The Strand hotel was built in 1901 by British entrepreneur John Dawood and was later acquired by the Sarkies brothers, who collected more than a few of Southeast Asia's grand colonial hotels including the famous Raffles Hotel in Singapore and the Eastern and Oriental in Penang. A major city landmark, the hotel has welcomed Somerset Maugham, George Orwell, Sir Noel Coward and Rudyard Kipling among its guests.
The hotel has 30 spacious suites reminiscent in style of the hotel's colonial-era with lofty ceilings, teakwood floors and antiquities, and serviced by a team of efficient butlers.
Guests can choose to dine in the elegant and formal Strand Grill, take afternoon tea at the Strand Café and enjoy a drink at the Strand Bar, at its busiest on a Friday night for Happy Hour, considered a longstanding Yangon tradition.
