Hotels
Since the privatisation of the hotel industry in the 1990s, a large number of new hotels and guest houses have been completed or are under construction, particularly in Yangon. Advance booking is advisable, particularly from November to March. There are also hotels at the resorts of Sandoway, Taunggyi and Pagan. For further details, contact Tourism Promotion Board (see Contact Addresses).
Grading: An increasing number of hotels are divided into three categories: luxury, first class and lower.

Inns
These are another option for visitors. Although reserved for state officials in many towns, inns will often accommodate travellers who have been granted official permission. Visitors travelling away from the normal tourist routes should carry sleeping bags or blankets, as pagodas, temples and monasteries will usually only accommodate visitors for a night or two.
