Yangon heritage landmark to be a Rosewood, not Kempinski

22 Jun 2018  2046 | World Travel News

Rosewood Hotels has edged out Kempinski as the hotel chain appointed to operate within a landmark restoration of Yangon’s former New Law Courts, Yangon news platform Myanmore reported.

While it was previously reported that Heritage Hotel Kempinski Yangon would occupy the building – constructed in 1927 as the New Law Courts by architect Thomas Oliphant and Doorman Long UK, the engineers behind the Sydney Harbor Bridge – Rosewood Hotels has just announced in a media release that it was appointed by Prime Residence to manage the property.

The former New Law Courts building was approved for restoration

The property is the first building to receive approval from Yangon Heritage Trust, founded in 2012, for a Conservation Management Plan that permitted the restoration. Of particular note is the Heritage Room on the hotel’s fourth floor, which for many years had laid hidden beneath modern interventions.

Rosewood Yangon will feature 209 guestrooms, suites, one- and two-bedroom apartment units. Boasting high ceilings and natural light, most guestrooms also feature patios and balconies where guests can take in views of the Yangon River or the hotel’s landscaped courtyards.
