Kalaw Heritage

Love at First Sight

High in the leafy hills, Kalaw Heritage Hotel offers seclusion and serenity for those seeking a romantic Myanmar break. The second oldest hotel in the country, this former hill station was built in 1903 and has retained its genteel charm. Original colonial features can be seen throughout its three buildings, including 45 rooms and suites.

Set against the Kalaw mountains, and with verdant gardens, abundant views are married with the opportunity to unwind and reconnect. With the Sissons Restaurant and Heritage Bar, serving up Shan and Western dishes, as well as classic cocktails, creating a special, celebratory moment is simple yet unforgettable.

Romance

Surrounded by green hills and tree-lined streets and brimming with Colonial charm, Kalaw Heritage Hotel is perfectly situated for a romantic holiday. Toast to a special day with a wine or whiskey on the shaded terrace, or find a secluded spot in the sprawling gardens to take time out together. At the base of the Kalaw Mountain, you can spend a day, taking a romantic trek amongst breathtaking natural beauty. Nearby, the village market gives guests that chance to sample local life and cuisine on an unforgettable day out.
