Placed along stone pathways are cozy bungalow-style cottages that house stylish bedrooms decorated with a blend of traditional Burmese and contemporary designs.
At opposite ends of the well-groomed grounds are large pools with plenty of sun-beds, ready to welcome you home after a long day exploring the surrounding ancient ruins and Buddhist temples.
The restaurant hotel serves tasty, traditional food as well as many excellent western dishes. Guests will be pleased by the friendly staff, special ambiance and top-notch facilities at Bagan Lodge.
