Tented lodge brings luxury to the Irrawaddy
Apple Tree Group is targeting April 15 for the soft opening of its tented luxury lodge located in the heart of Bagan in Myanmar.
Located near the eastern shore of the Irrawaddy River, the property offers 85 air-conditioned rooms in three classes of accommodation.
“Myanmar culture is on every traveller’s radar screen, and Bagan is going to emerge as the hottest attraction in the country,” said Kurt Walter, group general manager at the Apple Tree Group.
“Seeing the ancient Ananda Temple and the gilded Shwezigon Paya today is what it must have been like to visit Angkor more than 20 years ago,” he said.
International flights deliver passengers into Yangon, from where four private domestic airlines have daily direct flights to Nyaung U, the airport that serves Bagan.
Apple Tree owns and manages hotels and clubs across Vietnam and Laos, including Emeraude Classic Cruises, a near-replica of a French, colonial-era steam ship that plies the waters of Halong Bay; La Residence Hotel &Spa in Hue; Villa Maly, a classic Laotian residence in the heart of Luang Prabang, and Kamu Lodge, a rustic tented and thatched roofed eco-lodge on the shores of the Mekong River, 30 kms upstream from Luang Prabang.
