Eastern & Oriental Hotel

In the heart of historic Georgetown, the capital of Penang, lies the extraordinary Eastern & Oriental Hotel. The hotel opened in 1884 and very recently reopened after a thorough restoration. No expense has been spared to keep this unique building intact.

Eastern & Oriental Hotel is the epitome of both a special time and a special place. For over a century, this remarkable hotel has been a testament to the elegance of the British colonial era. A stay at the Eastern & Oriental Hotel used to be reserved only for colonial rulers, but is now open to travellers seeking authentic colonial charm.

The hotel is located by the sea, but there is no beach. From the pool you have a wide view of the Andaman Sea. There is a wide promenade where you can take a nice stroll. The hotel is 20 km from Penang International Airport and within walking distance of several culinary spots, shopping malls and entertainment venues of downtown George Town.

The hotel consists of a Heritage Wing with 100 elegant suites and a Victory Annexe with 40 rooms.
