Yeng Keng Hotel

This 20-room heritage boutique hotel is a conversion of an Anglo-Indian mansion originally built in the 1800s. Each room here is a delight and a little reminder of Penang’s colonial past with genuine antiques displayed alongside modern accents; you’ll love their traditional facade, rustic chandelier, mother of pearl Chinese furniture, and finely-crafted old screens. Their small pool and loungers mean you’ll still catch some rays.
