Historic

The Eastern & Oriental Hotel is located in George Town, Penang. The grand, waterfront facade of the hotel gazes across to the mainland towards the old colonial town. Located at a prime spot, it is within walking distance from the Unesco Heritage Zone of charming colonial villas, ornate Chinese temples and entertainment outlets. With its 125-year history, this luxurious, seafront all-suite hotel, has retained its old colonial charm, along with the finest traditions of comfort and service.

Boutique

Hotel Penaga is a charming boutique hotel in the heart of George Town, in Penang. The hotel was originally a three-storey art deco house that had fallen into disrepair because it had been vacant for years. In 2008, Hijjas, renowned Japanese architect and his wife Anjela, an environmentalist bought the building and began converting it into the type of hotel that they wanted to stay in while exploring the delights of George Town.

Boutique

Macalister Mansion is a colonial-era mansion turned eight-room hotel in George Town, Penang. Set back from the busy and historic Jalan Macalister (Macalister Road), Macalister Mansion is an absolutely gorgeous restored Colonial mansion, that shines in its all-white exterior. The elegant U-shaped driveway takes you past the icy-hued pool, with its inviting clear blue water and pool bar, right outside the reception area where the hotel staff eagerly await your arrival.

Boutique

Clove Hall is an elegant two-storey bungalow of Edwardian Anglo-Malay heritage located in Penang. Built in the 1920s, in a former coconut plantation, it has been lovingly restored in the peranakan style and furnished with British colonial, Malay, and Chinese styles. Penang has a good choice of heritage accommodation but Clove Hall has the edge if you're looking to combine relaxation and sightseeing.
