Aayu, which means 'life', reflects our focus on enhancing the quality and experience of living. The Aayu brand has been inspired by a singular, authentic, and original intent to create spaces that are minimal and calming to the souls yet bring resonance to the rich cultural past. Aayu properties are created holistically through a blend of natural-inspired elements and contemporary design into rich colourful heritage homes, prodding a clear definition between the old and new, and how both elements could come together to enliven one another. The Aayu brand aims to provide guests with a warm sense of heritage homes. Aayu is also featured in Robb Report Malaysia and Conde Nast Traveller.

Surrounded by early 'Straits' eclectic style heritage shophouses along the quiet Stewart Lane, Aayu's tranquil hideaway invites guests to experience living in a fully-restored heritage house that has the period charm of a bygone era. Guests are able to self check in and check out online.

Aayu Stewart is located in the heart of Georgetown, Penang, a Unesco world heritage site. It is within walking distance to notable local landmarks such as Goddess of Mercy Temple, Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion, Pinang Peranakan Mansion, Chew Jetty, Khoo Kongsi, Fort Cornwallis, Love Lane, and Armenian Street.
