PREMIUM ACCOMMODATIONS (chosen for quality, location, atmosphere and service)

 
  Hotels are not the main reason for traveling but we all know that great accommodations can truly enhance your traveling experience. They add immensely to the quality of the overall journey and are often inseparable from the cultures and places we visit. For this reason we spend a great deal of time selecting our hotels which are more often than not, the best in any given locale and for Arcadia it's not just enough to stay in the best hotels: where available we choose priority rooms or specific rooms of preference.

Since tourism industry in Myanmar is just boomed the accommodations at the other sites apart from the major tourist destinations are just basic. Even though off track sites don’t have luxury comfort of accommodations we try our best to accommodate our clients at the best possible hotels at each destination.
