Sule Shangri-La Yangon, Burma [Master Thread]
Starting a thread for this property where I just checked in.
Got a high-for-Yangon rate of ~$180 for a one-night stay in a club room. Booked with a Luxury Circle TA, so despite no status in the Golden Circle program, I'm treated quite well with a late checkout, free breakfast, upgraded room, club access, welcome amenity, and a $100 resort credit (which I will promptly spend at the spa). Will report back, perhaps with a full review, by the end of the stay. Anyone stayed here and have any particular recs? |

How did your stay go? I'm asking because deciding between here and other luxury properties in Yangon.
Overall the hotel was quite good, and I think is about as good as you'll do in Yangon — there aren't a ton of options here. One thing I'd note is that the masseuse did try to go for the jewels, which I found rather surprising and unexpected at a 5-star hotel. It's never happened to me anywhere else. I'm not bothered by this at all, but I mention it for those who are more squeamish and might find the surprise off-putting. I think it might be due to one of the main demographics in Burmese hotels being Japanese businessmen. |

Correct to say that this Shangri La is a bit dated but the service is very good and the restaurant buffet breakfast is one of the better ones you'll find - great quality and variety!

I haven’t stayed at a Shangri-La in 15 years. Back then membership in their loyalty program included an ugrade and free breakfast. Recall staying on a Priceline Name Your Price in BKK of $55 a night and getting nice benefits. |
