1. Cheong Fatt Tze - The Qing Suites

Downtown George Town, 0.4 km from Penang State Museum

"Our stay at the Qing Suites was so wonderful, we could not have asked for a better experience. The history of the building, as well as the Blue Mansion, is fascinating, and adds to the magic of the place. The room was superb - clean and comfortable, with a lovely private courtyard. The main courtyard, where a delicious breakfast was served, is stunning. The staff deserve a special mention - attentive, kind, and always cheerful, and made our stay extra special."

Top Penang State Museum Hotel Reviews

Armenian Street Heritage Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is very well located in the heart of the World Heritage city centre. Staff were friendly and helpful, the rooms were good, with nice views, and the hotel features a rooftop bar and cafe, where breakfast is served, and where you can have a drink in the evening."

The Granite Luxury Hotel Penang

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was excellent. Beautiful big rooms, a wonderful infinity pool, kind staff, and a shuttle service that took guests to breakfast spots in the morning. Walking distance to the main streets in Georgetown. Would stay again with no hesitation."

Muntri Grove

8/10 Good

"This is a little hidden gem in the heart of Georgetown - perfectly located for exploring and enjoying the enthralling historic city. The staff were fantastic, the room was very spacious, functional and clean - the highlight being the clever use of the legacy building and the decoration and features to match (with modern touches, including aircon). Some will find the sound of the nightlife till the small hours off-putting perhaps, and the amenities are basic although they include a lovely little pool/patio area. The lack of onsite catering is an irrelevance as there is a plethora of options right on the doorstep, with helpful advice & guidance available from reception. A really comfortable and relaxing base for a Penang adventure."

"A beautiful heritage terrace house in a fantastic location in George Town, within walking distance of many attractions. We stayed comfortably for two nights, with three guests each enjoying their own king bed and sharing two well-appointed bathrooms. The furniture, décor, and amenities were all thoughtfully chosen. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a vintage stay full of old-world charm"
