Belmond Governor’s Residence is famous for being Yangon’s most charming hotel that attracts millions of tourists on your best Myanmar tours. That beauty appears from the moment tourists are welcomed by antique gong chimes at the doors. The hotel lies on a quiet backstreet in the leafy embassy district. It is modeled on a 1920s colonial style mansion, thereby the existence of fan-cooled verandas and hand-carved teak furniture – features of the bygone era of colonial Burma – causes no surprise.
Luxurious furnishings
