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.
“This refurbishment comes just months after the successful launch of The Strand Cruise, our 27-cabin river cruiser operating on the Ayeyarwady River between Bagan and Mandalay, and will further reinforce the Strand’s position as market leader in the region,” said Olivier Trinquand, vice president of The Strand Hotel & Cruise.
