Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts - accommodation in Yangon

The room was clean and the sheets and towels were white. A choice of pillows and a large comfy bed. The tv has two average English channels. I didn’t use the restaurants…. The hot weather really sapped my hunger levels. I used the pool area a number of times, but it’s a bit of a tourist attraction so there’s often folks parading around doing a photo shoot. And it’s also used as a function space so one day it was pretty much out of action unless you cared to share the event. The pool bar is also a bit strange. It has lots of liquor bottles on the bar counter, but when you ask for a drink you’re met with “beer”?. No one comes to you to ask if you would like a drink. The staff are super polite, but they don’t speak very good English. I get it…. I don’t speak the local language here. I am appreciative to the chap working at the entry point who organised me a cab to the airport using their app…. I would have paid more (possible 2-3 times) more if I’d asked the cab driver

The best Breakfast buffet in Yangon.

I loved the unique decoration styles throughout the lounges—they give the place a luxurious charm. The rooms are very clean, but the building itself feels older and could use some updates. The staff were wonderful: friendly, pleasant, and never intrusive. My favorite part was the swimming pool. With palm trees all around and the gym close by, it felt like stepping into a tropical forest from a distant era, complete with antique touches in the design. Breakfast offered a few Burmese dishes, though I wish there were more choices.
