Hotels

Since the privatization of the hotel industry in the 1990s, a large number of new hotels and guest houses have been completed or are under construction, particularly in Yangon. Advance booking is advisable, particularly from November to March. There are also hotels at the resorts of Sandoway, Taunggyi and Pagan. For further details, contact Tourism Promotion Board.

Grading: An increasing number of hotels are divided into three categories: luxury, first class and lower.

Inns

These are another option for visitors. Although reserved for state officials in many towns, inns will often accommodate travelers who have been granted official permission. Visitors traveling away from the normal tourist routes should carry sleeping bags or blankets, as pagodas, temples and monasteries will usually only accommodate visitors for a night or two.
