New wing for Sedona Hotel Yangon
Sedona Hotel Yangon has announced it is to add a new wing featuring a high-end retail experience and a luxury spa.
Sedona Hotel Yangon’s new Inya Wing named after the tranquil lake in front of the hotel, will offer 431 guestrooms and suites along with a grand lobby and high-end retail gallery which will connect the new tower to the existing building. The Inya Wing will also feature a new state-of-the-art fitness centre, an all-day restaurant, spa and an executive lounge.
With architecture by Singapore-based Forum Architects and interiors designed by Studio HBA, the Inya Wing, set to open in late-2015, draws its inspiration from traditional Burmese culture and art interpreted into elegant, contemporary design.
The traditional Burmese umbrella is one cultural theme carried throughout the new wing from the magnificent lighting centrepiece in the lobby to the fritted glass ceiling. The lacquered rice bowl is used as a sculptural element that is incorporated into the lobby art and the guestroom lamps. The central colour palette of red and gold is woven throughout the new wing, a nod to Myanmar’s traditional Buddhist influences and the region’s indigenous lacquerware.
As one of the city’s five-star hotels, Sedona Hotel Yangon is an icon of gracious elegance, sitting on eight acres of beautifully landscaped gardens and water features with breathtaking views of the Shwedagon Pagoda and Inya Lake. Currently, the hotel offers 366 newly upgraded guestrooms and suites along with several dining options, executive club rooms and a fitness centre with a swimming pool, sauna and steam bath.
Championing green practices, Sedona Hotel Yangon has ensured that its new wing has been designed and built utilising sustainable materials and incorporated energy- and water-efficiency into the building’s features.
