Hotel by the Red Canal

On Mandalay’s iconic Red Canal, this boutique hotel sits minutes from Mandalay Palace, Shwenandaw Monastery and the Marionettes Theater. A central Mandalay location makes it an easy base for sightseeing and family-friendly city stays.

A small, boutique sanctuary framed by lush tropical greenery and calming water features, with teak and rattan fixtures, mother-of-pearl inlays and Myanmar marble bathrooms. The 25 individually decorated suites—named for Myanmar’s ethnic groups—offer minibars, LED TVs and DVD players, safes and desks; select rooms feature jetted tubs and spa-style touches.

Wake up to canal-side calm and unwind at the outdoor pool or in the full spa (massages, body treatments, facials), sauna and massage room. A 24-hour health/fitness club, library, picnic area, concierge and tour desk round out the leisure options, while 24-hour room service, daily housekeeping, 24-hour security and a gift shop keep things effortless.

A business center supports meetings and board sessions, with complimentary wireless internet throughout. Extras include limo/town car service, express check-in, a roundtrip airport shuttle (surcharge) and free self parking.

Spice Garden Restaurant serves international fare with a bar and garden/pool views. Guests can enjoy a continental breakfast (available 6:00–10:00 for a fee), a daily complimentary reception and 24-hour room service.
