One of Burma’s most famed hotels, The Strand Yangon is to get a significant refurbishment this year.

The hotel will close on May 1 until November with Bangkok-based P49Deesign overseeing design for the project.

P49 also created the Strand Cruise, a luxury river cruiser that launched at the end of last year, and has undertaken many projects for hotel groups including Taj, Anantara, Alila and Six Senses in the past.

While the hotel is closed, the company plans to run a Strand ’pop up’ at the Inya Lake Hotel in the city, where guests booked on a Strand Cruise can receive a complimentary night’s stay.
