The Prestige Hotel

George Town - MALAYSIA

The Prestige Hotel is an independent bespoke luxury hotel that best portrays the natural urban beauty of Penang’s historic core. Set amongst the beautiful and intricate 19th century English colonial buildings found in this UNESCO World Heritage site, the locally rooted boutique brings to mind a tropical Victorian Eden through its heritage floor patterns and abundant lattices, which spatially amplify the hotel’s lush garden-conservatory feel.

A modern-day interpretation of Victorian design, it welcomes the urbane traveler to a contemporized and magical quasi-colonial universe, brought whimsically to life by Ministry of Design. For example, pieces in the rooms which reference Houdini’s escape box, beds that seem to levitate and hidden doors that reveal concealed rooms.

The Prestige Hotel features 162 rooms, an all-day dining restaurant, a rooftop infinity pool, events pavilion and terrace, and a vibrant Victorian dining and retail arcade. Part of the prestigious Design Hotels™ portfolio, it is a destination in itself offering an authentic travel experience, and the perfect launching point for intrepid business and leisure travelers seeking to experience local charm at its best.
