Looking for a charming hotel to experience a luxurious and romantic stay in Burma's capital? Belmond Governor's Residence is an excellent choice.

A 5-star residence in the heart of Rangoon

Luxury, serenity and sensuality… Baudelaire's famous verse perfectly captures the atmosphere at Belmond Governor's Residence, a five-star hotel located in downtown Rangoon. The property is housed in a former English governor's mansion completed in the 1920s. It has been renovated while carefully preserving the original architecture. The defining feature is the duality between colonial spirit and ultramodern comfort that strikes guests of Belmond Governor's Residence the moment they step through the hotel doors.

The enchantment continues when you order the delicious dishes from Mandalay restaurant, which plays with local flavors while not hesitating to serve Asian or Western specialties. The magic lingers in the gracefully appointed rooms that open onto a lotus-planted garden. An English-speaking team will welcome you with professionalism and anticipate your every need. The hotel's "5-star" distinction is far from undeserved.

To enjoy a magical and enchanting stay in Rangoon, be sure to note this address: 35 Taw Win Road, Yangon 11191, Myanmar.
