Located within Bagan's UNESCO-listed archaeological zone among over 2,000 ancient temples, Bagan Lodge was designed by French designer Brigitte Dumont de Chassart. Its tented bungalows draw inspiration from African safari lodges adapted to the Burmese landscape. Note: UNESCO's management plan requires hotels within the protected zone to be phased out by 2028.
