As Myanmar continues to welcome a fast-growing number of international travelers, Rosewood Yangon takes on a transformative role in the country’s largest city, combining an elevated level of luxury hotel with strong cultural outreach.
Housed in the former New Law Courts – one of the grandest and most expansive buildings built during the colonial era in 1920s, Rosewood Yangon is located in the heart of the historic center amidst other heritage buildings at the junction of the famous Strand and Sule Pagoda Roads. With its dramatic row of original three-story-high Ionic colonnades, the hotel boasts a formative presence on the banks of the Irrawaddy River.
Every element in the hotel showcases its transformation that preserves the architectural past while offering the ultimate, contemporary comfort. Take the hotel lobby for example. Guests arrive at the hotel’s majestic portico, lit by three immense, 1920s-style chandeliers, before stepping through two sets of grand iron-framed doors into the lobby. Above the reception desk, a stunning mural by famed local artist Than Kyaw Htay instantly evokes the charm of Myanmar with sunset-bathed pagodas atop peaks floating over a rugged landscape.
A plethora of exquisite facilities are available for guests’ enjoyment, including five distinctive dining venues; recreational options like a spa, a rooftop infinity pool and a fitness studio; extensive meeting facilities featuring a grand ballroom, bridal suite, event studio, Heritage Salon and three meeting rooms; and a sophisticated retail gallery and barber shop.
