Has anyone seen or stayed at this place? Would love to know about it. Thanks!

Aureum Palace

Hi leloir,

Aureum Palace is one of the best hotel chain in Myanmar and own by U Tay Za , Htoo Trading. If we do not consider politic , we have to say , the place is very beautiful ,nice view and rooms are very nice . However , when I stay in last year , the service is not very good (may be because they just opened at that time) but will be worth paying.

The location is a bit far if you compare with other hotels but the best hotel in Bagan . There is the tower in the hotel compound and you can watch beautiful sun set there too.

We had a great stay at the Aureum Palace in Bagan last February. Beautiful infinity pool, good restaurant and fabulous sunset views from our 2-story ';Lotus'; villa. We paid $235/night including breakfast, tax and service through Santa Maria Travels and Tours in Yangon. Likely the nicest resort in all of Myanmar.

Remember that you will be staying at a modern hotel built in the middle of an archaeological site by one of the main supporters of the junta on land “given to him” by the junta, who has become the richest man in Burma through arms and “other” trade.

It’s for you to choose where you stay and whom you support....

Just know the background before you decide.

In Bagan last winter I only walked the grounds of the Aureum Palace. Undoubtedly it is opulent but so out of place in Bagan and an intruder on the temple grounds. I consider the tower an eyesore. I don%26#39;t mind new luxury hotels like the Inle Princess which fits beautifully in its surroundings as the Aureum does not

And the decorator certainly went overboard with the abundance of metal birds lining the paths!

Absolutely a place for ';$$$ laundry'; ....lots Russians were recorded guests there who needs to wash %26#39;em out as well. You have right to stay there though! Staffs are over proud due to their position in the Country regardless of their dis-qualification (not in paper) in the service industry.

I feel the same on their ';Air Bagan'; too when they started but improve a bit now .
