Pan Pacific Opens Second Parkroyal Hotel in Myanmar

Pan Pacific today opened its second hotel in Myanmar, the Parkroyal Nay Pyi Taw.

The opening makes Parkroyal the first international hotel brand in Myanmar to have a presence in two major cities – the commercial centre, Yangon, and the administrative seat of the government, Nay Pyi Taw.

Set within spacious landscaped gardens, the 180-room Parkroyal Nay Pyi Taw opens with 90 rooms, with the remainder expected to be fully operational by the end of the year.

The hotel offers an all-day dining restaurant, spa, gym, swimming pool and a range of meeting facilities.

Nay Pyi Taw is the third largest city in Myanmar and, as the capital, is expected to host a prestigious line-up of international events, starting with the ASEAN Leadership Forum in May.

The hotel is located within the vicinity of the Myanmar International Convention Centre, the official venue of government functions.

The opening of Parkroyal Nay Pyi Taw under a management contract, and the refurbishment of Parkroyal Yangon come on the heels of another recent development of the group in Myanmar.

Last November, Pan Pacific Hotels Group entered into a conditional joint venture with Shwe Taung Group to develop the first Pan Pacific hotel in Myanmar. Scheduled to open in 2017, the 348-room Pan Pacific Yangon will be located in the heart of Yangon city centre, opposite the popular Bogyoke Aung San (Scott) Market.

“As an early and successful player in Myanmar’s hotel industry, Pan Pacific Hotels Group is keen to capitalise on business opportunities within the flourishing tourism sector to solidify our position as one of the leading international hotel operators in the country,” said Bernold O. Schroeder, Chief Executive Officer, Pan Pacific Hotels Group. “The opening of Parkroyal Nay Pyi Taw in such a prominent location in the capital will give the brand greater visibility and boost the Group’s Myanmar portfolio. We look forward to harnessing our in-depth market knowledge and strong reputation to win over more travellers with the quality accommodation and personalised service that we have become trusted to provide.”
