Belmond Governor's Residence

The Belmond Governor's Residence is a Victorian-style hotel located in Dagon Township, Yangon, Myanmar (Burma), located in a teak mansion from the 1920s. It is located in the Embassy Quarter near the Shwedagon Pagoda, the National Museum, the former Foreign Ministry office compound and India House - now the official residence of the ambassador of India.

The famed British Gentlemen's Club, the Pegu Club was located nearby.

History

The elegant teak mansion was built in 1920. The two-story mansion, as its official name denotes, served as the official home of the governors of the British Crown Colony of Burma, such as Sir Reginald Dorman-Smith and Hubert Rance.[1] In 2006 the hotel became part of Orient-Express Hotels Ltd. which in 2014 changed its name to Belmond Ltd.[2] At this point the hotel changed its name to Belmond Governor's Residence.

gollark: The RPC thing and some JS hax on the client mean I can basically just call any function the server provides as if it's a local one (except asynchronously).
gollark: minoteaur is just plain RPC - you do `POST /rpc` with a function and its arguments as JSON.
gollark: You're forced to try and map the data/functions your thing provides onto a structure which may not really fit them well.
