The Hotel @ Tharabar Gate

Set in the ancient city of temples, Bagan, the Hotel @ Tharabar Gate is a charming, relaxing base within walking or cycling distance of the pagodas for which Bagan is famed.

There are 83 guestrooms on offer at the Hotel @ Tharabar Gate, all decked out in traditional materials, like polished teak wood, but with the modern additions of air-conditioning, mini-bars and TVs. The private gardens and unique hand-painted walls add enchanting, personal touches of character to the accommodation.

You can dine in the hotel’s lush, tropical gardens or in the main restaurant, and the cuisine served ranges from local Myanmar to western and Asian dishes. We love the pool bar for a chilled cocktail after a day exploring the temples around the hotel, and the spa offers traditional massages, perfect for sore legs and feet.
