an oasis of lush greenery and soothing water features
Mere minutes from Mandalay Palace in the old royal capital of Myanmar, the Hotel by the Red Canal is an oasis of lush greenery and soothing water features.
This delightful boutique-style hotel provides a welcome retreat from the hustle and bustle of Mandalay. Named and decorated after Myanmar’s four major ethnic groups, the hotel’s 25 compact rooms offer a superior range of amenities alongside beautifully handcrafted teak and rattan furnishings. Select rooms also come with their own terraces, balconies or outdoor rain-showers. A small pool, fitness studio and impressive underground spa – complete with natural mud walls, terracotta tiles and running water features – make up the wellness facilities.
The hotel’s restaurant, the Spice Garden, offers what is arguably Mandalay’s finest dining experience, with delicious Myanmar and Indian dishes prepared fresh daily, alongside a selection of international favourites. Meanwhile, you’ll find the hotel is ideally placed for exploring attractions such as the Mandalay Palace, Shwenandaw Monastery and U Bein Bridge, whilst a short taxi or trishaw ride will bring you into the downtown area with its bustling night markets.

From the first conversation to the final day of our trip, Catherine and the team were helpful, efficient and easy to reach. Their recommendations not only improved our original plans but also made the whole holiday more cost-effective. Even when we needed assistance while away, their response was immediate. We wouldn’t hesitate to travel with them again.
A hugely enjoyable nine-day trip, expertly organised from start to finish. The itinerary covered everything we wanted to see and do, with excellent guides, drivers and seamless logistics throughout. The documentation was clear and helpful, and the London office was consistently responsive, knowledgeable and efficient.
