The Mandalay Hill Resort in Myanmar is big, brash and very reliable. Whilst we generally avoid referring to the defunct hotel star rating system, the Mandalay Hill Resort would sit very solidly on four-star ground.
Want the good news or the bad new first? Bad? OK, the property has few redeeming outside features, being a high-rise with its stature accentuated by its location just below Mandalay Hill, Frankly, it’s a big, impersonal city hotel. But here’s the good news: the Mandalay Hill Resort hotel is brilliantly located within walking distance of the old palace moat. That means not only access to some beautiful walks around the old palace walls but also a huge range of restaurants and bars to visit. It’s close to various temples and, as its name suggests, Mandalay Hill is on the doorstep.
The Mandalay Hill hotel is high-rise, meaning the higher you go the better the view. Our favourite rooms are on the south facing side with direct views towards the old city palace and the moat.
Most of Mandalay is within striking distance from the Mandalay Hill Hotel. You can walk to the moat inside 15 minutes and from there it’s an easy rickshaw ride to restaurants and bars in the evenings.
