A no-brainer for midrange travellers in Mandalay, the high-rise brick Bagan King is ideally situated, with restaurants, cafes, shops and spas all a short walk away. The rooms, while not especially large, feature shiny wood floors and local handicrafts for decoration. Brick-walled bathrooms with rain showerheads and recessed lighting feel especially luxurious. Service is personal and exceptional.
From bottom to top, the Bagan King is tastefully done, with a fairly sumptuous lobby whose style is matched by the rooftop restaurant and bar. Don't miss the late-afternoon cocktail hour with free drinks, snacks and amazing city views.
