    The hotel is decorated with colonial era pieces adding to the charm. It is easily walkable all over George Town --even to the ferry. The air conditioning and awesom shower were very welcome after a busy and hot day.

    Feels like you are staying at a palace. The old world architecture and decor is beautiful, you would want to click pictures at every corner. Rooms were spacious and very aesthetically decorated.
