Unfortunately, over the years, by the 1980s, the hotel had become completely dilapidated. However, Amanresorts founder Adrian Zecca recognized its value and invested in preserving this historic building, embarking on renovations. In 1993, he successfully revived it. In other words, this hotel is a testament to the passion of two hotel legends.
What might seem like standard rooms is a whopping 55 square meters! In fact, all 32 of the hotel's rooms are suites.
The Strand Yangon
When the hotel was built, Rangoon (now Yangon) was not a popular destination for foreign tourists, and it seemed like there was no need for a first-class hotel. However, the Sarkies brothers believed that such a need would soon arise, and so they decided to take on the challenge of running a hotel in Rangoon. Perhaps they were too premature in their predictions, as the hotel they opened in 1892 was unsuccessful. However, The Strand Yangon, which opened in 1901, began to take off as a cutting-edge hotel.
The four Sarkis brothers, Armenians from Isfahan, Persia, founded three hotels: the Raffles Hotel in Singapore, the E&O Hotel in Penang, Malaysia, and The Strand Hotel in Yangon, Myanmar (Burma)."
