At present, the hotel offers 91 rooms and suites ranging from 33m² Superior Rooms to the expansive 380m² Presidential Suite. A new wing is being constructed, with work expected to finish in Q4 2016, which will add 200 more rooms to the hotel.

“Mandalay is a city with a rich history and a bright future,” said Ron Pohl, Best Western International’s Senior Vice President of Brand Management. “We are delighted to be able to enter this exciting market with such an elite property.
