Review of Traders hotel yangon myanmar

Sule Shangi-La Yangon is one of the five (5) star hotels in Yangon, Myanmar. Located along Sule Pagoda Road in downtown Yangon, the hotel is just a stone-throw away from the Sule Pagoda. The hotel is connected to the Sule Square, a 2-storey mall with shops like Emporio Armani, Remax, Miniso, Innovate, and City Mart. The mall also has restaurants like Shan Yoe Yar and some food stores at the basement. Shan Yoe Yar serves traditional Myanmar food especially those from Shan State.

The hotel lobby is not as grand and big as other Shangri-La Hotels I've seen in other countries. The reception area is also a bit small but the wood carvings which serves as its decor is impressive. The main staircase also is a bit small compared to the grand staircase of other Shangri-La Hotels.

They have a buffet restaurant Cafe Sule, serving international dishes. The selection was impressive although, again, not as wide as the selection in other branches. The hotel's bake shop was also modest, with a few selection of bread and cakes.

I did not stay in this hotel so I cannot say anything about the rooms.
