Where to stay in Myanmar
Myanmar offers a wide range of accommodation, from low-budget guesthouses to luxury resorts. Most hotels in Yangon and Mandalay are business hotels with high standards of service and facilities, but they rarely have their own ‘character’.
On the contrary, some resort hotels in Inle Lake and Bagan are more attractive because they make the most of their scenic position with special building materials and beautiful views of lakes or temples.
One night in a 3-star hotel costs from US$60 per room, while a 4-star hotel costs from US$120 per room. Rates at 5-star hotels usually start at US$200 per room per night.
Prices for all types of hotels in Myanmar are significantly higher than in other Southeast Asian countries, which is due to the shortage of rooms, especially in high season.
