Areca Hotel is a contemporary 3-star hotel in Mayangone, steps from Kaba Aye Pagoda and a short drive to Myanmar Plaza. Popular on Expedia and Agoda for its spa, rooftop dining, and strong value.
History
Areca Hotel opened in Mayangone near Kaba Aye Pagoda Road, an area shaped by the construction of Kaba Aye Pagoda for the Sixth Buddhist Council in 1952–1956. The neighbourhood later developed into a mix of embassies, gems traders, and mid-range hotels serving business travellers. Areca represents the newer generation of affordable hotels that filled demand as Myanmar's tourism sector expanded in the 2010s.
