Tharabar Gate Hotel – Bagan

Any hotel with a 12th century palace wall within its boundaries is likely to be impressive, and the Tharabar Gate Hotel is a case in point. The perfect, cool, airy retreat after a hot and dusty day exploring nearby Bagan Temples, the hotel offers 84 rooms and suites, all set within full-grown tropical gardens. It has a delightful pool, complete with a little stone elephant guard and broad, sunny terrace, as well as an open-sided reception and living space, ideal for sharing.
