Corporate Hotel of Choice in Myanmar

Chatrium Hotel Royal Lake Yangon is a unique blend of authentic local culture and world-class amenities. “We aim to deliver a true experience of traditional hospitality combined with the comforts and service excellence expected by today’s international business and leisure travellers,” says General Manager May Myat Mon Win. “The people of Myanmar are known for their welcoming ways and our hotel’s 500 multilingual staff members ensure each guest feels at home and at ease.”

Serving with Heart and Passion

Indeed, personalized service and a friendly welcome set Chatrium Hotel Royal Lake Yangon apart from other luxury hotels of its class. May Myat Mon Win explains, “Where we make a difference is in our approach to what we do. We serve with heart and passion and put our all into delivering a special experience for our guests.”

Recognition of this, as well as of a notably high standard of safety and security, is well reflected in the hotel’s guest list which has included royalty, heads of state, diplomats, celebrities and other VIPs, such as Hilary Clinton, Shinzo Abe, and Joachim Goack. Additionally, Chatrium Hotel Royal Lake Yangon has hosted numerous prestigious social events.

A caring sense of responsibility extends beyond the guest experience and Chatrium Hotel Royal Lake Yangon is committed to protecting Myanmar’s environment and aims to be a driving force behind the country’s promotion of eco-tourism. “It is important to us that Myanmar’s approach to tourism is sustainable,” May Myat Mon Win says. “Those with whom we work in the hospitality industry look to us to lead by example in participating in efforts to preserve the global ecosystem for generations to come,” then she highlights,“We are the first hotel in Myanmar using the Eco friendly amenities in all guest rooms.”

Upscale Amenities

Part of the Thailand-based Chatrium Hotels and Residences, a noted brand of luxury properties, Chatrium Hotel Royal Lake Yangon maintains a high standard of amenities. Superior accommodation is provided by 301 well-appointed rooms and suites, including three “Club Floors” catering to executive travellers, while facilities range from six restaurants and bars to cutting-edge conference capabilities, choice of meeting rooms, outdoor swimming pools, a fully equipped fitness centre and spa. Thanks to such exceptional facilities and services, the hotel has won a number of awards, including the “Best Breakfast Hotel Award” in 2013 from AsiaRooms and “Certificates of Excellence” from TripAdvisor in 2012 and 2013.

Promoting Myanmar

As May Myat Mon Win points out, “With Myanmar rapidly opening up, business opportunities abound and we encourage international investors to take that first step and visit us to see for themselves what enormous potential there is.”

One of the hotel’s goals is to help promote Myanmar internationally as an attractive destination not only for business, but also for tourism. In addition to its aims of affording every guest a memorable travel experience and projecting a positive image of Myanmar, Chatrium Hotel Royal Lake Yangon also participates widely in local and international tourism events and travel marts.

Looking to the future, the hotel will play a key role in helping Myanmar meet the ambitious goals of its Vision 2020 strategy, which includes attracting seven million international visitors to the country. Gearing up for this, Chatrium Hotel Royal Lake Yangon will shortly launch a new service, e-concierge, with the aim of helping guests learn more about Myanmar. “Myanmar used to be a closed country,” May Myat Mon Win notes,”and information has historically been very scarce, but that is now changing.”

As the first female General Manager of a five-star, foreign-owned hotel in Myanmar, May Myat Mon Win has a strong personal commitment to making sure that potential visitors know more about Myanmar’s many unique attractions. She concludes, “The people of Myanmar deserve a chance to show their heart. I have lived through the country’s tough times and I am sure that we still have challenges to face. However, with the support and understanding of the international community, we sense that change is inevitable and we are excited about this new phase in the development of our country.”
