The Strand Hotel

Posted by paulruth56 27 February 2012

The Strand Hotel in Yangon is worth visiting even if you can't afford to stay there. Stepping inside is like stepping back into a bygone era. Built in 1901, you will find chandeliers and black laquered ceiling fans, and marble floors with inlaid Burmese teak. This is the place where George Orwell stayed. If nothing else, why not enjoy their fabulous high tea while writing your postcards? Then you can walk next door to the post office and send them.
