“An imposing 1906-built mansion with contemporary interiors offering blue-green shutters and cosy beds topped with white linens. Kick back in the courtyard or by the swimming pool, and enjoy snacks and fresh juices before heading out to explore George Town's street food scene. A chic boutique stay.”
