Eastern and Oriental, Penang

Eastern & Oriental Overview

The E&O exudes charm and heritage. Known as the ‘Grand Dame’ of George Town, for well over a century this luxurious property has played host to the best and brightest in international travel. It’s atmospheric Heritage Wing has undergone a recent top-to-toe renovation, ensuring the present day property continues to bring its exemplary hospitality and high service to the modern guest. Superior Suites features a separate living area, bedroom and a luxurious bathroom; natural wood floors, oriental furnishings and antique furniture evoke the nostalgia of the colonial era in Penang. With the re-opening of the Heritage Wing, the E&O’s revered repertoire of classic hospitality and culinary experiences has been enhanced: the Java Tree serves Straits Nyonya recipes and classic European dishes, while the Palm Court offers a selection of ethnic Asian inspired dishes and casual international fare as well as the classic three-tier afternoon tea. The new Farquhar’s Bar, now a handsome vintage cocktail bar with a view of Penang’s waterfront outside its expansive windows, is perfect for pre- and after-dinner drinks.
