A legendary Grand Hôtel dating back to 1901and still active. Around 1915 the Strand was purchased by the Sarkie Brothers who also ran the Raffles in Singapore, another British colony at the time. Close to the Yangon river it was the meeting place of distinction both the colonial government and business. Like the Raffles the Strand Hotel enjoys a nearly mythical reputation for luxury and good taste and above all the unparalleled service it is known for.
