Residing In A Classy Heritage Building While Staying Modern In An Instagram-Worthy Hotel With Classy Black And White Interiors Within The Georgetown UNESCO Heritage Site

Modern Hotel Penang On The Heritage Building Est. In 1920

Once again, I made another awesome trip to Penang one week before Christmas just to avoid the crowds knowing that local tourists will start to visit and plan for their year end trip over the last week of the year. Indeed, this is the perfect plan because week after my trip, my friends also making their staycation plan to stay at this hotel but it was fully booked. So, make sure you made an early reservation to avoid disappointment since this hotel started to gain it fame now.

Travel Responsibility - Be A Responsible Tourism

Before I share with you the details of my staycation here at Modern Hotel Georgetown, I saw this poster that really attracts my attention. It was about the reminders from the Penang Government to all the tourists and I believe this is applicable to everyone, basically everyone not limited to tourist only. 

 

COVID-19 has been there in our community for almost a year now. Accept it or not, we still need to follow all the SOP set by the government. Always remember to follow these simple rules at least we can minimize the spread within us right. 

 

Always protect yourself with these 5 simple steps. 

 

1. Always practice Social Distancing at least 1 meter from others! Don't know how far is one meter? Just make sure the person around you is at least an arm's length away from you. 
2. Always wash your hands with soap whenever possible and sanitize your hands regularly. Minimize touching surfaces whenever you are traveling outside. 
3. Always wear face mask at all time, make it a habit to reduce the spread of the COVID-19. 
4. Always dispose the used face mask properly in the trash. If you are using cloth face mask, do wash them frequently as well or sanitize it.
   
5. Seek for medical attention immediately if you are unwell. 

Check-In Procedure 

I was really amazed when I first arrived here looking at this 100 years old hotel building and totally blown away the moment I stepped into the hotel lobby. The design was so classic with its black tiled-wall and white paint, a totally black and white concept. The first thing to do was to scanned our MySejahtera and during our check-in, there is only one staff on-duty. He briefed us on the hotel rules and regulation and request us to filled up some necessary check-in documents. A total of RM150 deposit was collected and will be refund during check-out.

There are other charges incurs as well for extra guest, late check-out or early check-in.

After check-in procedure is completed, we proceed to our designated rooms that situated on the 1st and 2nd floor. The staircase heading to the upper floor is also another instagrammable spot that refurbished with black paint.

The white backdrop with multiple items that painted in white attached on the wall that I shared earlier is actually located at the first floor. It comes with a bench that you can eventually sit and strike the best pose of yours for an Instagrammable OOTD.

After dropping our luggage on the 2nd floor, Faiz and I visited Mira's room that located at the first floor. The spacious room comes with a king-sized bed with an attached bathroom that covered with glass wall only. This room also comes with a bathtub that located at the covered-balcony with a coffee table that you can eventually hangout there.

Slightly different from the room that we visited earlier, the bathtub in my hotel room is placed inside the bathroom and made the entire bathroom more spacious. This space is also covered with glass walls only but thankfully it comes with the sliding curtains. For your relaxing bath experience, the hotel provides the shower gel, bath bomb and salts.
