“A gorgeous boutique bolthole in Penang's colonial quarter. Chic romantic suites have lots of space, hand carved four-poster beds, soft furnishings, and balconies on to a beautiful courtyard. Fantastic little fusion restaurant, garden and pool. Bags of character. ”

Hotel review

A stunningly converted shop house turned sleek boutique hotel done to absolute perfection. From the frangipani decorated courtyard to the hand carved four poster beds in the six suites and one apartment, to the Scotch and Japanese whiskies served in the bar to the Penang-French fusion restaurant, this little hotel is a winner. Definitely one for those who enjoy everything hand tailored over obvious luxury. Though, of course, this is very luxurious.
