Best Western signs for Myanmar’s capital city
Best Western International has signed its first hotel in the country’s new capital, Nay Pyi Taw.
The Best Western Premier The Grand At Nay Pyi Taw project is due to open in the second quarter 2014.
The 205-room hotel will become one of the first internationally branded hotels in the central city, which is the seat of Myanmar’s government.
It will be Best Western’s second hotel in the country after the signing of the Green Hill Hotel in Yangon earlier this month.
Glenn de Souza, Best Western’s vice president of international operations for Asia and the Middle East, said Myanmar had made great strides in recent years, “opening up to the international community and allowing a new generation of visitors to see all the wonders this magical country has to offer”.
Nay Pyi Taw will host this year’s Southeast Asian Games.
