The Loft
Yangon (Rangoon)
Opened in 2014, The Loft is a boutique city hotel located in the heart of Yangon.
With a chic and modern vibe, The Loft offers 32 luxurious guestrooms and duplex suites with impressive amenities. We particularly love the Junior Duplex Suite which has a mezzanine level bedroom and stylishly furnished lower level lounge, maximising space and ensuring you are sleeping in the coolest room in town. This hotel is Myanmar meets New York: a converted warehouse apartment, red leather sofas, black exposed beams on white walls with a nod to its roots in the stunning photographs of local people adorning exposed brick.
The location of The Loft is unrivalled being just a few steps away from the city’s most prestigious cultural and business addresses. Surrounding this urban sanctuary are the icons of Yangon, such as the renowned Bogyoke Market, the Yangon City Hall as well as the Sule Pagoda and the wonderful Shwedagon Pagoda. The hotel is home to the restaurant Alex's Gastro Bar Restaurant & Garden, offering guests an a la carte breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as an edgy bar and lounge area.
To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.
