Supporting Yangon Community

Being locally owned and managed, Esperado Lake View Hotel is committed to supporting the Yangon community. As part of these efforts, the management team created a unique program that supports local artists by placing their artwork in the hotel. The original paintings, as well as signed reproductions in a limited series, can be purchased by guests who want to take home a piece of Myanmar’s colourful culture.

Esperado Lake View Hotel is also interested in deepening the collaboration with Myanmar’s Ministry of Hotels and Tourism, in order to develop high standards of quality services in this sector trough conducting pilot vocational training program and expanding this initiative on regional and national level.

Creating the Brand of Excellence

The high average of occupancy rates, which reached more than 80% in the first year of operation, encouraged the expansion of the Esperado brand throughout establishment of new hotel capacities and franchising opportunities. By the end of 2017, the owner of the brand is planning to open and operate two new hotels in Yangon – a four star hotel offering large rooms with study tables, swimming pool and view of the port and B&B, a three star guest house. Furthermore, the owner plans on opening two hotels in Nay Pyi Taw with capacity of approximately 200 to 300 rooms, as well as to provide franchise for two hotels on Inya Lake and one in Bangan.

Additionally, Esperado Lake View Hotel shows great interest and openness for cooperation with long-distance airlines and tour operators, through the Esperado Tourism Agency. Kaung Myat Zaw says, “We can cater for guests in Yangon and, through our existing and future projects in Mandalay, Nay Pyi Taw and Bagan, we are also ready to provide high quality service to our partners and our partner’s guests”. He adds, “We will be expanding the brand to other properties, such as office space and shopping centres, all operating under the Esperado brand. It will be the number one brand in Myanmar, which is our vision and goal, and it will be visible all over Yangon.”

Kaung Myat Zaw points out that Myanmar is growing rapidly, which signifies an increased tourism influx, both in business and leisure. He concludes: “I am sure that every person will find a reason to come to Myanmar. As for Esperado, I would like to invite hoteliers associations to enter in joint ventures with us; we will welcome them with open arms”.
