The Eastern and Oriental in Malaysia’s Penang – known simply as `the E&O’ to generations of travellers – has stood for well over a century as a testament to the grand elegance of the British colonial era. This remarkable hotel was founded by the brilliant Armenian Sarkies brothers (also behind grand colonial hotels in Yangon and Singapore).
This place is the embodiment of Penang in Malaysia. Located along the historic Macalister Road, it’s cool, arty and has fantastic food. What’s more, although it is set around a lovingly restored colonial mansion built in the early 1900, it has a quirky contemporary feel, although the love-them-or-hate-them art installations might come as a bit of a surprise.
