In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
Pan Pacific Yangon is the 5-star closest to Scott Market in the city — it opened in 2017 with 336 rooms on the corner of Bogyoke Aung San Road and Shwedagon Pagoda Road. Rooms run modern and contemporary, with high ceilings and big floor-to-ceiling windows. Deluxe rooms start around $137 a night and reviewers call them roomy and clean. Club Rooms and up get the Pacific Club Lounge, with free happy-hour drinks and snacks. Ask for a high floor on the Shwedagon Pagoda side for the best views.
Food and amenities
The 25 m outdoor infinity pool with its jacuzzi is one of the best in Yangon, with the city and Shwedagon Pagoda in the distance. The gym and spa are fully kitted out. Breakfast is a buffet at the Pacific restaurant, running Burmese, Asian and Western dishes, and reviewers single out the range. The Tin Box bar has live music every evening.
Location and getting there
Location is the strongest card here — 1 minute across Bogyoke Aung San Road and you are at Scott Market. A covered link runs from the lobby straight into Junction City mall, so you skip the heat. It is a 10-15 minute walk to Sule Pagoda and Yangon Central Railway, a 10-15 minute taxi to Shwedagon Pagoda, and about 45 minutes to Yangon Airport (RGN).
Things to know before booking
This is the priciest pick on the list, so a tight budget may be better served elsewhere — several hotels nearby sit at a similar location for less. Lower rooms facing Bogyoke Road catch morning traffic noise, so ask for a higher floor. And being right downtown, the streets around it stay busy, which is the trade-off for being this central.
Our take
This suits business travelers and premium tourists who want an international standard in the most walkable part of Yangon. It is not the one for a tight budget — there are cheaper picks on this list with much the same location.

- A covered link runs straight from the lobby into Junction City mall, so dining, shops and souvenirs are easy without going outside.

- Reliable backup generators and stable free Wi-Fi throughout — a real edge over the typical Yangon hotel, where power can be patchy.
- The priciest hotel on this list — if your budget is tight, it may not be worth it when several picks nearby are far cheaper.
