Let’s face it, Mandalay is a city. In fact it is the second largest city in Myanmar so finding a hotel with a relaxing ambiance is not so easy, especially one that is affordable. The Ayarwaddy Riverview hotel is a great choice especially if you request a room facing the river. Opened in 2011, Ayarwaddy River View Hotel is just 15 minutes to Mandalay center, flower market, and 60 minutes from the airport. Ideally located in the prime touristic area of Northern Mandalay, the hotel is in an easy access to the city's myriad attractions and landmarks, such as Mayan Chan Jetty, Thiri Mandala Bus Station (for Monywa, Shwebo), and Chanthaya Paya. The Royal Palace and Mandalay Mountain are do-not-miss attractions.
Guests are greeted with a welcome drink and refreshing towel. The accommodations are large and well furnished. Breakfast and the internet are complimentary. Guests can enjoy their pool, a massage, spa, fitness center, and other amenities. But what makes the Ayarwaddy Riverview Hotel stand alone is the rooftop dining room with a view of the river and setting sun. And, on most evenings at sunset they have “free-flowing” cocktails featuring the cocktail of the day. Plus, during dinner a man plays the traditional Myanmar xylophone. Following an hour of delightful music guest can enjoy a traditional puppet show. For more information check Ayarwaddyriverview-hotel.com.
