Shangri-La International Hotel Management Ltd. will open its second hotel in Yangon, Myanmar in 2017. With a location on the banks of Kandawgyi Lake, the 350-room Lakeside Shangri-La, Yangon will offer views of the Shwedagon Pagoda.
The hotel site is located near the new Shangri-La Residences, Yangon. The Hong Kong-based hotel group has been operating in Myanmar since 1996 when it opened the 334-room Traders Hotel, Yangon.
“The steady increase of domestic and foreign investment in Myanmar’s economic capital makes Yangon an important commercial center,” says Shangri-La president and CEO Greg Dogan. “Along with the city’s period buildings, traditional architecture, and historic charms, it’s easy to see the multi-faceted attractions of Yangon. We look forward to further contributing to the city’s tourism and welcoming visitors with Shangri-La’s hospitality from the heart.”
In addition to 350 guestrooms and suites, the Lakeside Shangri-La, Yangon will have three restaurants, two bars, meeting and convention space, a health club, and an outdoor swimming pool.
