Discover Myanmar’s Magical Destinations with Best Western

Naypyidaw (Myanmar) – February 21, 2018 (travelindex) – Myanmar is a truly breathtaking land, where stunning scenery, exquisite cultures and iconic images combine to create an exciting and enchanting destination for international travelers.

However, in a country larger than Thailand, where there are so many different wonders to explore, travelers can often be overwhelmed by the array of choices on offer. Fortunately, Best Western Hotels & Resorts has developed a collection of hotels in some of Myanmar’s most magical destinations, allowing guests to experience this diverse country in style and comfort.

Yangon:
The country’s largest city and commercial capital, Yangon displays a charming blend of colonial architecture, parks, lakes and temples, including the spectacular Shwedagon Pagoda which dominates the skyline. The world’s oldest Buddhist temple, this is a “must-see” attraction for any visitor to Yangon. Guests can also explore the hustle and bustle of Chinatown, shop at the famous Bogyoke Market, or take a leisurely stroll around Kandawgyi or Inya lakes.

Nestled in the green heart of the city, just a short stroll from Kandawgyi Lake,
Best Western Green Hill Hotel offers 187 rooms, a restaurant, business center, fitness center and complimentary Wi-Fi, making it the perfect base for any urban adventure.

Inle Lake:
Myanmar has far more to offer than urban exploration, however. In the hills of Shan State, Inle Lake is one of Asia’s most alluring destinations. A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, this spectacular lake is home to an incredible array of natural and cultural wonders, including the famous “one-legged” Intha fisherman who live and work on its waters.

Nestled on the banks of the Nyaung Shwe River, which flows into Inle Lake, Best Western Thousand Island Hotel is perfectly positioned for guests seeking to explore this enchanting body of water. With 48 modern rooms, a restaurant, cocktail lounge, free Wi-Fi, a billiard room, riverfront café and even a rooftop bar, this exceptional hotel also provides a wonderful place to unwind after your days or discovery.
