Triumph Hotel , Mandalay Myanmar, Mandalay

This relatively new establishment on the outskirts of Mandalay town is in a great location for sightseeing, yet guests still return to a private and peaceful oasis for some rest and relaxation time.

If your tour of Myanmar covers Mandalay, prepare yourself for an intriguing mix of culture and style, deeply significant devotional sites and winding backstreets hiding architectural treasures. The Triumph Hotel is well-situated about 15 minutes out of town – close enough to enjoy the sights at your convenience, far enough away to feel like an oasis of calm. You can play a round of golf at the nearby course, hire a bike and take on the city, or do a sunrise trek into the hills (a breakfast box can be arranged). Leave plenty of time for swimming in the fabulous pool and downing cocktails at the pool bar.

All rooms here are air-conditioned and contain en-suite bathrooms and modern entertainment facilities. Choose between the somewhat compact economy rooms with a twin-sized bed, larger deluxe rooms with bathtubs or a spacious junior suite, great for small families. All rooms are decorated in golden teak, which is Myanmar’s way of wishing prosperity, health and energy for its guests.

Triumph Hotel offers a great balance of service, cost-efficiency and decent facilities, and prides itself on being clean, quiet and helpful. Come here to be treated like royalty and to soak up the atmosphere with a happy hour cocktail after a hard day’s sightseeing in Mandalay.
