The Hotel by the Red Canal

Business hours of reception: 24 hours
The Hotel by the Red Canal invites you to Mandalay for a resort experience in a convenient location, all in one compact and interesting package. The boutique-style hotel is a celebration of all things Myanmar, featuring teak furniture and fixtures & fittings made from rattan, mother-of-pearl and other local materials.
Being small, the hotel can offer a unique choice of accommodation to foreign travellers, with a strong emphasis on preserving the local culture through detailing the interior décor. For instance, suites are numbered and key-tagged using Zartar — an ancient Myanmar method of recording astrological readings — whereby inscriptions are etched onto a toddy palm leaf with a stylus.
An outdoor free form swimming pool set within a timber-lined deck against a tropical landscape and waterfall feature lends a resort atmosphere to the hotel. To unwind, a custom gym awaits health nuts and the soon-to-open Beauty Salon and Red Canal Spa pander to those seeking body repair with facials, massage, scrubs, body rubs and treatments.
