Trailfinders View
This historic hotel boasts a lovely location on the waterfront in vibrant Georgetown. Behind the elegant white facade, the cool colonial interiors reflect the comfort and style of a bygone age offering grace and charm in a beautiful setting. Relax by either of the pools, both set against the bright turquoise hues of the Andaman Sea; luxuriate your senses within the calming spa, where only organic products are used; or take a peek back in time at the E&O Gallery, which displays the connected history of Penang and this hotel. There are plenty of options for every palette when it comes to cuisine, savour in the age old tradition of an English afternoon tea at Palm Court or enjoy Malaysian delights and international dishes in a buffet spread at Sarkies, all before washing it down with a digestif at the timelessly designed Farquhar's Bar. Once pronounced as ‘The premier hotel east of Suez’ this grand hotel is now divided into two distinct wings, the original and fully restored Heritage Wing and the newer Victory Annexe. Both offer high standards of accommodation and exceptional levels of service.

Trailfinders Hotel Classification Guide
Modest accommodation with basic facilities, representing good value where price is the main priority.
Simple, comfortable accommodation and facilities offering good value for the destination.
Good standard of accommodation and/or facilities and overall a higher level of service may be expected.
High international standards of accommodation and facilities where luxury and quality of service are priorities.
Indicates that the property offers a higher than average level of accommodation and facilities when compared to other properties of the same classification.
Unique, often smaller and sometimes historic properties, which offer individual charm and are consequently very popular. They offer the standards of accommodation indicated by their classification but rooms may be smaller than average and not all facilities may be available.
Trailfinders classifications are for your guidance only and do not mirror any international "star rating" system. In each case, the full description of the property should be read and used in conjunction with the classification indicated. A 3★ city hotel, for example, may be more expensive than a 4★ if it is in a prime location. Classifications are unique to a destination and can reflect local or regional variations in quality and service, so a 5★ in a particular area may not be comparable with a 5★ elsewhere.
