Meliá Yangon
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Meliá Yangon is worth booking if you want a full-service five-star hotel in Yangon at a price only a little above the city median. It is less suited to travellers who want to walk to the main pagodas, since the big sights need transport.

This is our Luxury pick for Yangon. It suits travellers who want five-star facilities, attentive staff and a strong buffet breakfast, with a gym, spa and pool listed by the property. The listing also mentions a free airport shuttle and free parking, which helps on arrival.
Skip it if you want to step out of the door and be at Shwedagon Pagoda in a few minutes, or if dinner at the hotel is central to your plans. Guests say evening menu options are limited and restaurant service can be slow.
Location and getting around
The hotel is at 192, Kaba Aye Pagoda Road, Bahan Township, in the Bahan area. Guests rate the location 9.6 out of 10.
Distances in our data are straight-line estimates and have not been verified. Shwedagon Pagoda is about 3.1 km away, roughly 39 minutes on foot. The National Museum of Myanmar (Yangon) is about 4.4 km, around 55 minutes, and Sule Pagoda about 5.8 km, around 73 minutes. All three are over 30 minutes on foot, so treat them as far and plan on a taxi or public transport.
What guests say
The score is 9.1 out of 10 from 222 reviews, joint first of 9 eligible properties in our sample. Guests describe the staff as professional, friendly and attentive.
Breakfast is a buffet and draws strong praise for its variety, with rice noodles and desserts singled out. The weaker point is the restaurant later in the day: the food is called tasty, but service can be slow and the evening menu is limited.
Price and how it compares with our other Yangon picks
The reference price was €67.22 per night, seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults in one room, about €134 for both nights. It is not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates.
The sample median was €59.33 a night, so you pay a little above the middle of the market for a five-star hotel. Our Budget pick, BaobaBed Lodge, Yangon, scored 8.6 with 3 stars at €23.55. Our Best Value pick, The Rangoon Hotel, scored 8.5 with 3 stars at €38.39. Meliá Yangon costs nearly three times the Budget pick, and what you get for that is a higher score, five stars and a wider set of facilities.
Listed facilities include a spa and wellness centre, a restaurant, a fitness centre, a pool, free parking and air conditioning. Opening times and any fees have to be checked for your dates.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 9 eligible hotels in Yangon. Five-star hotels get priority for our Luxury slot, and this one holds an official 5-star rating along with the top guest score in the sample.
It combines that rating with a price that stays close to the city median, which is unusual for the category.
Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition, breakfast inclusion and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Check whether breakfast is part of your rate, since the buffet is one of the main reasons guests rate the hotel well.
Confirm the free airport shuttle, including times and how to book it. Ask about pool and spa hours, and budget for taxis to the pagodas. If you plan to eat at the hotel in the evening, check the menu in advance.
