Eastern and Oriental Hotel is a tranquil haven in the bustling heart of Penang and offers its guests the finest traditions of luxury and service.
Location Situated right on the seafront, the Eastern and Oriental Hotel Penang is placed just minutes from the business district, central shopping area, popular nightspots and heritage sites.
Rooms Magnificently furnished and extravagantly spacious, all 101 suites with sea or city view have round-the-clock room service. Each suite is tastefully and thoughtfully furnished with modern day amenities and access to the wireless world.
Restaurant A colonial coffee shop that offers a wide selection of delicious local and international fare and a British Pub offering an excellent range of beers on tap and traditional pub fare with a slice of colonial Malaya is also on offer for guests to relish.
General For a conference or a meeting with a difference, experience the old world charm of the Grand Ballroom with a 400-seat capacity, a full stage, royal boxes and gallery. Six smaller function suites, which can accommodate groups of 20 to 150 people, are also available. After a busy day, you can unwind in the magnificent pool with its view across the sea, stroll around the immense gardens or workout in the exercise room, which is equipped with a gym and sauna, to energise your body, mind and spirit.
If you would like to have a 'Raffles' experience at half the price this is the place to go. For two well travelled Scots this was a wonderful few days.
