Macalister Mansion

Macalister Mansion (George Town, Penang) Verified Reviews | Tablet Hotels

"As the name may suggest, Macalister Mansion is an opulent reminder of Malaysia’s British colonial period, named for a Scottish governor who presided over Penang back when it was called Prince of Wales Island. Today this boutique hotel in historic George Town offers old-world grandeur, from the mosaic-lined swimming pool with a swim-up bar to an art collection with a range of pieces specifically commissioned for the space. There are just eight suites, outfitted in sleek blonde wood, glass panels, and crisp white linens. They’re all unique, with varying features, from modern four-poster beds to a private balcony overlooking the pool; all feature Nespresso machines and Bang & Olufsen sound systems. A pair of sophisticated restaurants, a wine bar, and a cigar lounge await after a day out exploring the UNESCO-honored historic center, a short drive away." - Tablet Hotels
