RGN City Lodge

Yangon


This appealing hotel with a modern look and friendly staff is in a quiet downtown location. Colour-tinted old photos of Rangoon contrast nicely with the gold and white colour schemes of the rooms; the deluxe ones sport nice wicker furniture, too. The buffet breakfast has a choice of European, Burmese and Chinese dishes.
