The feel of this hotel is amazing and transports you to another time -- it has an un-stuffy feeling of grandeur, with vaulted ceilings, and elegant and clever decor, down the the last detail. The staff, who were wonderfully dressed to fit the 'news paper' theme of the hotel, was outstanding, the massages at the spa were the best I've had anywhere, and the food was excellent (contrary to a review I read elsewhere, that said the food was in small portions and pricey, I found the food to be plentiful and very reasonably priced.) I'm seriously considering taking a trip back to Yangon for the sole purpose of staying in the hotel again.
