About the hotel

The Governor's Residence, nestled in the tranquil Embassy Quarter, is a mere 10 minutes from the city center and within walking distance of the Shwedagon Pagoda and the National Museum. This oasis of lush tropical gardens and lotus ponds offers convenient access to Yangon's cultural treasures, including golden pagodas, the captivating National Museum, and the bustling Bogyoke Market with its array of local handicrafts, gems, and antiques. Originally a 1920s teakwood mansion built by the Balthazar brothers, affluent Armenian merchants of old Rangoon, this stunning property later served as the official residence of the Governor of Myanmar's Kayah State. In the 1990s, it was transformed into a luxury hotel. Guests can enjoy complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi, three restaurants and bars, a library, accessible facilities, cooking classes, and an outdoor swimming pool. Services include business support, laundry, dry cleaning, bicycle rental, and 24-hour room and concierge services. The spacious accommodations at the Governor's Residence are luxuriously appointed with teak furniture, hardwood floors, and tropical cotton and silk fabrics. All rooms and suites feature a sitting area with a writing desk, a mini-bar, and complimentary Wi-Fi. Bathrooms boast large, handcrafted terrazzo bathtubs.
