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. We stayed at the Tjiong townhouse. As guests of a townhouse, we got a complimentary tour of the Blue Mansion by Sally (I hope I'm spelling well her name). We were already delighted with the Blue Mansion and the townhouse but after Sally's enthusiastic sharing of the fantastic history of the Mansion, the life of Cheong Fatt Tze and the principles of Feng Shui we definitely fell in love with the place and Georgetown. We feel privileged and honored for having stayed at the Tjiong and having visited the Blue Mansion for breakfast and swimming pool. Thanks to the love of the conservationists, future generations will be able to experience the magic of these places. We are forever grateful to the people which developed and worked on these projects and to the staff that daily takes very good care of the guests. Thank you!

The Edison George Town is set in a restored colonial mansion with contemporary decor. The stylish guest rooms are furnished with a sofa and guests enjoy complimentary turn down service. This boutique hotel boasts a chic common area, a bright courtyard and a swimming pool. Free WiFi and free parking are provided. A Dream Stay at The Edison – Penang’s Best Boutique Hotel! From the moment we arrived at The Edison, we were swept away by its charm and elegance. This boutique hotel, housed in a beautifully restored historic mansion, feels like stepping into a piece of Penang’s rich heritage – but with all the modern comforts you could ever want. The location is simply unbeatable: right in the heart of George Town’s UNESCO heritage center, making it effortless to explore the city’s colorful streets, historic landmarks, and vibrant food scene. The interiors are absolutely gorgeous. Every detail, from the grand entrance to the tranquil courtyard, has been lovingly preserved and tastefully updated. Our room was spacious, airy, and refreshingly cool – a perfect retreat after wandering through the tropical heat. The pool is a hidden jewel – calm, inviting, and surrounded by lush greenery. We spent hours there unwinding. And the complimentary all-day lounge? What a fantastic idea! Whether you need a quick snack, a cold drink, or just a quiet corner to relax, it’s always available and beautifully stocked. But what truly elevates The Edison to a class of its own is the exceptional staff. They are the very soul of this hotel – warm, professional, and endlessly helpful. From the front desk to the housekeeping team, every single person we encountered went out of their way to make us feel welcome and cared for. Their restaurant recommendations were outstanding, and they gave us wonderful tips for excursions that made our stay unforgettable. The Edison isn’t just a hotel – it’s an experience. It combines heritage, comfort, and a level of hospitality that is rare to find. We travel often, but few places have left such a lasting impression. If you’re visiting Penang, don’t even think twice. Stay at The Edison. It’s hands down the best hotel in the city, and we can’t wait to come back!

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.

Noordin Mews is a boutique hotel housed in a historical building in central Penang. It offers an outdoor pool and provides free Wi-Fi throughout the building.

Noordin Mews is situated a 5-minute walk from Komtar and 1st Avenue. Heritage Area is a 10-minute walk from the hotel while Gurney Drive is a 15-minute drive away. Fabulous stay, my first time in Malaysia. The characterful and historic building is renovated with great taste and simplicity, creating a comfortable, secure and relaxing environment. The room was of good size, comfortable bed, desk etc and excellent shower. The air-con was efficient and very necessary! Breakfast is by the pool and offers a daily "Asian special" which features the different cuisines of the island. The hotel is located just outside the UNESCO bufferzone, the neighbourhood is safe and very walkable with many exceptional eating options within a short walk. Special mention for the hotel staff who were exceptionally welcoming and attentive.
