The Strand
Yangon (Rangoon)

Originally built in 1901 by the Sarkies brothers on the banks of the Yangon river, mere minutes’ walk from the city's many crumbling colonial buildings, The Strand was recently restored to its former glory undergoing an extensive renovation in 2016.

Combining the charms of the 1920s and 1930s with lavish modern-day amenities, The Strand remains one of Yangon's most luxurious hotels. The Victorian-styled hotel's atrium lobby has marble flooring with inlaid teak wood, rattan furniture, chandeliers and black-lacquered ceiling fans - all of which imbue the hotel with a relaxed colonial style. The hotel has 32 well-appointed suites spread over two of its three floors, and all have high ceilings, teak wood floors, gently whirring fans and luxurious bathrooms. All suites have 24-hour access to a butler and excellent strength Wi-fi is available free of charge throughout the hotel. 

The Strand Café serves Burmese and western cuisine throughout the day as well as afternoon tea, while The Grill is a beautiful location for more formal fine dining. Friday night Happy Hour in the Strand Bar is a Yangon institution; perch on a stool that Kipling, Somerset Maugham and George Orwell might have sat on when The Strand was in its heyday.

Travelling is like flirting with life. It's like saying, 'I would stay and love you, but I have to go; this is my station.

Without question, you put together the best trip I have ever taken. We were shown around like visiting dignitaries, the hotels were fantastic and the itinerary was just right. Everybody I know will hear about how amazing Ampersand is!

I had a very lovely time and was looked after splendidly. My first visit to India could not have been better, save for being longer! But I shall return at some point and I shall look to you to make the arrangements.

Ampersand provided a bespoke and flexible holiday, tailored to my every whim.
