities.
The 21 Deluxe Suites offer attentive butler service and spacious bathroom with twin vanities and deep soak bathtub.
Features:
- Air Con
- TV with Satellite channels
- Minibar
- Welcome drink on arrival

The Strand Grill
First impressions have been known to silence even the most well travelled guests at The Strand Grill which exudes history under its soaring vaulted ceiling with sparkling chandeliers and a skylight illuminating the elegant black & white marble floor.
A dining room of timeless elegance best soaked up by evening candlelight, The Strand Grill seamlessly blends the 1901 building’s colonial architectural elements from the marble inlaid floor to its high vaulted ceiling with museum quality black and gold lacquer panels from Bagan.
A classically trained guitarist accompanies favourite dishes which place this among Yangon’s top tables for fining dining.
Sarkies Bar at the Strand
Secrets and rendezvous that these teak lined walls have witnessed inside Sarkies Bar at The Strand surely made their way into many a classic tale of the Far East.
This legendary lounge continues to create memories especially at Friday’s longstanding Happy Hour, still the place to be in Yangon, sipping a Strand Sour or unwinding at the billiard table.
Strand Café
For casual gatherings, slide into a padded egg-cane rattan chair under whirling ceiling fans in The Strand Café with its endlessly entertaining views along Strand Road from grand teak framed windows.
The colourful bustle along Yangon Road streams in along with the sunshine through tall teak framed windows at The Strand Café.
Marble floors inlaid with teak and black lacquered ceiling fans recall the city’s colonial era while contemporary British photographer Tim Hall’s striking black & white photographs of the country’s monks and hill tribes adds memorable, artful context to the cool, comfortable room.
The café does an interesting take on Myanmar’s popular Mohynga noodles and afternoon Burmese tea served daily with homemade pastries.
The Spa
Soaring colonial ceilings, polished teak floors and Burmese antiques create a unique sense of place inside The Strand’s singular wellness enclave.
Intimate yet spacious, the Strand’s one room spa can be yours exclusively or opt to share a treatment with a loved one. Highly trained therapists knead away jetlag, muscle aches and city stress with traditional Myanmar therapies.
Swimming Pool
Escape the bustle of the city, and experience an oasis of calm as you relax alongside the swimming pool facilities set amidst a tropical garden, and enjoy the sun as you revitalise with a refreshing drink or cocktail, and snacks from the all-day menu.
