Bustling and busy streets. The shining golden beauty of a 2.500 years old pagoda. Somehwere in between the doctor’s house. Now home to one of the most luxurious hotels in Yangon – Savoy.
I can feel the old colonial charm as I walk slowly through the corridors and explore the spaces. Burmese teak furniture, traditional antiques and gently twirling fans are my companions.
I can’t wait to see the poolside and enjoy a fresh drink under the friendly shadow of Pathein’s traditional umbrellas. As I sip my watermelon juice a light, warm wind plays with the tall old trees above me. I surrender to the calmness of the place and almost forget that I am right in the heart of the buzzing and clamorous Yangon. A dream.
Savoy is cozy and intimate place, it has 24 deluxe rooms, 6 suites and 3 very special permanent residents.
The terrace of the Kipling restaurant which offers a fusion of Asian and Western food
It is hard choice, view towards the pool or Shwedagon Pagoda?
Al fresco business lunch at Le bistrot right by the pool
Le Bistrot focuses on traditonal French à la carte menu in the signature ambiance of the restaurant or at the fabulous outdoor space by the pool
The spirit of the colonial days reigns at the Captain’s bar, Yangon’s favored expat spot. There is also a wide-screen tv for sports.
The hotel also boasts its own local wine shop with international selection. Don’t miss the local wines though!

What a beautiful luxury place for a romantic holiday treat 🙂
Totally, it feels like home but with a few extras 🙂
Indeed 😀 And a very good escape from the super busy city where we were holidaying 😉
