Poised on the doorstep of one of the world’s most
breathtaking archaeological heritage sites, the Bagan Lodge resort in Myanmar has
targeted 1 August 2013 for its soft opening.
With stylized tenting and furnishings that evoke the Golden
Age of travel, Bagan Lodge’s 85 rooms and suites skirt the boundary of the
shrine-studded plains of the Bagan Archaeological Zone.
More than two thousand historic temples and ruins rise from
the landscape east of the resort, many dating back to the 11th and 12th
centuries at the height of the Kingdom
of Bagan
Conceptualized by noted French designer Brigitte Dumont de
Chassart, the interiors and grounds of Bagan Lodge are a melding of traditional
Burmese design, colonial-era trappings and contemporary decor.
Three classes of
accommodation range in size from 50-sqm deluxe rooms to the 196-sqm Queen
Victoria Suite, which includes four bedrooms, a living room and private garden.
As part of its soft opening, Bagan Lodge will also be
cutting the ribbon on its open-air restaurant, Tiffin Box, as well as a spa
with eight private treatment rooms, and a 20 x 9-metre swimming pool.
A full-service travel desk will cater to modern-day
explorers staying at the resort. Private
temple dinners, pagoda tours and
fishing excursions on the Irrawaddy are among
the activities on offer.
“Of all of the country’s many cultural attractions, Bagan
stands out as the ultimate Myanmar
experience,” said Shane McKirdy, the resort’s general manager. “This was, and
is, a place so fantastic; it exudes an almost mythical appeal.”
Of more than 10,000 tiered brick temples originally
constructed, about 2,200 remain standing within the 46-square-kilometre Bagan
Archaeological Zone – the largest and densest concentration of Buddhist
monuments anywhere in the world.
Situated 300 kilometers southwest of Mandalay ,
Bagan Lodge is operated by Apple Tree Asia, a hospitality group that owns and
manages a collection of boutique properties in some of Southeast
Asia ’s most intriguing destinations.
A grand opening of the four-star resort is scheduled for
later in the year.
