Located within the UNESCO World Heritage Site of George Town, Ren I Tang Heritage Inn is located in a restored building from the 1800s. Spanning an area of 3 shop house units, the property features free WiFi, a restaurant and small museum on the ground floor, which used to be a medical hall. This was on of our favourite stays in Penang. The staff are absolutely lovely, the breakfasts great (and changed regularly) and the Inn is full of charm and character. We really enjoyed the bustling location of Little India. There are many excellent places to eat locally and the on-site bistro is great for a drink, meal and people and streetscape watching.

Housed in a Chinese courtyard-style mansion, The Blue Mansion offers boutique accommodation tastefully furnished with antique fittings. Featuring a library and free parking, it is located within Georgetown’s UNESCO district.

Individually designed rooms are fitted with classic wood furnishings and air conditioning. They have a safe, hairdryer and tea/coffee maker. Excellent heritage boutique hotel and the location is an extra bonus. Staff is very courteous. A tip is to not eat a very heavy dinner the night before as the breakfast is superb and you can't do justice to it if you've had too much to eat the night before.

Located in the capital city of Penang, Seven Terraces is only within a 5-minute walk to the significant Goddess of Mercy Temple and the popular Penang Peranakan Mansion.

The property is just a 10-minute walk from Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion, Penang Museum and the large Chinese clan house of Khoo Kongsi. Penang International Airport is a convenient 30-minute drive away. We loved being in a beautiful collection of Peranakan objects. The room was spacious and delightful. A knockout place to stay for its uniqueness.

Situated within the UNESCO World Heritage city of Georgetown, Coffee Atelier is a collection of 5 beautifully-restored shophouses dating back to 1927. Featuring spacious suites with free Wi-Fi, it an art gallery and its own coffee museum. Absolutely loved this ground floor, delightful, traditional shophouse accommodation. Such a gem of a place. Very comfortable and roomy, especially with having the enclosed outside verandah to sit and relax. Very peaceful, yet so convenient for restaurants etc. We felt Ruby was exceedingly helpful, offering advice and tips on places to visit etc.
