US hotel giant Hilton Worldwide opened its first Myanmar hotel in Nay Pyi Taw, with four more hotels in Bagan, Inle, Mandalay and Ngapali, planned for the country to be complete by 2017.

The US$50 million hotel is the first of Hilton’s planned five hotels in Myanmar in partnership with local conglomerate Eden Group.”All of the investment has been made by us so it is a local-owned hotel. Hilton provided us the management and the rating,” said Than Htut, director of Eden Group.
“I welcome the arrival of the international brand Hilton Hotel to Myanmar.” Htay Aung, Minister of Hotels and Tourism, said during the hotel’s opening ceremony.
