If you are looking for a boutique hotel stay in Bagan, then the Areindmar is the solution. It is located in New Bagan, where you find quite a few excellent restaurants so you don’t have to eat all the time in the hotel. There are 50 rooms at the Areindmar, set around a pretty inner courtyard. The rooms showcase traditional Burmese teak flooring and come with en-suite bathrooms with a walk-in rainforest shower and bronze washbasins. Don’t expect too much from the rooms, they are clean and comfortable, but not bursting with luxurious touches. They also provide flatscreen TVs, mini-bar and a safe. Within the courtyard you find lotus ponds and acacia trees, but sadly nowhere to sit down! There is one restaurant at the Areindmar, with serves both local and western dishes. There is also a bar located by the pool which is located close to the restaurant, so you can also sit out on the pool terrace.
