Belmond Governor's Residence

Rooms

Accommodation is in three villas, with guests able to choose from Deluxe and Deluxe Garden rooms, Governor's rooms and one or two bedroom Junior Suites. All have a fresh and stylish décor, with white walls contrasting with the teak furniture and floors, and include Wi-Fi, satellite TV, minibars, hairdryers and en suite bathrooms.

Deluxe rooms overlook courtyard, while Deluxe Garden rooms have beautiful views of the lotus garden, with both room types featuring either double or twin beds and the option for an extra bed. Governor’s rooms are more spacious and contemporary, with hints of traditional Burmese décor, featuring a king or two queen size beds. Junior Suites are ideal for those seeking more space and that little bit of added luxury. Overlooking the gardens, they have a large living room and double or twin beds, with the two bedroom suites accommodating up to four guests.
