Eastern & Oriental Hotel

The Eastern & Oriental Hotel is in George Town, Penang’s capital and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The stylish suites are full of character, and make the most of the hotel’s illustrious history and perfect location. Over 100 can be found in both the Heritage Wing, its historic heart, and in the contemporary Victory Annexe, and they have spacious bedroom and living areas alongside decadent marble bathrooms. Take in the stunning sea views from your terrace and be attended to by the Eastern & Oriental’s legendary butlers.

Hark back to a bygone age with candlelit afternoon tea at 1885, gourmet local and international buffets at Sarkies and sundowners in the English-style Farquhar’s bar. In what is known as Malaysia's food capital, take a cooking class to find out more about the exotic cuisine of Penang and Malaysia.

There’s an inviting spa, as well as an equally inviting infinity pool with panoramic views of the sparkling Straits of Malacca - relax with a drink on the poolside terrace after a swim.

If you fancy being part of an exhibition, the gallery in the Victory Annexe tells the story of Penang and aims to preserve the heritage of the island - and whether it’s an artefact or a personal anecdote, guests are invited to contribute themselves with their own experiences.

Numerous dining options, colourful bazaars, museums, mosques and entertainment are all within walking distance, or explore George Town on one of the heritage trails to find out more about this historic trading port, its melting pot of cultures and its diverse architecture and food - there are trails which start right on the hotel’s doorstep.
