Staying at one of the world's top three antique hotels in Penang is an incredible experience!!

🏨 Eastern and Oriental Hotel, Penang If you only stay one night in Penang, close your eyes and pick this one!! Missing out will really make you regret it😭 ✅ Amazing History 📜 A full 139 years of history! One of the oldest hotels in the world~ Full Nanyang style, offering an immersive experience of the famous business and social travelers of the last century! Big names like Maugham and Hesse have stayed here, and there’s even a dedicated writer’s suite! Staying in the same hotel as your favorite authors feels like a time-traveling conversation!😆 ✅ Prime Location 🌊 Right in the heart of George Town, Penang (a UNESCO World Heritage Site)! Facing the Strait of Malacca with a private coastline~ Just a 15-minute walk to the bustling old town, super convenient for city walks! ✅ Legendary Stay Experience 💫 Once you step in, it feels like falling into a century-old Nanyang dream! Every morning when you open the door, the doorknob has the daily newspaper hanging on it📰 (an old tradition)~ The executive lounge by the pool on the first floor offers free cocktails and snacks from 6 to 7 pm every day! No need to rush to the trendy beach to watch the sunset🌅, you can enjoy the stunning sunset lying by the pool, so awesome! ✅ Photo Lover’s Paradise 📸 The hotel is basically a vintage museum! Antique decorations, retro wooden stairs and windows… every corner is stunningly beautiful! The room window opens to the sea🌊, and my cream-colored suitcase matched perfectly for photos! I couldn’t stop snapping pictures around the hotel for hours~ ⚠️ Must-know Tips for Your Stay ⚠️ ✅ The hotel is divided into Victory Wing and Heritage Wing! Victory Wing is newer and more budget-friendly; Heritage Wing has the old-style rooms where celebrities stayed, highly recommend the Heritage Wing sea view room!! ✅ Staying in the Heritage Wing comes with complimentary red wine🍷 and snacks, free drinks from the mini bar, and free access to the daily Happy Hour in the afternoon~ You can use all three restaurants and two pools freely, but Victory Wing guests can only use their own area~ ✅ Such a famous heritage hotel, yet the price is very affordable! During the Dragon Boat Festival, Heritage Wing sea view rooms are only 1300+ per night💰! But it’s super popular, so book early or you’ll miss out!! Friends, if you’re going to Penang, this hotel is the one to go for!! The experience is top-notch and definitely worth the price~🎉
