Hot Openings: Hilton makes Myanmar debut

The Hilton Nay Pyi Taw marks Hilton Worldwide’s first property in Myanmar, one of six in the pipeline. The 202-room property houses three dining venues: The Elements, The Axis Lounge and the poolside bar Boardwalk. Its five function spaces can house up to 410 people.

For the design, the goal was to create an exotic, escapist feel with a decidedly global edge. In the lobby and the lounge, metallic cages resembling bells make for a striking focal point. Deep tones like bittersweet spice up the style. Arched design elements play with proportion.

Rich colors ground the vibe.

“The opening of Hilton Nay Pyi Taw today is a very significant milestone for Hilton Worldwide; it marks the entry of the company into the dynamic and emerging market of Myanmar,” said Martin Rinck, president, Asia Pacific, Hilton Worldwide. “Being one of the first international hospitality companies to enter many different countries in Asia Pacific — including Japan 51 years ago, China 26 years ago and Myanmar today — we continue to explore new frontiers.”
