Without doubt, the hotel to experience in Rangoon. Actually, let’s make that in the whole of Burma. The Governor’s Residence hotel has no competition, even among the best of Burma luxury hotels. This is a quintessential early 20th Century colonial mansion, in fact the former home of the governor of the southern states of Myanmar, which has been painstakingly restored to create a 49-bedroom hotel of unparalleled luxury.
Coming under the umbrella of Belmond, formerly known as the Orient Express, it is a delicious combination of perfect ingredients. The rooms are beautifully finished with Burmese teak doors, bespoke furniture and liberally dressed with colourful Burmese silks. You’ll want for nothing.
The Governor’s Residence offers fabulous cooking courses in which you will visit local markets to buy your ingredients before coming back to whip up spectacularly tasty Myanmar salads.
The Governor’s Residence is in the leafy embassy quarter, which is quiet and upmarket. A car is needed to ferry you to the centre of town – your driver will be on hand whenever you need him.
