DirectRooms.com – Union Day Public Holiday Celebrations in Yangon

Yangon, Burma, January 21, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Yangon’s downtown area is renowned for its lush avenues that are lined with architecture styled in fin-de-siècle, a legacy of its British colonial past. Indeed Yangon boasts the highest amount of period buildings built during the colonial period in the whole of South East Asia. Yangon still has many decaying colonial buildings including a High Court, Secretariat buildings; an English School and a Hotel make for great examples of this era.

Most of these buildings have been constructed as four-storey, mixed-use constructions with high ceilings, which allowed mezzanines to be built. Although not in perfect condition the many different decaying buildings are still sought after by property magnets and make for the most pricey on the property market in Yangon.

Finding a hotel in Rangoon is a straightforward process and hotels are able to offer an excellent array of places to stay, with a huge range of places on offer for all tastes and budgets. There are also many facilities to impress Western visitors and a wide array of food and drink options.

Lek Boonlert, marketing head of DirectRooms said: “Visitors will find the architecture of this town fascinating and quite unlike the neighbouring countries in South East Asia which have suffered the consequences of over development. Here guests can enjoy the faded grandeur from another age.”
