East Indies Mansion

"The East Indies Mansion is a restored Peranakan hotel with 7 rooms (from $55 per night, including a hot breakfast and WiFi) and a location at the center of historic George Town. Domestic treasures of the city’s past, such as hand-hewn kitchen utensils, school desks, and ceramics decorate the two open-air courtyards. Although most rooms are ideal for two people, we love the duplex family suite, with two queen bed guestrooms connected by spiral staircase, access to a shared study, and a bathroom paved with Penang’s distinctively colorful tilework."
