undergoing the most ambitious restoration in history, The Secretariat is set to become the architectural
marvel where culture, commercial, and education intersect. It is a dedicated space where people and
communities of Myanmar can convene at the heart of Yangon.
OUR HISTORY
The Secretariat Building, located in Yangon (formerly Rangoon), Myanmar (formerly Burma), was built in 1902 during the British colonial era. It served as the administrative center for the British colonial government and later for the Burmese government after independence in 1948.
The Secretariat Building continued to be used as a government office until 2005, when the capital was moved to Naypyidaw. In 2016, the building was opened to the public for the first time, with plans to convert it into a museum and cultural center. However, the building has faced numerous challenges in terms of conservation and restoration, and its future remains uncertain.

Botahtaung township is the eastern most part of downtown Yangon and a vibrant neighborhood that is named after its riverside pagoda. Boasting The Secretariat complex, once the HQ of the British administration but now a place of culture and gathering, this township has a lot to offer with many great restaurants for every palate and budget, and a plethora of grand old buildings now home to embassies, hotels and banks and a vibrant street life. You will find larger tree lined streets, several wet markets and hundreds of heritage buildings from the modest to the monumental. Botataung is also another great example of harmony between many ethnic and religious communities that have been living alongside each other for generations. This township is a great base to enjoy on foot everything that downtown Yangon has to offer while providing a place to rest and relax thanks to its more calm environment.
