The Strand opened in 1901 and has been restored to its former glory as a grand hotel. The three–storey, Victorian hotel is a model of colonial charm, from its colonnaded exterior to the marble–floored lobby lounge, and from the rattan furniture to the chandeliers and the black–lacquered ceiling fans in The Strand café.
The hotel’s 32 spacious suites, included 23 deluxe suites, 8 superior suites and the Strand Suite, are located on the hotel’s two upper floors and serviced by a team of butlers, 24–hours a day. All are decorated with local art and antiques and fitted with air conditioning, a ceiling fan, satellite TV hidden away in an Edwardian cabinet and a personal safe.
The Strand Suite is nearly 200 square metres in size. It features a canopied, four–poster bed with a separate entranceway to a small study with desk, a living room, a dining room with attached butler’s pantry, a large bathroom, a separate guest bathroom and a sunroom overlooking the Yangon River.
