Try the Strand Sour, soak up the colonial atmosphere and try the fantastic bar snacks , calamari was excellent. Happy hour is exceptional value and complimentary canapés are a winner.

I loved the happy hours on friday , easy to meet people... mostly expats. I wish I could stay one night there but according to yangon-rangoon.com it's around 350 per night... way above my budget :( Read more

A great option to escape the heat for a civilized lunch in Yangon. Free wifi while you dine, just ask for a code (valid 1 hr). Fantastic bruscetta , yummy caesar salad .

Yummmy Coconut Noodles (Ohm no Khao Swe) & beautiful colonial style with friendly service .

Ask for the rear-facing 1st floor suites. Quiet , high-ceilinged, and spacious . Art gallery is bleah. Strand Bar has an awesome happy hour - Fridays, 5-11pm - half-priced drinks. :-D

Lovely place for an airconditioned lunch ! Fresh spring rolls are the best!!

Get reservations for dinner and enjoy the most of it. One of the best dinner 's I've had in a long time. Worth every kyats spent. :)

Top address in yangoon. Colonial style hotel with a great happy hour on Fridays . Afternoon tea was not that great.

The reception area stands out because it isn't a bar-type desk behind which employees stand: to this day, the front desk staff literally sit at a desk with a phone. Adds character!

Get a classic cocktail during the buzzing Friday happy hour .

Great for a stop, take a drink or lunch at the cafe ! Aircon and free wifi :)

Nice to escape the oppressive heat outside by relaxing in the bar with a beer

Nice place for a proper drink and food after going to all the lakes , temples and caves around Myanmar!

Tea time is perfect with a chocolate cake while it's raining outside

Sister hotel of Raffles in Singapore, founded by the same brothers. Happy hour on Fridays .

YANGON HERITAGE TRUST made a conference here the 1st of june 2012. Jacques Maudy n Jimi Casaccia made here a photography exibition for them.

Architecturally one beautiful hotel . I could just sit here at the bar and drink the afternoon away.

Quiet place to have an afternoon read and coffee in between tourist stops

Strand Sour and the calamari are excellent

Happy hour on Friday afternoons: half price cocktails .

Ps: all suites come with butlers, and they're terrific. Please tip generously. :-D

Have a tea or whisky in the lobby.

You can check out the reception area and use their toilets ...

Very colonial historic building . But kind of small.

Perfect for a tea pot :)

Go for the happy hour on friday

The bar still (Feb 2016) allows smoking due to 'historical reasons.' ????????
