This romantic 1920s colonial mansion was once the home of the ruler of Burma's southern state of Shan. Today, beautifully restored, it is an elegant 48-room hotel, filled with Burmese teak, sumptuous silks and fragranced with the perfume that wafts in from its manicured, frangipani-filled gardens. A tranquil oasis in the heart of Yangon's peaceful diplomatic quarter, this gorgeous teak mansion has been restored to its original charm, and at night is lit by candles and bamboo torches and serves quite arguably the finest cuisine in the city, under the watchful of eye of Executive Chef Ricardo Luján, who inspired by the exotic local cuisine of Myanmar, with its subtly blended spices and flavours in addition to European and French cuisine with a local twist.
