St. Regis Astana - the best luxury option in Astana. Loved the hardware and property. Not so sure how all the white will hold up though.
Ritz Carlton Almaty - best luxury option in Almaty. My favorite shower of all-time here. Water conservation eat your heart out.
The Strand Yangon - Might have been the finest hotel East of Suez at one time but not anymore. Not even the finest hotel in Yangon now either.
1. What are you top-5 in Kyoto?
2. Hyatt Tashkent sounds great, "best" last time I was there was that awful Lotte hotel.
3. There's a StR AND a RC in Astana (Nur Sultan?
) now? When I was there, just a Marriott. Nice.
4. RC Almaty is one of the better RC properties I think, underrated.
5. Shame to hear re The Strand, my parents will be there in Jan., hope it isn't awful.
