Pullman Yangon Centerpoint — Yangon

Sometimes it pays to open your junk mail! After staying at the Novotel Airport Hyderabad on our departure from India in December, we soon after got e-pitched for another Accor-brand hotel with a super-deep discount. The Pullman Centrepoint Hotel in Yangon, Myanmar, a spectacular five-star hotel near the riverfront heart of town, recently opened with an international staff and extended to us as Accor club members $99/night accommodations during their “soft opening.” Their regular price is easily double; elsewhere in the world it’d easily be quadruple. Great hotel! Delightful staff! Now we’re looking around the world for other similar luxury, soft-openings with introductory prices! Our new travel tip!
