Today there is a whole range of hotels in Myanmar from the most modest guesthouses to luxurious five-star hotels. For the moment, demand is still greater than supply, but this is quickly changing with the construction of new hotels by both local and international developers. Nevertheless, if you are visiting Myanmar in high season, from October to March, you should book your hotels well in advance in order to ensure availability.
Accommodation prices have skyrocketed in recent years due to the tourist boom, and travellers often find that prices are not as low as they expect for an Asian destination. Compared to other countries in Southeast Asia, the price-value ratio for hotels in Myanmar is not very high.
Shanti Travel has a selection of charming boutique hotels in Myanmar that we have inspected and shortlisted to provide you with the best experience during your holiday to Myanmar, such as Governor’s Residence, Strand Hotel, Alamanda Inn, The Savoy, Classic Inn, Blue Bird, Red Canal, Rupar Mandalar, Amara Resort Kalaw, Hpa An Lodge, Inle Princess Resort and La Maison Burmese.
In Myanmar, it is currently forbidden to ask locals to accommodate you. On the other hand, if you go on a trek, for example around Kalaw, you have the opportunity to stay overnight at a local homestay with your guide, subject to authorization. The comfort level is usually basic, but it is a fantastic way to immerse yourself in the daily life of one of the country's many ethnic minorities and enjoy a completely different experience than staying at hotels in Myanmar.
