Relax 

The Penaga Spa was inspired by the early residents who once lived within these terrace houses in the 1920s.

Built above ground and opened up with a glass wall, it shines like a jewel in the garden at night.

One More Thing 

Hotel Penaga is the end result of dedicated passion of one couple; Hijjas Kasturi, a Japanese architect and his wife Angela working with WWF Malaysia. In 2008, they bought a set of art deco houses that had fallen into disrepair and passionately converted them into the boutique hotel. Angela, being an environmentalist, remained fixed to her environment and sustainable roots. Hijjas, the architect was adamant to retain originality by using authentic recycled materials. This care for the environment and originality has gained the property a Gold rating from the Green Building Index.
