The Best Hotels in Penang, Malaysia | Condé Nast Traveler

"Part of the coveted Design Hotels portfolio, The Prestige Hotel draws design buffs with its contemporary interpretation of Victorian-era elegance. Rotating lights along corridors project an intricate lattice of shadows, animating the journey to one of 162 guest rooms, while rich botanical elements pay homage to the property's tropical surrounds. There are six different room types to choose from, each of which is complemented by rose-gold accents, a selection of TWG teas, complimentary movies on demand, and a glittering glass rain shower. And like its peers in this edit, The Prestige is ideally situated to allow diving in and out of George Town's madcap street scenes. The infinity pool, with dockside views, awaits atop the hotel and is a prime spot for relaxing. Whispering Wellness Spa, meanwhile, is a sanctuary where many of the therapies are rooted in Malaysian healing traditions that present a harmonious fusion of reflexology, Chinese Qi Gong breathing, and local well-being techniques." - Samia Qaiyum
