EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back in time to the colonial era of Yangon, Myanmar (then known as Rangoon, Burma), circa 1910s. The image showcases the grandeur of the Royal Hotel, an architectural marvel that once stood as a symbol of British rule and opulence in this bustling Asian city. Located in the heart of Yangon, the Royal Hotel was a popular destination for wealthy European travelers and expatriates seeking refuge from the tropical heat and bustling streets outside. The building, with its distinctive red-brick facade and ornate colonial architecture, exudes an air of elegance and sophistication. The large arched windows, intricate balconies, and tall chimneys are reminiscent of the grand European mansions of the time. The lush greenery surrounding the hotel adds to its charm, with tall trees and vibrant foliage providing a stark contrast to the red-brick walls and white columns. The tranquil scene is further enhanced by the absence of modern structures, allowing us to imagine the serene atmosphere that once surrounded this iconic building. The Royal Hotel, with its rich history and stunning architecture, is a testament to the colonial past of Myanmar and the enduring allure of its vibrant cities. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, inviting us to explore the stories and memories that lie within its frames.
