The Hotel @ Tharabar Gate

The Hotel @ Tharabar Gate is a charming hotel with a superb location in Old Bagan, Myanmar, situated next to the imposing Tharabar Gate, one of the main entrances to Old Bagan, and opposite the Ananda Temple, one of the most iconic monuments.

Amazingly the hotel feels small despite having 86 rooms in long terraces surrounded by mature tropical gardens. The rooms are predictably furnished with king-sized teak beds and other occasional teak furniture, which makes the room feel a little heavy. However, the dark wood is broken up by scatter cushions wrapped in local fabrics and watercolour art on the walls depicting scenes of the temples.
