Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has introduced its most luxurious brand to Myanmar with the launch of the new Wyndham Grand Yangon.
The group’s second hotel in the country, Wyndham Grand Yangon is a new landmark in the heart of Myanmar’s commercial capital, offering breathtaking views of Lake Kandawgyi and the golden Shwedagon Pagoda, plus an exquisite blend of grand facilities and authentic local touches that allow guests to enjoy life’s little luxuries.
The striking 20-storey, 291-room luxury hotel forms part of the Kantharyar Centre, a new mixed-use project comprising office spaces, serviced apartments and retail outlets.
Designed by architecture firm HASSELL, the new hotel is an urban oasis that immerses guests in Yangon’s history and culture. The lobby exudes a resort-style ambience, with paintings of Myanmar’s mountainous silhouette and pagodas serving as the backdrop. Elsewhere, lake views, sheltered walkways and pockets of greenery add to the sense of natural discovery. Throughout the hotel, guests can discover intricate touches that connect them to Burmese tradition, like authentic artefacts, lacquered lamps that take the shape of traditional vessels, and brick red colours – a characteristic of the city.
The 291 rooms and suites blend contemporary elegance with a modern touch. Guests can enjoy stunning city and lake views through floor-to-ceiling windows, while wooden floors, state-of-the-art technology, and spacious bathrooms with separate bathtubs and rain showers add to the sense of style.
Guests staying on the Executive Club Floors will enjoy exclusive access to the Executive Lounge, which offers bespoke services, daily buffet breakfast and evening cocktails, plus free use of a meeting room for two hours.
The hotel’s 320sqm Presidential Suite is a sanctuary of luxury, with a separate meeting area, dining room and private bar, plus a sauna and an indulgent eight-person Jacuzzi. This one-bedroom suite can also be connected with twin or king rooms to sleep additional guests.
Wyndham Grand Yangon features a collection of first-class facilities, including The Spoon, an all-day dining destination that offers international cuisine, as well as traditional Burmese dishes.
Leisure facilities include a fitness centre and an outdoor pool which offers views of the Kandawgyi Lake, while guests can also pamper themselves with a host of sublime treatments at The Spa, including traditional therapies like the spa’s signature four-hand massage.
For corporate guests and event planners, the hotel provides extensive conference and banqueting space, including a 500-delegate Grand Ballroom with a huge LED screen, five meeting rooms with a large pre-function space for cocktail receptions as well as an outdoor garden for alfresco events and weddings.
