The traditional craftsmen of George Town in Penang - SilverKris
"A restored colonial‑era hotel on the northern edge of central George Town that has been given a new lease of life after years of decline (it formerly operated as the Cathay Hotel and even as a brothel). The renovation emphasizes airy interiors and period details—wrought iron, teak, marble and old tiles—to recapture the feel of old residential mansions, a vision promoted by the property's management as a sensitive revival rather than a wholesale remake." - Nicholas Walton
